Hi Cindy,
Unfortunately it sounds like you gave Bridger a processed bone, one that
has been cooked and smoked. They break easily because of their brittleness
and can cause problems in the stomach and intestines. I think it might be

Cindy,
Try hard sterilized hollow bones and Kong toys. These are meant to be
