from the family dinner. Even cooked beef bones can break into dangerous pieces. In addition to being dangerous, cooked bones aren\u2019t as healthy as other bones because the cooking process strips them of many of their beneficial nutrients.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"can-dogs-eat-cooked-beef-bones\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_dogs_eat_cooked_beef_bones\"><\/span>Can dogs eat cooked beef bones?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Don\u2019t give you dog cooked bones of any kind.<\/p>\n<p>They splinter into shards that can cause choking and serious damage to the dog\u2019s mouth, throat, or intestines.

Too many bones may lead to constipation. The general guideline is one to two raw bones per week with a few days in between each serving, but this may vary between individual dogs so talk to your vet for advice. Speak to your vet about your dog\u2019s nutrition.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-is-the-safest-bone-for-a-dog-to-chew\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_safest_bone_for_a_dog_to_chew\"><\/span>What is the safest bone for a dog to chew?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Stay away from cooked turkey, chicken, and pork bones as they can easily splinter.
