Someone passed this along to me. People have different thinking about bones, so your mileage may vary, but I found it useful.

I've seen that. Given that the FDA is a little weird sometimes about things i take it with a grain of salt. I wonder if the author of the article was thinking of cooked bones (which if that is the case, then it makes sense).

I did end up getting a knee (??? about the size of my fist) bone and Fawda just loved it! She even took Lily's (Lily isn't as much about chewing as Fawda is). She even favoured the bone over leftover holiday turkey (!!).

So we'll see how it goes.

I think that anything they can fit in their mouth that can choke them is dangerous. If its a bone or even small toy that can be chewed up small enough to choke they could. Especially puppies. So its a trade off but its still dangerous so I would advise anyone to give these things when you are close by just in case.

Here is a great link and I suggest if you are a dog owner you print it and keep it handy.
