You forgot to say that dogs can't COOKED Bones , but they eat RAW bones just fine. I feed my dogs raw meat with bones and they are healthier because of it!

I'm going to ask my vet about the bones. I thought raw bones were fine - yet think about the E-Coli etc potential. Perhaps it is just better to give our pets foods specifically designed for their digestive system. I'd be heart broken if my dog died because I gave him a bone.

Bones

Dogs and bones go together like chocolate and milk and peanut butter and jelly. Ask a child to draw a dog and it's a good bet she'll add a bone to the picture. Good dogs get big bones — that's just how it is. But as it turns out, bones can wreak havoc on a dog’s digestive system. The FDA advised owners to skip the bones when it comes to rewarding their dogs and wrote a great list of 10 reasons why it's a bad idea to give your dog a bone.  How does broken teeth, mouth injuries, bones stuck in the stomach, and severe bleeding from the rectum sound? bOW wow!
