Can My Dog Eat Ham Bones?

Caring for Your Dog

Share140Tweet0Pin It0

Maybe. Cooked bones can splinter and cause severe internal damage to dogs. Ham bones from table scraps are absolutely off-limits, along with any other cooked bones. Dogs’ strong stomach acid helps break bones down, and kill potential bacteria. However, raw bones pose potential risks, and should only be consumed under careful observation.

Symptoms to Look For

Dogs should only eat raw ham bones under supervision, on a surface that can easily be cleaned (like linoleum or tile). Watch for these symptoms, in case of infection or complications:

  • Vomiting
  • Fatigue
  • Bloody stool
  • Dental issues
