She LOVES bones. I usually give her compressed rawhide but I have 2 natural bones in her cabinet as a treat. I was reading the back and it says that it can splinter and hurt their digestive track. Is this a serious risk? Should I not give her the bone?

I'd worry more about the rawhide impacting in her digestive track.

What do you mean by "natural bones"?

Oops it's a ham bone. The brand is Natural Bones. The back warns about these bones might splinter...almost like a disclaimer. I wasn't sure if I should still give her one.

Personally, I'd be much more leery of rawhide. I give my pups bones from the butcher- supervised of course. Nice and fresh, nothing prepared or packaged.

I buy raw marrow bones for my two from the same boutique where I get their food. I get about 6 of them for around $8. They're about 2-3" tall and 3-4" wide. They get a new one about once a week and once they've eaten all the marrow I'll wet down their food the night before, stuff their bone and freeze it. It entertains them for quite some time.

I buy Skye's bones from our local butcher. A couple of quid get me a huge bag, some which she has difficulty lifting. No wrapping, no branding or silly labels. Job's a good 'un.

Is it smoked? As that is a lot safer than rawhides. She will be fine with it, and like others said rawhides are a lot more dangerous. I believe almost all bones have to have that warning because you can only imagine how many people would try to sue if not.
