Safe raw bone chewing is all about choosing the right bones and knowing what to watch for. Now that we’ve covered why bones can help and which ones to avoid, here’s how to keep things safe, effective, and beneficial for your dog.

Safer Raw Meaty Bone Options
Softer, meatier bones are generally better for regular chewing and can help reduce plaque and tartar. Great options include poultry wings and necks, pork feet and tails, lamb bones, venison bones, beef ribs, and rabbit or small game pieces. Bones with plenty of meat and cartilage are gentler on teeth and encourage the slow, steady chewing that actually helps clean them.

Safety Tips
Choose a bone that’s appropriately sized for your dog — too small can be a choking hazard, too large can be difficult to manage. And never feed cooked bones. Cooking makes bones brittle and more likely to splinter, which can lead to serious injury.

Limitations to Keep in Mind
Raw bones can help clean the tooth surface, but they don’t reach below the gumline or prevent plaque from forming. Bones that are too hard can still fracture teeth, and some dogs may swallow pieces whole, which can cause choking or blockages. Always consider your dog’s age, health, and dental history when deciding what’s appropriate.

What to Watch For While Your Dog Chews
Supervise every chew session and remove the bone if you notice frantic biting, attempts to crack the bone with the back molars, visible blood, sudden avoidance, or signs of gum soreness.

Best Practices
Offer bones when your dog is calm, keep sessions short, choose size‑appropriate options, and discard bones once they become small, brittle, or cooked.

Used thoughtfully, raw meaty bones can be a helpful part of a dental care routine — supporting cleaner teeth, healthier gums, and a very happy chewer.

Day two of our raw meaty bones series — and this one’s important.
Raw bones can help reduce tartar, but some bones can actually put your dog’s teeth at risk.

❌ Bones to Avoid
These options are too hard or unsafe for most dogs:
• Weight‑bearing bones from large animals — extremely dense, high fracture risk
• Cooked or smoked bones — brittle and prone to splintering
• Antlers, hooves, horns — very hard and can crack teeth

🦷 Tooth Fracture Facts
Even raw bones that are too hard can cause damage.
Veterinary reports estimate 4–10% of dogs experience dental fractures from chewing overly hard items — especially the back molars.

Why This Matters
Bone choice and supervision aren’t optional. The right size, hardness, and chewing environment make all the difference.

Next up: the bones that are generally safer — plus what to watch for while your dog chews.

At Head to Tail Canine Nutrition, we emphasize evidence-based approaches to supporting your dog’s health — and dental care is no exception. Tartar buildup isn’t just about yellow teeth; it’s closely linked to gum disease, inflammation, and long-term wellness concerns. Research shows that raw meaty bones can play a meaningful role in reducing dental calculus when dogs chew them regularly. In one controlled study with adult Beagles, daily raw beef bones reduced tartar by 70–88% within just 12–20 days, thanks to the natural scraping action of chewing and the lower starch content typical of raw diets.

While raw bones clearly help remove existing calculus, it’s important to understand the nuance: current scientific evidence comparing raw diets to kibble for dental health is still limited. What we do know is that the chewing activity itself is the primary driver behind tartar reduction — not the diet as a whole.

This is why raw meaty bones can be a valuable tool in a dog’s dental routine, but they’re not a complete dental plan on their own. And because not all bones are safe, we’ll be diving into which types to avoid — and why — tomorrow.

Winter tried to steal the milk… but we outsmarted it 🐐❄️

Good news, friends: there is STILL goat milk in stock, and once it’s gone, that’s truly it until next season.

Back in November, I was able to secure the very last supply of the year, and I’m happy we still have some left for you. If you thought you missed out, consider this your second chance moment.

Why raw goat milk is such a glow-up treat for dogs and cats alike:
• Gently supports gut health with natural enzymes and beneficial probiotics
• Helps nourish skin and coat thanks to essential fatty acids and Omega-3s
• Easier to digest than cow’s milk and naturally hypoallergenic
• Supports immune function and overall vitality
• Resembles a pet’s own body fluids, making it highly bioavailable and comforting

Perfect as a topper, a frozen treat, or a soothing boost for sensitive tummies. Both dogs and cats benefit from this nutrient-rich goodness.

Once winter fully settles in, the goats stop milking, and this batch will be history.
No restocks.
No extensions.
Just what’s left on the shelf now.

January has a way of piling on the cold, so we wanted to help take a little pressure off where we can. To keep delivery more affordable during these snowy weeks, we’ve lowered next-day city delivery to just $6 for eligible Winnipeg deliveries all month long.

A few cozy details to keep in mind:

- Orders must be placed by 11:59 PM the day before to qualify
- Pickup window: 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
- Delivery completed by: 8:00 PM (before everyone turns into a burrito under a blanket)

Please note:
Same-day delivery is still available, but it does require advance notice and will be billed separately. Even sled dogs need a heads-up 🐕❄️

Thank you so much for your continued support. Every order means the world to us, especially during the coldest stretch of the year. Stay warm, hug your dogs, and let us handle the heavy lifting through the snow.

Warmly,
Donna Middleton
