my dogs just love bones! they go nuts when they hear me rustling the bag
they eat them right down til theres just a wee bit left in a semi circle shape where theyve gnawed out the middle, then their party trick is usually to get it stuck on the end of their noses trying to get the last bit of goodness out
It makes my life easier too, nice small compact solid jobbies very easy to pick up with the shovel compared to the usual big browners they do
Its good for their teeth too, my dogs have all got really nice white teeth and their breath smells ok (for a dog)
I have found the best food for putting weight on dogs is tripe but god it stinks!!! :smt078 beef and chicken are not too bad but tripe seems to be the best to beef a dog up quickly, I like to beef them up while they are growing pups then when they get to about 3/4 grown I start doing a bit more than just walking I start giving them some running and play with a ball and then build it up gradually and ration out their food til I get them at just the right weight. there is nothing worse than an overweight dog, my mate keeps her dog far too fat I am always saying to her she is spoiling a decent dog and she will kill her with kindness but she wont listen
