Vets are warning dog owners to stop giving their pets bones to chew over fears of major injuries to their canine friends. One Adelaide pet owner said she paid an $800 vet bill when a piece of bone got stuck in her dog, Mable’s, teeth. “She was chewing, throwing her head around I reached in to try and pull it out had no luck,” owner, Ellen said. Mable had to be sedated for the bone to be removed. Vet Dr Kimberley Landis said Mable was lucky the bone didn’t damage her gums.
Landis said small dogs were at greater risk of bone-related injuries compared to bigger breeds. “They just don’t trend to chew them as well as bigger dogs, so they tend to inhale them in one go, and then we see a lot more risks with them obstructing and causing bigger problems,” she said. Owners are advised to never give their dogs cooked bones because they can splinter and cause internal damage or intestinal obstruction. If they do provide them with raw bones, the dog should be supervised.
