Its amazing isn't it Wendy, what they can digest! But if you think about it
dogs in the wild hunt in packs, and the lower down the alpha scale, just
grab anything they can, which is usually bones as they are the last to be
eaten, and just run off and swallow them in case another dog takes it. This
way, they survive, so I presume this is why their digestive systems are made
this way. Their stomachs for instance, are flat and in folds and the
surface is covered with excretion points for acid etc., so that when they
swallow something big, the stomach can extend enormously to cope with this,
as often they don't eat again for days or more. Dee

This new dog was chewing a bone I had given him - roughly a 10"
curved beef rib bone . I needed to put him in the house while I went and
got laundry as the workers were afraid of him and he hadn't been with us
long. When I reached for him, he thought I was trying to take his bone
and he inhaled the whole damn thing!!!!
rounded diet and they were all correct- his body broke the bone down. He
had absolutely no problems at all. In 3-4 months of feeding raw to him
he was a completely transformed dog, it really was incredible.
