myshem Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 hello, it seems hard to find beef bones for dogs, can you tell me where you find them ? Or maybe pork bones are not the best but they are acceptable raw for dogs ? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AhFarangJa Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 i would go and ask in the local wet market where you buy your meat, I am sure someone will get them for you for a price. On an aside, we live on a gated community and the security seem to have 'adopted' a local dog. Very quiet, well mannered, looks reasonably clean, ( but that is enough about the security )...... Anyway, last weekend we had roast leg of lamb from New Zealand, with the big bone in. (Makro 249 Baht a kilo !! ). I asked the wife to give the bone to security for the dog as it does a good job of keeping cats away from my gate. I have never seen such a contented animal for about three days as he lugged his new "Find" around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldrunner Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Try a relationship with a restaurant that specializes in pork ribs and/or steaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 As written in post #3, you have to look at the markets in the morning where the butchers sell beef products. You might have to ask and order (might need picture and/or dictionary). The butchers "slaughterhouses" are usually outside populated areas and a bit more difficult to find here in upcountry. Where do you live? Can't remember having seen significant amounts at supermarkets. Don't feed raw pork bones even if they are easy to find (Makro usually has plenty).

Umarosa Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 The Boucherie Jean-Pierre butcher shop has great bones for broth or dogs! You can get rib bones, or thigh bones. They will sell them whole, or saw them up for you! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Boucherie-Jaen-Pirre-ร้านเนื้อ-Hua-Hin/1479533575604492 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never ever give cooked, baked, fried bones to your dog. Arjen Sorry but it's wrong, the only really safe bones are beef, but yes my dog is still ok wit pork bones, until he is not...

Crossy Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 There's a lot of contradictory advice out there on feeding pork bones, some say ok, some say absolutely no. Apparently pork and chicken bones can splinter even when uncooked. I'm just trying to imagine our two chihuahuas with a beef leg bone ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Other goodies at the market today Tail and ear might be a good "toy" to chew on? What my wife buys has a lot of meat attached. I was too late to take a picture of the complete piece.\ But I think it's breastbone(?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dick dasterdly Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I buy NZ legs of lamb from Makro, and get them to slice it up for my dogs - so they get both meat and bone. Edit - Trying to find reasonably priced NZ sourced beef with bone, is very difficult, and normally far more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You buy NZ lamb & feed it to your dog ??? I guess you're a regular lottery winner ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably being neurotic about it, but I don't trust Thai meat to not be full of hormones etc. ☹️. Yes, NZ lamb is a lot more expensive than Thai meat - but minced NZ lamb and 'bone in leg' lamb is the cheapest alternative. IIRC, minced NZ lamb is around 300 bht per kilo, and bone in leg lamb is around 250 bht per kilo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure the 300 & 250 baht amounts aren't missing a zero ? You do say lamb... not mutton or camel. If I provide my own water bowl, blanket & prepared to sleep in your kennel, can I come live with you ? I trust you realise this is written tongue in cheek.....

No, the costs I quoted aren't missing a zero. Check out Makro NZ lamb prices on minced and 'bone in leg' prices. My dogs don't have a kennel, they sleep wherever they want both inside and outside the house - so sorry, no kennel available ????. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We must order them, and then a few days later we get a big bag full with mostly legs, but also ribs and spines. I keep[ them a few months in the freezer to kill worms. Anyway, I think your best bet is a local wet/fresh market. hello, does it really work to keep bones in the freezer to kill worms ? And how much do you pay bones ? Thank you.

I would be concerned for the same reason as humans should not eat raw pork (meat). A bone will have more or less of meat. Meat posing risk of having roundworms (nematodes). I know that raw minced pork must only be eaten if the meat had been deep frozen (-30C or so) before. Cooking the bone has the other risk. Bone might sliver/split. We stopped using pork bones at all.
