All ....
Have had an interesting discussion on an Australian forum regarding the benefits and dangers of feeding frozen meat and bones - particularly in the form of frozen rabbits - to dogs.
The pro argument is that the tough chewing and the varied composition of frozen small game is excellent for keeping dog's teeth clean.
The anti argument is based around the claim that frozen bones splinter to sharp ends more readily and cause punctured guts and similar issues.
Having fed frozen bunnies for years - on and off - to dogs without apparent problems, I'm sceptical that there is any significant risk in the practice. However, since I have available here a pool of knowledge including people who live in far colder climates and for whom feeding frozen stuff is probably standard practice, I thought I'd ask for your thoughts.
Thankyou...... Peter
