    |
|
Hi
I went to the Butchers yesterday to get Abbey some liver and i asked him for a marrowbone.
He said he very rarely gets them but he has pork and lamb bones that they give away for free !!!
I got a bag of pork bones fairly big ones too !
But my question is - how often should Abbey have them ? and should i reduce her daily intake of burns the day she has a bone?
She ate a whole one yesterday so should i not give her one today 
(it took her 3 hours to devour it !!!!! )

Hi,
Sorry I do not have an answer for you, but will watch this post with interest as Cadbury also adores bones and would eat them every day given the chance!!

I generally reduce her meals if she has had 'extras' and treats during the day.
I don't think a bit of variety does them any harm - as long as their not eating treats all the time.

Doobs only gets marrowbones as an odd treat - but only for two reasons. Its hard to get hold of them, and also his bottom burps stink to high heaven after!

oohhhh I didnt think they were allowed pork????? Isnt it hard to digest or something??????? Not sure someone will confirm deny that I am sure.
I get 2 pieces of marrowbone a week and Ruby has one on a tues/wed and one at the weekend - the marrowbone is quite fattening but I dont have to worry about that with Ruby so I just give freely without reducing her meal. Chewing bones is fabulous for their teeth and develops their neck muscles also not to mention keeping them quiet hehehehe I love bones
