There is a lot of misinformation about bones being unsafe if they are uncooked.

What is unsafe are cooked bones. Cooked bones are dangerous because during the cooking process, under heat, the bones will ‘dry out’ and become more brittle…the bones’ edges become splintered and sharp. Cooked bone splinters and fragments can puncture the soft lining of the stomach and intestinal walls.

Uncooked bones are SAFE as they maintain the relative softness of their structure. When the bones are chewed and swallowed, the dog’s stomach has a higher concentration of hydrochloric acid, which break down the structure of the bones. Somewhat chemically softening the sharp edges in the dog’s stomach before proceeding through the intestines and eventually excreted. When uncooked bones are excreted, the pieces are small and edges are soft and rounded.
