This week’s question is about marrow bones:

“Looking for advice and information on giving puppies bones.  I've heard so much conflicting information about the benefits and risks, but I'm thoroughly confused. A dog dentist once told me not to give my dog anything to chew on that I couldn't dent with my thumbnail. Yet here I see hooves and raw meaty bones being offered. Thoughts?”

In this episode, I lay out:

  • The risk and benefits of giving your puppy or dog marrow bones
  • The relative risk for different dogs and breeds
  • The factors you should take into account when deciding whether or not to give your dog a marrow bone.
