Raw meaty bones (RMB)
Raw meaty bones (RMBs) are uncooked bones that still have meat attached to them. They provide both nutritional and dental benefits for dogs. They are an essential component of many raw feeding diets and are highly valued for their ability to offer natural sources of calcium, phosphorus, and other nutrients and for supporting oral hygiene through chewing.
Why we feed?
Raw meaty bones provide essential minerals like calcium and phosphorus, crucial for maintaining healthy bones, teeth, and muscles. Chewing raw meaty bones also supports dental health by naturally cleaning teeth, reducing plaque and tartar buildup, and promoting healthier gums. Beyond physical health, raw meaty bones fulfill a dog's instinct to chew, offering mental stimulation and relieving stress. Additionally, raw bones can aid digestion by helping to firm stools and support overall digestive health.
How to feed?
Matching the size of raw meaty bones (RMBs) to your dog's size and chewing habits is essential to prevent choking or swallowing hazards. Always feed bones raw, as cooked bones can splinter and pose a severe risk of internal injury. Supervision is crucial when your dog cheats RMBs to ensure they consume them safely and avoid potential accidents or complications.
