Raw Meaty Bones are great for:

• Satisfying your pet’s natural desire to chew
• Exercising jaws, especially for puppies
• Helping to keep the teeth clean and stimulating the gums
• Providing an all-natural source of glucosamine for arthritis/joint pain
• Serving as a calcium source in your homemade diet
• Stretching your food budget without compromising quality nutrition

How to add Raw Meaty Bones to your pet’s feeding routine:

• Replace some of your pet’s normal daily diet with an equal amount of RMB, up to 50%
• Let your pet enjoy an occasional whole meal of RMB, perhaps once or twice a week.
• Keep the overall amount of food fed per day the same as always; just substitute some RMB for your usual kibble, homemade, or Aunt Jeni’s (or other ) pre-made raw diet.

Tips for feeding:

• ALWAYS supervise your pet, no matter how much experience you have with feeding bones!
• If your pet doesn’t know what to do with the RMB, try holding one end while encouraging her to chew on the other; be careful of your fingers! Try holding your end with a pair of pliers.
• For a small dog or a cat, you may want to chop the RMB into smaller pieces. Let puppies or kittens tackle oversized bones; they can’t choke, and they will have lots of fun!
• For older pets, the use of Digestive Aid (enzymes and/or probiotics) may be beneficial.
• Never cook RMBs! Cooking will make the bones splintery and dangerous. R stands for RAW

Do I have to feed RMB to my pet? I am nervous about the bones.

No, of course you don’t have to feed RMB if you are not comfortable doing so. But if you’re up to it, your pet will no doubt enjoy it! Remember, the consumption of RMB by dogs and cats is completely natural. Even if your large dog swallows a chicken neck whole, there is no cause for concern (it will digest ok). But still be sure you always supervise your pets while they are enjoying their RMBs!

Wow, my pet LOVES these RMB. Why can’t I just feed RMB and nothing else?

It’s tempting, but please don’t use RMB as the only food source for the long term. An occasional meal of all RMB is ok, but your pet needs other nutrients that don’t exist in a diet comprised solely of RMB. Also, excessive bone in the diet may lead to constipation. If this becomes an issue for your pet, try reducing the amount of RMB you use. Supplementing with some oil may ease the immediate situation.
