Dogs can supplement calcium by eating bones. This is a common saying. Although dogs can really supplement calcium by gnawing bones, they also have a certain calcium supplement effect. In fact, the calcium in the bones is difficult to absorb by the dog's gastrointestinal digestion and is mostly excreted from the body with feces.
So eating bones by dogs cannot achieve the effect of calcium supplementation, but one advantage is that it is teeth cleaning.
The disadvantages of improper feeding bones to dogs are many, such as: bones stab wound the mouth and digestive tract, large bones cause esophageal infarction, eating too many bones causes gastritis, gastroenteritis, sharp bone debris causes gastric perforation, etc. In addition, for larger dogs, eating small bones such as chicken necks are prone to swallow them if they don’t chew them properly. It will be troublesome if they are really stuck in the esophagus. You have to go to the hospital. It’s better to be careful.
Cooked or raw pigs, cows, and sheep are thicker and safer for dogs to bite. It is also more beneficial for dogs to digest and teeth maintenance.
