20 Foods That Could Send Your Dog to the Vet (#3 Is in Your Kitchen Right Now)

10. Cooked Bones

Cooked bones splinter into sharp, dangerous fragments.

They splinter into sharp pieces that can cut the mouth, get stuck in the throat, puncture the stomach, or tear up the intestines — a true emergency. This includes chicken, turkey, pork, and rib bones. Almost every vet agrees: keep cooked bones away. Bag them and take the trash outside. You are halfway through. The next one is for fans of the raw food trend.
