It is important for dogs and cats to chew. This helps keep their teeth strong and clean. It's also good "occupational therapy" Raw meaty bones (No joints) are good for your pets.
Raw chicken wings, and chicken necks are good for cats and small dogs. Feed appropriate-sized bones. Turkey necks are better for medium and larger-sized dogs.
Presenting raw meaty bones must to be weighed up according to your pet’s eating habits. If your pet is a glutton and swallows food without much chewing, rather ask your vet for advice.
Raw meaty bones are nutritious. Cooked bones are not - they can wear and even break your pet's teeth and lead to constipation.
Cats are true carnivores. Their teeth are made for cutting through meat and bone. A cat’s tongue is rough for a reason. It is very efficient at licking all the meat of the bone. Lions and all large cats have rough tongue's as well. While dogs are omnivores; they have cutting teeth and crushing teeth and have a wider variety of nutrient-rich foods.
