mrsmcd7 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Can I give my greyhound a cooked ham bone (the large bone inside the spiral ham I cooked) :)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time4ANap Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 (edited) The usual rule is no cooked bones of any kind. Cooked or smoked bones are more prone to splintering than raw bones. There may be some who give cooked bones with extreme supervision, but the general rule is no cooked bones. Edited June 4, 2011 by Time4ANap Quote Camp Broodie.

Guest RichardUK Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Depends on what is meant by cooked bones - the usual rule is no cooked bones - but really it is no over cooked bones - over cooked bones are brittle and can splinter. I don't cook until the flesh falls off the bone - so the bones are not brittle. Equally here dog bones sold in pet shops are sold cooked enough to kill the bacteria. In general I give raw bones - but have to say had no problem with cooked bones at the kennels - but the dogs are always constantly monitored while eating bones - the same at home.

Guest BrianRke Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I would also say no cooked bones and especially no HAM bones. Pork of any kind MAY cause a host of problems in your hound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Swifthounds Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Pork will not cause problems, but the preservatives and additives in ham will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RHDonna Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Thanks for the info, I was tempted to give our new grey the ham bone. Guess split pea soup is in my future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pork products have proven to be a contributing factor in many cases of Pancreatitis! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pork products have proven to be a contributing factor in many cases of Pancreatitis! most kibble fed dogs aren't used to getting a big dose of fat in a meal and pork can be quite fatty...esp the bits that people want to share with their dogs. The problem isn't the pork, it's the fat. Edited November 30, 2011 by KennelMom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
