My yang Shtzu is scratching, chewing, itching like crazy each time I give her beef bones to play with. ?

I boil them for long time, no salt. She loves the gelatin like texture of the meat and also it keeps her busy for long time. Could she be allergic to it? Obviously I no longer give her these bones bud I worry if maybe beef bothers her? I can't believe how much is she itching. I have hair everywhere.

It could be an allergy. How long has it been since she had a beef bone and has the itching stopped? If it has been a few days and she is still itching, then I would recommend to see a vet. She could be getting hot spots which my dog gets all the time!
Dogs should never be given any cooked bones, or any chicken bones. They can splinter and cause a lot of problems. Give raw bones.

Scratching, chewing and itching sound more like fleas, the symptoms of which just happen to coincide with the bones. So stop cooking the bones, and check your dog for fleas.

Also, it could be an allergy to the meat. If it is, give a different meat bone, but not chicken bones, as they are very weak and can splinter like cooked bones.My yang Shtzu is scratching, chewing, itching like crazy each time I give her beef bones to play with. ?
Of course, if itching continues, check with your vet. Try a little bit of benedryl. Call vet and he will prescribe dosage. Feed chicken breasts, boiled in unseasoned water with rice until her outbreak subsides. Chicken breasts are digested easily and no harm usually form chicken. Again, if it continues, call vet! Hope she feels better soon.
I am going to start with a guess that a yang Shtzu is maybe a made-up breed of dog? Cooked bones of any kind are bad for dogs. Give raw bones only. And yes the dog could be allergic to beef in which case raw chicken necks might be a better solution.
kill it.
