One thing to note that is not apparent from the diagram is the jaw.
The back teeth (molars) are used to crunch and smash to get the food down to size so it can be consumed. The front teeth (Incisors and canines) are used to rip and tear. Have a look at the dental structure of a dog. Both have jaws and teeth that are structured to rip and tear as well as crunch and smash cartilage and bone. There is another alternative to getting good bone into their diet and we feel strongly that including raw meaty bones into our pets’ menu plan has other significant benefits.Ĭanines are facultative carnivores.
Rest assured, your dog and cat are receiving the proper amount of calcium when feeding the foods we merchandise in our stores. The amount and type of bone and cartilage will vary by protein and by manufacturer. The prepared raw dinners and blends that we offer have a specific amount of ground bone or bone dust included in the mixtures. Calcium is extremely important to bone density and joint health during growth stages and in larger breeds. Our dog’s and cat’s need calcium for blood coagulation, muscle contraction, and has a significant effect on vision and heart function. Why? Calcium.Ĭalcium is vital to bone structure. Introducing new bones (or chew treats) for the first time should be done under supervision to give one a level of comfort that our dog/cat can handle the chew and does so without a risk of ingesting something too big.īone is an important ingredient in a dog’s or cat’s diet. Most cats and dogs know to crunch to get to size. If your pet is an aggressive chewer or voracious swallower, you might want to exercise some caution with the size of bone you give. However, it is important to exercise some common sense when introducing something new to our pets to chew on and ingest. Raw bones can play an important role in our pets’ nutrition and their happiness. Chicken, beef, lamb, duck, pork, whole fish and even kangaroo.
