"Oftentimes, dogs enjoy chewing so much that they will overdo it and can cause dental trauma to the mouth." Bones, hooves and antlers are rigid and may lead to chipped or broken teeth, according to Dr.

Evans. Bones can splinter and pierce the dog's mouth or become a choking hazard.

Can bones hurt dogs teeth?

  • One of the biggest risks when giving the wrong types of bones to dogs are fractured teeth. The American Veterinary Dental College does not recommend giving cow hooves, dried natural bones or hard nylon products as these are very hard and can result in fractured teeth and damaged gums.

Many owners think meat bones are a safe, natural chew toy for pets; however, chewing on any hard material can fracture a tooth. Dogs love bones, and can become so focused on gnawing off every last bit of tissue that they fail to notice a cracked or broken tooth.
