Puppy Culture Potluck: Ep19 - Marrow Bones: Are they Safe to Give to Your Dog?

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?”

• 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.
