Copyright Nakawa´s Ridgebacks 0722943227 Made with Xara Web Designer, Webmaster: Jarmila Nahalkova Bones Chicken bones are soft enough for dog not to damage teeth. Other types of bones are suitable  as well; however they should be originated from young animal (sheep, calf, turkey etc). Bones  are very nutritious since they contain minerals (calcium, phosphorus) necessary for dog to build  their own bones. Moreover, the bone marrow is very rich in vitamins. Bones should never be fed  cooked, since they can splinter and get stacked in dog throat.
