Bones Are Unsafe

AWS- Bones are unsafe 1

Stop feeding bones to your dogs—they can cause serious harm and even death.

Recently, our hospital team performed an emergency procedure to remove a rotting oxtail bone from a Boxer’s infected throat. Despite our efforts, Chase sadly passed away.

“All bones, regardless of size, pose a danger to dogs,” said AWS SA Spokesman Allan Perrins.

Bones can cause broken teeth, injuries to the mouth or tongue, or become lodged in the esophagus or stomach, often requiring surgery. In severe cases, they can be fatal.
Please don’t risk your dog’s health—skip the bones. It’s simply not worth it.
