Your vet has told you to never give your dog cooked bones including chicken bones, steak bones, ribs and ham bones, but why are these things so bad for your dog – aren’t they built to digest bones? Before you rush Tank off to the vet to have his wing-filled tummy x-rayed, here are some home remedies to make your pet feel better, along with distress signs to watch out for to make sure your dog will be able to pass the bones ok.

Foods You Should Not Feed Your Dog

March 24, 2008 by z3admin 1 Comment

Dogs metabolize food differently than we do and because of this there are some foods that may be harmful to dogs if ingested. While some of the foods may only cause mild digestive upset, others can cause severe illness and in some cases, death. Here is a table of common food items you should avoid feeding to your dog.
