If only my dad had gotten the same advice BEFORE giving my dog cooked bones... when he was dog sitting Piper he gave her beef ribs that were first boiled, then bbq'd.... extra dry. She swallowed a splintered peice and fractured a molar on each side and had to have them both extracted. That cost a pretty penny... I've just now begun to allow her to have a raw knuckle here and there because I was so paranoid about it!
They usually get bully sticks or dehydrated beef tendons. It's kind of a gross visual for city people... but before I moved to where I live now, I lived on a working ranch. When the guys would hunt, they always cut and package the meat themselves, so the dogs were always sitting front row center for some elk leftovers. One day I didn't realize the men had been out butchering out an elk in the front yard and when I went to find Piper she was standing in the middle of an entire rib cage just gnawing away.... little carnivore!
I've never fed them buffalo... hmm... I'll have to check out the selection at the store the next time I go...
