How long does it take for a dog to digest bones?

The time it takes for a dog to digest bones depends on the hardness and size of the bones, as well as their shape. It is generally not advisable to feed dogs bones, as they can cause harm.

Bones that are too hard or irregular in shape can injure the dog's intestines.

For example, large cow bones with irregular shapes may scratch the intestinal walls, while excessively hard bones can cause intestinal obstructions. Chicken bones can puncture the intestinal wall, leading to bloody stools, secondary gastrointestinal infections, and even death. Therefore, it is unsafe to feed dogs any bones, even those that have been boiled for a long time.

Important considerations:

If a dog eats bones, it is essential to consult a veterinarian immediately to check for obstructions before the condition worsens.
