It is difficult to say if a bone will pass safely through the dog's system or not. Much depends on the size of the dog and the size of the bone as well as if the bone was cooked or uncooked, chewed by the dog or swallowed whole. There are symptoms to watch for to know if there are problems. Sudden lack of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea or change in stool, and lethargy. These are symptoms of a blockage of the intestines and would need surgery. The other problems caused by bones is if they splinter and pierce the intestinal wall as this will cause bleeding and sepsis. Any sign of illness, if the gums are pale or white the dog should be seen immediately.

Beef bones Yes, though the bones should be thoroughly cooked to prevent the transmission of parasites that may be in the meat. Chicken and pork bones NEVER because they splinter and can cause damage if swallowed. Both of these answers are incorrect! Bones should NEVER be cooked as it changes the molecular structure which causes splintering. Chicken bones are fine for dogs as long as they are RAW.

Can dogs eat a pork shoulder bone that has been cooked?

Pork chop bones and chicken bones are NOT good for dogs. These bones have a tendency to splinter and if the dog swallows too many splinters it can be very dangerous to their internal organs. Veterinarians do not recommend giving your dog any bones at all although I think an occasional large beef bone is OK. Even better are the bones you buy at the pet store, no chance of splinters!
