Can giving my dog a chew bone daily cause health problems?

Question

is it okay to give dog chew bone that is 8 inches long every day which has high protein in it ? does eating 1 one bone everyday has any side affect on dogs health or any organ of his body ? Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | unneutered | 1 year old

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

I would not recommend giving this to Bruno every day. That's because too many treats will cause him to gain weight, which is not healthy. When dogs are overweight, they are at risk of diabetes, heart problems, and excess stress on the joints among other health issues. In addition, I am not a fan of bones for dogs, even uncooked ones. That's because they can break teeth when a dog is chewing on them, and can cause GI obstruction. If you would like to give Bruno a chew bone, I would make it a very rare treat to protect his health.
