<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000>It depends on the raw bone. You
didn't say what kind you tried. If they were the kind of knuckle bone or
white bones in pet stores I can understand your dogs reaction.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000>The best bones my dogs like are beef
ribs. I get a whole slab and slice between each bone. Then just give
it to the dogs. They love to rip the meat off and then spend a good amount
of time gnawing the bone down. I usually take the bone away once
they start to splinter. But usually by that point the dogs have
walked away from it anyway.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000>I feed the dogs in their crate so no one
decides the other dogs have a better one then theirs.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000>Dogs know what is good eaten. Or
try a whole chicken leg.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000>The recreational bones sold in pet
stores, I feel, are too hard and the dogs don't like them anyway. I never
give them the big knuckle bones, either. Too hard (I hate the sound of
tooth on those bones) and also too greasy.</FONT></DIV>
