Cooked rib bones (pork ribs are the worst) and steak boned are very, very bad. . imho. My sister fed Gonzo a cooked rib bone after we first got him, after I told her NOT TO. He seemed to eat it fine, but he couldn't go #2 for over a day and when he did there were chunks of bone in there. ew. We're just lucky the chunks didn't get lodged in his intestines. Needless to say, I beat up my sister after this, and Gonzo will never ever get cooked bones again

Seriously, I dont have too much advice on this otherwise. My vet knows a lot about animal nutrition and approves of BARF diets, but she advised me to never give Gonzo hard bones. He already has his large molar chipped, and if it cracked he'd have to get it pulled and stitched, which is a big deal. He has pretty weak teeth and doesn't seem to know how to properly chew a bone (he chews really hard with his back teeth, probably why he chipped one T_T) so it doesn't seem worth it to me. Maximus might love it. Large chicken bones probably are softer than beef knuckle bones, so that could work.
