These risks include digestive upset, bacterial infections, and possible blockages or choking hazards from bone fragments. It's essential to keep a close eye on your dog for any signs of discomfort or illness. If you notice vomiting, diarrhea, or any behavioral changes, it's best to consult with a veterinarian promptly to ensure your dog's safety and well-being.
