Ok, so Shadow has always had beautiful teeth, not quite sure why but she sure has been blessed in that department.
The paps teeth looks great too, but they're still young. Considering the horrible breeding they came from, I want to make sure that their teeth stay that way. I searched some old threads and came up with the solution to give them raw chicken wings. I still have some questions though.
1. Will eating a wing a week be enough? They weigh 5lbs. and 7.5lbs. I'm guessing it will be enough since their teeth are in good condition.
2. Shadow weighs 45lbs. One wing a week probably won't be enough for her will it? I was thinking maybe a beef rib for her?
3. Will the wing even do any good for their teeth if they eat it quickly without much chewing?
I must note that the first and only time I ever gave Holly a raw bone, was a pork rib. She ended up chewing off a piece of the bone and swallowing in whole, and hen getting it stuck in her intestinal tract. The vet was baffled, first time she had ever seen a dog do that with a raw bone. So, I am a little nervous to give anything larger than a chicken wing to the paps, but reassurance would be appreciated.
4. After giving them their first wing, should I expect any changes in their stool?
5. They day I give the wing, should their kibble be decreased? I was thinking their usual kibble breakfast and then the wing at around 11pm, which is dinner time, so wing instead of kibble dinner basically.
I don't want to feed them raw, I simply cannot do that at this point in time. I apologize for any ignorance, on this subject, I am just trying my hardest to make sure these dogs stay as healthy as possible. I also apologize if it seems I am looking too much into giving them a RMB or if it seems I'm not looking into it enough.
