Can dogs eat gravy bones, and why?
Gravy bones are baked dog biscuit treats and are fine for dogs in moderation. Still a treat, so too many add calories and may upset the stomach.
Dogs are omnivores, so most of their diet should be a complete, balanced dog food, with treats on top. They cope with a wide range of foods, but rich, fatty or sugary ones can cause stomach upset and, over time, weight gain or pancreatitis.
