Smoked beef bones for my dog

Heater2u

I have a local butcher that smokes beef bone and gets 5 bucks for about an 8 to 10 bone that I can get raw at the local super market for 3 for 2 bucks . For 2 bucks am going to try it . I was just wondering if anybody has tried this or tried smoking anything else for their pet and if so  what kind or wood did you add . Also might try this with venison any thoughts on that?

Welcome aboard.  No clue.

 "My" (really my Sister's GSD who lives across the street from my pit) dog loves beef bones smoked or broiled or braised. I can't tell if he prefers one over the others.

I used to have 2 labs that I gave venison bones to uncooked. They would pull the meat off and eat some of the bones. I used to keep all my venison boneless. No cooking necessary for those 2 labs

I suppose the bones are smoked to give them a longer shelf life. My daughter has huskies, and when they visit, I often make beef ribs. We get the meat, and if they are patient, they get the bones, which they clean, and often eat entirely by the end of the day.

Beef and pork neck bones I've used for stew are also big favorites.

i dont think the dog would prefer them over just raw, either way they are for outside. the cooked smoked ones will stain anything it touches inside. my dog had plaque, vet suggested a 600 dollar cleaning. the raw bones cleaned the teeth right up

Before we lost my bestest grilling buddy when I started the grill the drooling would start (like a kitchen faucet on both sides).  He would lay on the deck while I put 2 frozen hotdogs, 3 if it was a long cook on.  Funny thing, he never fussed about my cooking.  It didn't matter if I burnt the dawgs or they came off still half frozen.  I think however you smoke or cook or not the lucky pet will not complain.  Just be careful as some cooked bones will splinter when eaten.

Yes, be careful with cooked bones. Any bones are okay raw. Cooked bones tend to splinter. I feed my GSD a pure raw diet and have since a puppy. The breeder swears by the raw diet but was very against any cooked bones. Raw chicken, venison, beef, lamb, etc but just not cooked. Good luck.
