"Natural" bones
Years ago, my aunts dog, Boston Terier, used to chew what looked like a
natural bone. One that was actual bone that was processed and filled with a marrow like material sometimes. I have seen them in the store and I am wondering how safe they are?. I don't know if they are the same as my aunt had 30 years ago. Any thoughts and comments are welcome. TIA S. Smith |

Smith If they are in the pet department and not refrigerated, they are either synthetic or processed in some way, and I don't think they are as good as raw bones. I have been able to purchase real, raw marrow bones at the local Food Lion for about $1/lb, and my dog Muttley loves to chew and lick the marrow out. He sometimes chews pieces of the bone itself, but it does not seem to splinter or cause any problems. If I buy the basted and cooked ones that are wrapped in plastic and not needing refrigeration, he will eat the entire bone in about an hour. So, for him, I think the raw marrow bones are best. But I have heard of some dogs breaking a tooth or having other problems, so I would advise checking with your vet, and watching your dog chew it. Paul and Muttley |

"Natural" bones
My dogs have always love these the only drawback is I've had two the them
break tips off their canines from chewing on these. I buy the longer sterilized bones this way they don't get that stinky smell. Even though they are sterilized the dogs still love to chew them. They last a long time but after they get thin on the ends it's best to throw them out because once they become thin they can splinter on the ends.
