Can American Bulldogs eat beef rib bones?

Answer 1

nope, there is a possibility it will splinter,and bone fragments can get caught in his/her stomach.

Answer 2

Yes, Flat BEEF Rib bones are fine for dogs. Preferrably unccoked, as the cooking process weakens the bones and can cause it to splinter easier.

If you look at ANY pet store, they sell COOKED "Flat" rib bones for dogs. of course, again you have to take the dogs size into hand.

If you have a large breed dog, I personally would not recommend giving him Smaller "Baby Back" Rib Bones, but if it is a medium or smaller dog it should be fine.

As with any Bone though, there is a pottential for splintering or sharding, and that can cause problems if not attended to quickly by a Veterenarian.

Best advise is, ask your Veterenarian what they suggest for Your Breed of canine.

Have you been kissed by a dog today? If not, then perhaps you need to be! LOL

Answer 3

You shouldn't offer bones to your dog that you have cooked yourself due to splintering and other issues. Bones that have been prepared as dog chews that are for sale in pet stores are OK, since these bones have been processed correctly for use by dogs.

Even so, it's best to be around when your dog is chewing on a bone in case of choking (i.e. don't give your dog a bone and then leave the house). Any time the dog breaks off a piece the size of a Baseball or smaller, take that part away to avoid choking. Also, don't let a dog chew a bone for longer than 30-45 minutes, otherwise the stool will become very chalky and hard (possibly causing constipation).

Answer 4

Rib bones are very brittle and if a dog eats these bones slivers of bone can cause problems in the digestive system . I would suggest not giving your dog the bones, but getting a commercially packaged bones for dogs.

Answer 5

Depends on the dog. A St. Bernard, maybe. A chihuahua, no. Look at the dog's size and age to make the decision.
