    Maybe he just doesn't like them? Dogs have preference too

    Jamie doesn't like knuckle/soup bones, either.

    Gonzo & Fozzie both go nuts over knuckle bones, I couldn't imagine them not! Maybe it's just a shock? Have you ever fed him raw before? Imagine you eating processed foods all of your life (not offending kibble-feeders, as I do too, but it's true.), say McDonald's, and one day being offered a big garden salad? It would take time for both your taste buds and your tummy to adjust. If I were you, I'd put it back in the fridge/freezer and offer it to him in the morning before he has eaten. Maybe smear a little bit of peanut butter on it to entice him to at least try it. =0)

    Also, OMGz knuckle bones are the best! They can seriously erase years of tartar in a 15-minute session. Just be sure he's chewing well (if he ends up liking it) and take it away after 10-15 minutes. You can put it in the freezer and save it for another time.

    Oh... knuckle bones and soup bones are the same. =) At most grocery stores, in the beef section, or ask the butcher.

    Thanks for the tips Bckrazy I will try the peanut butter. right now it is in the fridge. I took it out yesterday and all he wanted to do was carry it around LOL but thats an improvement over not being interested in it at all.

    K9Krazee, you have to keep an eye open for them in the beef section of the grocery store if there is no butcher. LOL we walked right by them even though we were looking. We asked an employee and he had no idea but a man overheard us and said he just saw some and directed us to the right place. We got two for only a couple bucks.
