Are these bones okay for dogs?

[sourland]

Given the size of your dogs, I would be concerned that they might try to swallow the bones before chewing them sufficiently. I buy beef knuckle bones at the local Amish market and give them to my dogs (beagles) periodically to help in cleaning their teeth.

I haven't fed really small bones but I'll give Misty a pork hock once in awhile and she's fine with those. BTW, I feed her pork roasts bone in and chicken quarters and have not had any problems at all with pork. Beef is really expensive here and she gets some as a treat. I wouldn't feed beef bones unless they did dentures for dogs

so I add pork as her other meat and have done so with 2 other dogs for years with no adverse reaction from pork or pork bones which are softer than beef. I should add that she gets organ meats, about 10 oz. a week and all my meat is given to her frozen even tho she's not a gulper, I like that it takes her awhile to finish her food.

Is this too much information

?

So long as you know your dogs aren't gulpers all raw bones should be safe. I give my akita 3-4" round bones and frozen pork ribs all the time but I know she will carefully chew everything in to small pieces before swallowing.

Nope, not gulpers. Kane especially likes to savor every bite; more so since he's on a diet.
It helps that we have prevented any competition for food by feeding them in seperate rooms.
