Our vets were recently presented with a case that we see in our clinic more often than we would like. A Rottweiler had begun hypersalivating, pawing at his face and generally became restless and distressed. Our vet team quickly sedated the dog and was able to examine the mouth. This is what they saw⦠a large bone stuck between the maxillary molars!
This is an example of why you should not feed bones to your dog. Eating bones can also cause choking, intestinal blockages, gastrointestinal punctures, fractured teeth, and severe constipation.
Some safer snack alternatives are ice cubes frozen with pellets, raw carrot or hide chews.
Because of you, we can do what we.
