(To feed it cooked, remove the bones completely, or pressure-cook until they crumble between your fingers.)

What kind of food is this?

How to serve
When feeding it bone-in, divide it into pieces that suit your dog's size and watch your dog while they eat. If your dog seems unable to swallow it properly, note how much they ate and when, and consult your regular veterinary clinic.
