Are bones healthy for dogs, and how do I choose the right one?

Cooked bones of any kind can be dangerous as they can break and splinter into small, sharp pieces, so it's better to stick to commercially sold chews. When choosing a bone for your dog, look for one that’s bigger than your dog’s mouth without easily breakable parts to reduce the chance of them choking. Lastly, you should always supervise your dog’s chewing and take it away once it’s worn down to a size smaller than their mouth.
