I have an old Mal that stays here (12) and she does fine with the recreational bones (as well as the RMB's).....her teeth are either bad or non-existent. It is difficult to tell others to go for it though, I would feel bad if something happened.
Kind of like watching a person with their false teeth out gumming lettuce...... (she is not that bad yet, but I do notice it taking her longer to eat so I may have to look at other foods for her pretty soon, she does get THK with her meals)
(I assist at the nursing home....yes, I see this every time I go up there to help and there is salad served)

If you are just using them for recreational bones, and they are not voracious chewers, but rather mellower gnawers, I would say it is okay.
I know it was directed towards Howard, but Kota is fairly mellow when it comes to bones. He scarfs ground meat, but pulls his bones out of the bowl and goes into his crate for some chewing time. I think I'm going to try them out and if he's too rough with them I'll give them to the foster dog.

Have the teeth been X-rayed? If so is there any cracking or is there just a piece of molar cusp missing, as if the molar had been worn down flat?
Nope, never had x-rays done. Two molars have been worn pretty well, but on one side it's like a layer (enamel) has been sliced off.

He does pretty well with all bones. He used to get cow leg bones quite often, before I realized they weren't the best for him. I was wondering how hard ribs are esp in pigs.
I've also noticed the tops of his front teeth and canines have been wearing down recently. I assume it's from the harder bones that he used to eat. Is this normal or just a sign of aging?
