This is so confusing. I always thought you should only give them beef or pork bones that won't splinter. I read on the internet somewhere that the best bones are the ones that have knuckles, but I am not sure which cuts of meat that would be. The only one I can think of is the pork shoulder.

I tried to give her the little dog biscuits that the bank gave her, but she wouldn't have anything to do with them. She won't eat the dentabones that are supposed to clean their teeth either. I guess I will try putting them in her bowl. Maybe she would eat them then.

I also found out that giving her the tiny little dog food made for small dogs is probably what caused this problem. She needs large bites so that her teeth have to bite through them and naturally keep the teeth clean.
