Some dogs with previously colitis history may not tolorate raw bones well. Other options include natural products like vetz life which you can find on line or leba III. Check out CET products from 1800petmeds which are also helpful. I would check with your vet on introducing raw bones at this point.

Would introducing raw bones upset her system and cause another colitis attack. I am concerned with her teeth as regular brushing doesn't seem to totally control tartar.

I usually use chicken wings, etc. IF your pet has a medical condition then check with your veterinarian if ok to do. Learn more on line by googling BARF diet.
