Can dogs eat cooked bones?

Why

Dangerous. Cooked bones splinter and can perforate the gut. When bones are cooked, they become brittle and break into sharp shards that can puncture the mouth, throat, or intestines. These sharp fragments can cause severe internal bleeding, blockages, or require emergency surgery to remove.
