Produced by the DEFRA approved Devon manufacturer using ethically and locally sourced UK livestock, this single ingredient pack features 100% natural, human grade British alpaca bones. Sourced carefully from local farms, this select assortment of meaty cuts is packaged completely whole on the bone. It introduces a vital, primitive element into your raw feeding routine that actively promotes stellar dental hygiene, builds impressive upper body muscular strength, and provides an incredibly immersive psychological challenge that keeps your dog deeply engaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis single protein bone framework delivers an exceptional nutritional and structural profile that supports long term skeletal integrity and metabolic vitality. Alpaca represents an exceptional novel protein source, serving as an invaluable asset for owners managing dogs with severe food allergies, complex inflammatory conditions, or those undergoing strict elimination diets where standard proteins like chicken or beef trigger adverse reactions. The bones are beautifully surrounded by dense, ultra lean muscle meat which provides high quality protein alongside natural collagen and cartilage to nourish your dogs joints and enhance structural mobility. As your dog crunches through the ribs, neck, and spine, they ingest highly bioavailable natural forms of calcium and phosphorus, which are necessary for maintaining strong skeletal structures and regulating healthy cellular performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a pure raw bone product, this item is classified as a complementary raw feeding component. Unlike ground bone meal or fine processing powders, presenting whole skeletal structures like flexible ribs, sturdy vertebrae spine segments, and complex neck pieces encourages excellent functional chewing. This mechanical gnawing action behaves as a completely natural toothbrush, effectively scrubbing away soft plaque and hardened tartar accumulations from the teeth while giving the gums a healthy, stimulating massage. Furthermore, the sustained physical effort required to break down these meaty cuts releases natural endorphins in your dogs brain, lowering everyday stress, preventing boredom, and leaving them thoroughly content after their meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnimal Type: Domestic dogs and working dogs.

It should be factored directly into the 10% bone allocation of your dogs overall diet. Always balance these bone heavy feeding sessions by pairing them with boneless muscle meat and appropriate secreting organs across your weekly meal plans to ensure optimal nutrient transit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeeding Strategy: Serve straight from thawed. Simply open the 1kg pack and hand a select bone piece directly to your dog. It is highly recommended to feed raw bones on an easily cleanable surface, such as outdoors on the grass or on a large washable floor towel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrucial Safety Supervision: Always supervise your dog closely when they are consuming any raw bone item. Take time to observe their chewing style; do not allow aggressive gulpers or dogs unfamiliar with whole bone structures to attempt to swallow large pieces whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandling and Thawing: Store at 18°C and keep frozen until ready to use. Defrost the package inside a sealed container in the refrigerator overnight (approximately 10 to 12 hours) before serving. Never boil, bake, cook, or microwave this product. Cooking raw bone completely alters its cellular matrix, causing it to become brittle, dry, and highly prone to dangerous splintering which can damage your pets digestive tract.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStorage Advice: Once fully defrosted, keep the remaining bones stored in a sealed container in the base of the refrigerator and utilize within 48 hours to maintain ultimate freshness. Do not refreeze the bones once they have thawed out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSafe Handling: This is a raw livestock product and should be handled with standard hygiene rules. Wash hands, feeding areas, knives, and all prep surfaces thoroughly with warm, soapy water after your dog finishes chewing. Always ensure a bowl of fresh, clean drinking water is readily available.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trusty Pets","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54555772846414,"sku":"TDBAPRNS\/1","price":8.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/7105\/4670\/files\/AlpacaRibsNeckandSpine.png?v=1787829001","url":"https:\/\/trustypetsupplies.co.uk\/products\/the-dogs-butcher-raw-dog-food-alpaca-ribs-neck-spine-1kg","provider":"Trusty Pet Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
