Bones for The American Pit Bull - Raw Not Cooked

By Nathaniel Rhine

The American Pit Bull loves nothing more than a meaty raw bone. Yes, raw bones. At one time I thought that dogs will enjoy any kind of bone. In actually fact, they love any kind of bone, but a responsible dog owner will know that not every bone is a good bone.

Raw bones are far better than cooked bones. The primary reason being that raw bones are harder and better for the teeth of your dog. Raw bones are better for cleaning the teeth of plaque that builds up over a period of time. We may not always brush our American Pit Bull’s teeth as we should, however, the raw bone is a great substitute.

Since the American Pit Bull is a very active breed, a good meaty raw bone is will serve as a means of venting that extra energy. They will chew on the sofa, shoes, books almost anything when they are not giving enough exercise. For temporary measures, give your American Pit Bull a raw bone. I am not suggesting that you should not exercise your dog. No. As a responsible American Pit Bull owner, you must exercise your dog daily. No excuses!

Getting back to the bone, cooked bones should be avoided like a plague. Cooked bones are brittle and may cause your dog to choke and worst, may cause internal bleeding due to punctured organs caused by the brittle bones! Brittle bones are sharp and may cause great damage to your dog.

The next time to you want to give your American Pit Bull left over chicken bones or turkey bones or whatever from your dinner table, think twice. No. Don’t even think about it. Just do not give your American Pit Bull cooked bones ever again.
