  • <h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Dogs are supposed to chew on bones.

    It's a natural instinct for dogs to chew bones. Not only do T-bones taste good, the chewing action helps clean a dog's teeth by scraping away plaque and tartar. Chewing on a bone also keeps a dog from chewing other things, like your couch leg or your favorite pair of sneakers.

    On the Other: T-bones aren't safe for your dog.

    As a dog chews a T-bone, it can break or splinter into sharp pieces that can injure the dog's mouth and digestive tract. A round steak bone is less dangerous than a T-bone---but a rawhide or nylon dog bone is the safest choice.

    Bottom Line

    Toss your dog a rawhide instead. Though giving your dog the leftovers from your steak supper may seem like a natural thing to do, experts advise against it. Instead, treat your dog to a rawhide or synthetic bone that is the right size for your dog and his chewing habits. This will pacify his natural instinct to chew, and you can feel safe knowing it will not harm him.
