No. Turkey bones are very dangerous for dogs, especially for smaller breeds. Poultry bones, when cooked, become brittle and break into small, sharp splinters when chewed. Having said that, turkey bones can cause the following injuries: choking, obstruction of the throat or intestinal tract, constipation, tearing of the stomach caused by sharp bone pieces, and rectal bleeding from sharp shards of bones.
Although turkey is a good source of protein needed by your dog, especially a growing puppy, don’t include bones in his meal. It’s possible that your dog has eaten turkey bones in the past, but nothing has happened, so you give your dog the bones every time you eat turkey. Stop. Don’t take chances anymore.
There may come a time when your dog will be injured by eating turkey bones. If your dog accidentally eats a turkey bone, look for signs of discomfort and see if there are traces of blood in their poop.
It is likely that the bones have become trapped in your dog’s stomach, prompting surgery. So, to avoid this from happening, keep turkey bones hidden from your puppy, or if you can’t resist spoiling them with bones, raw turkey bones are fine.
To ensure your pet will live a long and healthy life, it is always a good idea to invest in pet health insurance. Preparing for the unexpected guarantees money is never an issue in keeping you pup healthy.
