The calcium of eggshells also provide trace minerals not found in a OTC calcium suppl. The 1/2tsp. per pound of fresh food w/o bone is recommended to balance the phos. found in the meat...

I think before you sub in egg shells, or any calcium supplement, you should look up the nutritional values in the bone vs the egg shell. I just don't think the egg shell is an equivalent trade for bone.

I would look at the reason the bones get caught in the first place....if they are highly dense red meat bones and the dog won't eat chicken, try lamb, turkey necks. I agree with the grinder, but a dog, IMO should be able to chew up softer bones with no problems(excluding a senior with dental issues)
I just got a Tasin grinder for Christmas and will only use it for grinding up nasty tongues! I hate touching them and they are not fun to chunk up/too rubbery. |

We have the Tasin also. It does turkey necks, duck and chicken necks just fine. The turkey had to be cut up a bit more than the others. I think it would do chicken quarters or other poultry bones with no problem as well.
I just chunk up the tongues. lol But I do have to grind the tripe which is no fun.
