You are too liberal in recommending beef bones. They are just not worth the risk. Most beef/buffalo bones (especially leg bones) can be tooth-wreckers for most dogs. My Boston got 2 slab fractures in adult teeth from rec bones (we regularly fed cow marrow/knuckle bones and buffalo ribs before I knew better). There are countless stories online of worn-down or broken teeth due to these dense bones. I think they should be unequivocally avoided. Most bones of the smaller animals like goats and lambs are usually fine, and of course, rabbits and poultry are generally soft and fine for teeth. There are over 12,000 members on the Rawfeeding list now, I think, and more info there if you would like: http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/rawfeeding/ Hi there, It would be great if you could be more conservative/cautious in your recommendations here.
