Best Bones For Cockapoos

Every Cockapoo owner knows their dog loves to chew on bones; however, you might also have heard that bones can be dangerous for dogs for various reasons.

As usual, with all good-intentioned information, there’s so much that contradicts itself. But from the Cockapoo owner’s perspective, it’s crucial to sort out what is and isn’t the best information.

In this article, we offer some helpful information about the best bones for Cockapoos.

Never Feed Cooked Bones To Your Cockapoo (Or Any Dog)

Dogs should not ingest cooked bones, even if they originate from table scraps. They’re prone to fracturing and splintering.

Dogs cannot digest cooked bones. The chance of them splintering and puncturing internal organs like the stomach and intestines is higher because of this. Getting out of the other end might be a real pain for the dog if the bones happen to make it all the way through.

There are other reasons not to feed your dog cooked bones, such as:

• Constipation
• Rectal bleeding
• Gastrointestinal blockages
• Peritonitis
• Mouth and tongue injury
• Broken teeth
• Esophageal injury

What Other Bones Shouldn’t You Feed Your Cockapoo

You should avoid frozen bones because they become exceptionally hard and will easily crack or break your dog’s teeth.

Numerous rawhide chews have had to be recalled over the last few years after coming into contact with chemical substances during the manufacturing process, causing illness in dogs. This is one reason why we don’t recommend them.

What Bones Can I Give My Cockapoo?

Even uncooked bones can be dangerous, but there should be few issues as long as you are cautious about how you give them to your dog. 

For safety reasons, it’s an excellent recommendation to provide a bone that is at least the size of your Cockapoo’s head. That way, the dog will not be able to swallow and choke on the bone.

It’s also a good idea to take the bone away once your dog has had a good chew on the bone. Don’t leave the bone with the dog.

Leg bones, for example, are ideal for dogs since they are circular and have bulges or lumps at the ends where the dog can get a good purchase on the bone. 

Dogs can easily crack open other bones when they bite down and are more likely to result in issues.

I don’t use chicken necks or wings; not only do they carry salmonella and E. coli, but they’re also too soft to be of any use anyway. 

I can’t stress enough why you should always supervise your dog when you give them bones. 

Dogs may get diarrhea or throw up when you first introduce them to bones, so they are probably having some allergic reaction, and you might be well-advised to avoid bones in this case.
