FIL got my dogs pork femurs for Christmas but hesitant to give it to them

@nursedi71 Gave my dog pork shoulder once. He liqui-shit tiny bone shards for two days. No internal damage but I'll pass on that.

@nursedi71 I wouldn't, bones can shatter or break their teeth

@nursedi71 I’ve heard that pork bones are more likely to splinter than beef bones.

@nursedi71 Throw them away. I would not run the risk of even feeding something like this once (for context, my dogs are fresh fed and eat bones several times a week).

Weight bearing bones like femurs are too hard and can cause tooth fractures.

Dehydrated bones are more likely to splinter.

Bones should always be fed raw, never be from a weight bearing part of the animal and be of an appropriate size for the dog and their chewing style.
