Guest HutchKC Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Are pork ribs ok for greyhounds? They don't splinter like chicken bones right? And does the size matter? Will she swallow it if it is less than 5 inches long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaGreys Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Others may feel differently but I would say no. And rib bones do splinter Quote Missing my little Misty who took a huge piece of my heart with her on 5/2/09, and Ekko, on 6/28/12 For the sick, the lost, and the homeless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ola Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 (edited) Cooked or raw? If cooked, I would definitely say no way. If raw, maybe - give more than a single bone to reduce the risk of it being swallowed (i.e. two or more bones attached together by meat). And you may like side ribs better than back ribs - they are a bit softer and also less expensive. Edited August 23, 2008 by Ola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicocat Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I sure wouldn't. Quote Ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FullMetalFrank Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 (edited) Mine eats raw pork ribs and crunches thru the bone no problem. I would not give cooked rib bones, ever... Oh, and like Ola said, the raw ribs I feed are in slabs of three or four ribs so they can't just be swallowed.

Guest simile Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Whenever I smoke ribs on the grill, I always save a few raw for the pups. They don't have any problem eating them, and since they're pork, they love 'em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cris_M Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Well, gee, if they're baby back ribs, you should send them to me! Seriously, I feed RAW regular pork ribs to Duncan with no problem. Like Ola, I feed the ribs attached to one another. That way, there isn't a chance of choking, but your pup will still get a major teeth flossing getting them apart. Around here, it is good eats.
