Northwest Naturals Knuckle Bone
- $16.99
If your dog has never had a raw bone before, boy are they in for a real treat! Recreational bones are an excellent way for dogs to exercise their jaws, massage their gums and clean their teeth while consuming amino acids and essential fatty acids that promote good health.
Available in a 1-count package, with a minimum weight of 2 lbs. Knuckle bones are appropriate for medium to large sized dogs.
Product Details
Knuckle bones consist of joint tissue, meat and bone. They are softer than marrow bones, which are weight bearing bones (typically from the femur). They allow dogs to scrape their teeth into the bone, which helps to clean food and tartar from their teeth. The meat tissue that is typically left on the bones encourages nibbling and pulling with the front teeth.
- Sourced & made in the USA
- Sourced from grass-fed beef
- Antibiotic and hormone-free
- Excellent source of calcium, phosphorus, and healthy fats
- Provides great mental stimulation for dogs
When your dog chews on a raw recreational bone, especially a meaty one with soft tissue still attached, his teeth get the equivalent of a good brushing and flossing. This helps to break down tartar and reduces the risk of gum disease.
Recreational bones are NOT to be completely consumed and should always be fed under your supervision.

Feeding
Ease your dog into raw knuckle bones gradually. If he's never had raw meat or marrow bones before, take 3-4 days to slowly get your dog used to this higher fat treat to avoid potential tummy upset. Only let him chew on the bone for 10-15 minutes at a time, then pop it back in the freezer.
Tips for feeding raw bones:
- ALWAYS supervise dogs when you've given them raw bones.
- Never cook raw bones; cooked bones splinter and are dangerous.
- Raw bones are sold frozen. When they thaw and your dog chews on them, they can get pretty messy. Give your dog bones outside, in a crate, or on a tile floor - anywhere clean-up is easy. Definitely don't feed raw bones on carpet!
- Bigger is better when it comes to bones. Your dog should never be able to put the entire bone in his mouth. Bones that are too small can be choking hazards and cause significant damage to your dog's teeth. If your dog breaks off pieces of raw bone, toss it out.
- Dogs that are aggressive chewers can chip or fracture their teeth on raw bones. Use with caution.
