chew bones

PLEASE, be very careful when giving marrow bones. Dogs can and have had their upper or lower jaws (lower mostly) stuck in the middle/marrow part and had to have the bone sawed off at a vets. It happened to my moms lab and to a friends mid-size mutt. Both dogs were OK but extremely stressed and upset (not to mention how my mom and my friend felt )

I never gave any of my dogs anything but raw bones or nylabones, tho these 2 little ones I have now were never really interested much in bones. Check at the meat department of your local grocery store - most will give you bones at no charge. The only bones I ever gave any of mine from meat I cooked at home, were ham bones. Ones of those kept them happy and busy for a long time.
