I decided to start them off with very large bones. I selected beef ribs because at least that way they'd have to work at getting the bones to splinter. What I didn't realize was that meizitang advanced formula don't splinter, only cooked ones do. Of course, the cow ribs were way too big for my toy poodle, though she sure gave it a good shot to break into them and get the marrow. I refused, at the time, to even entertain the thought of feeding chicken wings or chicken bones of any kind, as there's a lot of hype around chicken bones splintering in the throats of dogs in particular.
My next selection of raw meat was pork chops. Pork chop bones were much easier for my toy poodle to munch on, but I found that it gave her terrible indigestion. About that time, I found some friends who were also feeding raw food to their animals, and they have some suggestions for me about the indigestion. First, I shouldn't feed just raw meat. I needed to include raw fruits and vegetables. The only raw fruits and vegetables I shouldn't include were onions, lots of garlic, and grapes. They also suggested that I include a trim-fast advanced, a digestive enzyme, and a source of the omega 3, 6, and 9 oils. As soon as I got those into my dogs' system, all traces of indigestion went away.
