I generally find that pork rib bones are very hard. A lot depends on how your dog eats bones. Some take a couple of crunches and try to swallow lumps, which doesn't do them any good at all. If you have a dog that takes its time, and is left in peace and quiet to chew up a bone, then fine, though constantly chewing on any hard bone does increase the risk of broken teeth. It also depends on how old the animal was when it was killed. I find that even lamb vertebrae ( adult sheep not a young lamb) can be very hard indeed, so I prefer to stick to lamb rib bones which are not as hard as pork bones in my experience.
