“Comparing your dog to a wolf is old and tired rhetoric. Wolves have a short lifespan in the wild and do not eat an optimal diet. We do not know the mortality rate of wild wolves or other canid species that consume bone due to blockage or intestinal perforation.”

I feel the same way, and my gut tells me it (mortality rate in the wild) is probably high. As much as I want her to be happy, life is short enough without taking on unnecessary risk.

River is a huge part of my world and as much as I remind myself that she’s descendant from life long bone eaters, just the thought of something happening to her is difficult to deal with.

Especially if its avoidable. We live in a remote area with plenty of built in danger, things that can’t be controlled….to let something this trivial become another possible risk seems unwise presently. I’ll have to get deeper into this before making a decision, thank you everyone for the information and the quick replies!
