The BEST Raw Bones To Clean Your Pet's Teeth 

"be careful if you have a large pet since they might try to-" let's talk about that time one of my Pyrenees actually managed to break a beef trotter and I spent three days nervously staring at her butt because I wanted to be sure she didn't get anything too big lodged in there. She did not. And she was very proud.

Wow! I used raw meaty bone but the other day a local butcher gave me a heavy beef bone for the doggis. And my mom bought a processed stick for cleaning dog teeth. The dog was all day working on that stuff and today he woke up with the vast majority of his tartar build up gone. It's incredible

Yeeees! Raw meaty bones have really helped improve my dog’s dental health! He got from yucky tartar buildup, yellow teeth; to shiny pearly whites, and even healthier gums! Also, how can we submit a video of our raw fed pet for you to feature on here? I know sometimes u ask for videos on Instagram!

Wow I didn’t realize about taking bones away from them. Thank you for the tip!!

I have been waiting on this one!

We fed our dogs raw marrow bones for years. They kept all their teeth until they passed. We just lost our dog of 16 1/2 years.

We would recommend RAW chicken feet for safety teeth polisher 🐶🐶🤓🪥🦷✨ work like a charm🌈✨

Thank you! This was so helpful!

thanks for contributing this video, !!

Thank you so much for this useful videos

Thank you so much for your content. I love watching it and my little one loves his chicken foot! 🎊

Great info. Be sure never to buy those smoked bones or seasoned (ie turkey leg), from meat section. Smoke bones will splinter.

I'am going back to raw in the fall I seen amazing change in my APBT.

love your channel thanks

Love your page!!

I use a commercial raw nugget but it does lead to plaque because its all ground up. Including Chicken wings literally saved my dogs teeth. Hes Chihuahua dachshund and both breeds have histories of dental issues. Hes 15 and has only lost one tooth to decay thats when i made the switch. Has most of his vision and hearing (a little loss is normal in old age) and the only sign hes as old as he is is his gray face and feet. He has so much more energy and lost all his excess weight.

My dog loves turkey necks! Give her a couple a week. Will try ribs too

Great video 👍

Thank you for what you do. I have a GSD pup on the way and these videos have been a godsend!

HI :) I have a 6y old white shepherd and have been feeding him raw for two years now (mainly) because he has teeth issues. The vet has to put him under anesthesia every year to clean them and says he's going to have to take out his back teeth next year :( I don't know what to do because those are the main teeth he uses to break the bones in his daily meals. I asked if I should brush his teeth and the vet says it woudn't change anything. I give him big meaty bones to chew several times a week and it doesn't seem to improve. I woudn't ever go back to anything other than a raw diet anyways, it has saved him from big intestinal issues he had all his life before this :) thank you so much for your beautiful work and this precious information

I had a large mastiff. He would chew through a leg bone, including cow femure. Didn't hurt him, he enjoyed it very much...

great video

Resource guarding is trainable. What I mean is, you either train them to do it, or you train them to not do it. It's easy to train them to resource guard you simply have to do nothing as a baseline. If you want to train your dog to NOT resource guard, then you need to ... NEED to hand feed them. This is labor intensive, but not complicated. There are two ways to do this: 1. Hand feed them food directly from your hand while you hold it. During this process, you can train them in "Out" (wherin they let go of whatever is in their mouth). Training them "Out" (or whatever word you use for the to drop things) with hand feeding is a MASSIVE win. When you first start training it, you can give them other food of the same type as a reward, or what I do, is give them a lower value food reward. This teaches the animal that all rewards are rewards, and helps you better measure their level of food guarding and obedience. Make sure to mark their behavior (YES!), and reward them with love and praise. Then go back to feeding them their actual food after a short break of a few seconds. 2. Give them the food in bit sized portions from your hand. Don't hold it. You can do this through training by giving their meals as the training reward. For instance, sit, stay, recall... That can be their breakfast. Down, Out (drop it), leave it, can be dinner. This really really drives home obedience for the things I refer to as "emergency" commands. You don't want any confusion or guessing when you tell your dog to drop something "Out!", or leave something alone, or to come, or stay... etc. These commands aren't tricks. They are for the safety of you, your dog, and other people and animals. If you consistently, and calmly feed your dog in this manner... they WILL NOT food guard. If all you do is put down a bowl, and let them eat... they get to make that decision and will train themselves without your input.

My greyhound enjoys frozen smelts each morning as a treat.

I didn't know you could give them eggs! I'll have to try and see if my cat likes them!

any recommendations gor heavy chewing cats? are deer antlers an option?

Where would you buy these? I'm pretty sure my grocery store doesn't have that, and i don't have a car. I live in a small urban city.

Can you give 4 month puppy a knuckle or femur bone for recreation? Will it crack their teeth? I have a heavy chewer, but he is a big dooberman pup. How long should I allow a dog or puppy chew a raw recreational bone?

Freeze them. A bone a day keeps the vet bills away.

Thank you I have a mastiff mix and Boston Terrier, chuweenie what bones are good for there teeth

I have a mini Goldendoodle who buries around the house any bones I give him. And he buries chew sticks in the couch for later. He has some tartar buildup on his K-9 teeth that brushing isn't removing. I'll try once again the raw bone method but for now, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he won't bury this, too.

Hello! Thank you for all of your work and help in this matter! Question: my 5 months old kitten refuses to try any sort of bone tissue in any meat or fish, regardless of how soft it is, she just lefts it on the plate or plays with it like it's a toy. She eats all kinds of meat, organs, fish, seafood, egg yolk, chicken broth jello, and in addition and I give her the Nutra Thrive for cats supplement that supposed to cover all the minerals and vitamins gaps (including Calcium). Her blood test shows a good calcium level but I feel like if she was in the wild nature she would have to consume way more meaty bones with her prey. Do you think I should add eggshell powder just in case? Thank you!!!

I give my dog raw meaty bone and hold it from the other end. When he bites it I brush his teeth with electric tooth brush. Even he often growls he won't let go of the bone and he only gets bones after teeth brushing. If it doesn't work make sure he is hungrier and always start with normal toothbrush and shorter brushing time. My dog didn't like the taste of dog toothpastes so I first used seasalt water instead. At first I stopped giving him any treats and only gave him them after teeth cleaning. His treats were raw meat and dried chunks of beef which cleans teeth also. I have used soda dissolved in water few times to get his teeth clean and white. In my country buying bones from meat market is 30 times cheaper than buying them from petstore, they are fresh and come from animal welfare certificated farms which most farms here are. You can ask leftover pieces for your dog while buying bones which are almost free too and great for dog's teeth. You might all know this but I wish someone had told me this before. I tried every other tip my veterinarians and dog trainers gave me to clean my rescue dog's teeth and nothing worked.

What would be a safe choice for a 9weeks old medium size dog ? I’m a little scared that she breaks a tooth or something...

Most marrow bones I have seen have little or no meat on them. Also, even though my dogs are small, they will chew dangerously on the end of it by fitting the edge between the teeth. I don't understand what the marrow bones do for any dog. The knuckle bones sound promising. Also, within minutes, my yorkie will have a rack of ribs torn apart so then we are down to individual ribs. And he will bite through them rapidly. He is a power chewer.

Watching this while watching my two dogs chewing lamb thigh bones 🤪

I have an 8lb Toy Poodle. I'm trying to get her to eat raw bones for her teeth but she won't eat an raw poultry bones. She ate a little bit of a raw lamb rib but I got scared and took it from her. That's the only raw food I've found she will it. Can I let her it a lamb rib bone or no?

Do you recommend this for a senior Chihuahua Minpin? My little old man has had a lot of tooth extractions already. It's almost impossible to brush his teeth, he gives me a hard time.

What would you suggest for for young kittens? I'm about get one that's about 10 weeks old. He's small, barely weighed enough to get neutered, so I'm super worried about what bone to give him.

so i have a 90 pound malamute mix and she chews up lamb trotters no problem. am i missing something about her not being able to eat these?

I have a dachshund and they eat the coarsest bones from moose and cattle without any major problems.

So how often? Once a month? Thanks

Any advice for a cat who doesn't like chewing and is fed primarily whole ground animals? I've tried giving him chicken necks and wings but he doesn't seem to enjoy eating organ parts separately, except for chicken hearts.

where to buy those??

My cat has to be on a vet approved urinary diet is it safe to supplement raw food with him?

I never worry about my dog having the resource guarding mood. My dog sees me as the Alpha so she knows I can take whatever I want from her. If your dog snaps at you for taking something away then you have no control over your dog and it lacks discipline.

if its only for tge teeth sure do it. But firs consult you vet for posible negative's

Do you have any tips for a dog that doesn't like to chew on large pieces. One of my dogs refuses to, unless I hold it. He's been like that since he was a puppy. And I mean just something in it's whole state, like chicken feet and necks. He's a medium size dog

How can I start with giving my dog raw bones? He does have sensitive stomach and eats cooked and kibble meals

Chicken necks from Tyson at the grocery is all i can find. Ist this ok?

Can half raw half kibble be done for dogs? I m still learning what's best for them and also in terms of price and convenience.

Yes I heard about this and I was using bones and I felt really good about this unfortunately my dog at age fifteen months already damaged her tooth on the bone and now she has a dead tooth😪

How about wing tips?

How about sterilizing ? Is there any way to kill bacteria like salmonella etc. ?

in terms of ribs... is it safe for dogs to eat/consume the bones in the ribs as well?

At 2:00 you gave that little dog a FULL rack of ribs....I'm guessing that was his meal for the day?!?

What about bacterial infection? Please respond to this question. Thanks 🙏

Where the hell do you find goose heads...😅

Don't feed your Frenchie necks. The first time I fed one a neck she choked bad and I had to do compressions in order to release it . Some breeds are just too small

So, you never brush your dog teeth anymore? You only use raw bones? . My senior dog build tartar and he sometimes eat cook and raw meal. Do i need to give this kind of bones like every 3 days per week or everyday?

Gave my dog a small cow's knuckle, holy shit, it cleaned a good majority of her tartar built up

Instead of feeding bones, are chunks and hard meat as effective as bones are with cleaning the teeth?

I heard deer antlers are also good for dogs teeth.

Weight bearing Bones? I am confused This channel is really high in my list. And Will still be But... I hear so insane many teeth break stories. Can you explain me so i can try to understand? :) I normally start screaming if somebody would tell they feed this 😂

Ewww NO, not asking the butcher for heads 🤢 Sorry little doggo I love you anyway

Raw jacked my dogs stomach all up. I transitioned him properly and everything vet bill was $4,000. Raw may work for some but not all sadly

The heads are scary!

Can my medium sized dog eat a chicken back?

are dry chicken feet as effective as raw chicken feet?

my dog dont want to eat any raw bones i offer him :X

If you can’t take the bone from your dog you don’t have a well trained dog and you should work on that instead of tricking the dog.

Why raw can cooked raw bones as well ?

Shouldn’t u get your dogs used to the act of taking their food away by hand ? You want them not to become aggressive so that if a child ever does come and take their food they won’t respond negatively?

what about raw chicken feet?

Will taking my dog for a dental cleaning still be necessary after feeding raw bones?

She won't chew it tho and also she doesn't have to jaw mussels ;-;

Can bones scratch dogs’ teeth?

I wish this worked for my dog; she just swallows everything whole :(

Don’t agree on the luring away with a higher value item. Just like encouraging anything else in training, you give a high value reward when they do it right. If a dog resource guards and you give a higher value reward, you are encouraging that behavior. It’s better to teach your dog an “out” command which is “move away from what you are engaged with or move out of where ever you are”. Lots of RU-vid videos how to teach it.

Don't give this to small dogs. My dog died a few days ago, because of chickens bones. I didn't wanted to give her, but she took from another dog, and died 2 or 3 days after. She bleed out. Stupid vet thought its virus, even though I told him, million times what happened, but he said it's 99% virus, and she died the next day. She was 3 and a half months old.

Dog should never have any kind of bone raw or cooked

the act of brushing dogs teeth is absurd to me. we have now moved onto cats. i have read the ingredients in these tooth paste and if you know what these ingredients are you'll dispose of the faster than a dirty diaper.

I don’t know about bones, but eating almost raw beef made my teeth feel so clean. Toothbrushes have nothing on raw steak.

Please be very careful with raw food diets as the animal fats will cause pancreatitis. Speak to your Vet before going this route don't just take anyone's advice

Animal cruelty !!!! How dare you feed these poor dogs and cats animals. They should be on a meat free diet !!! So cruel 😡😡😡😡😡 My dog is on a potato, pumpkin, cyanide and walnut diet and he’s fine without meat 🥩 🤮🤢. # stop feeding animals meat
