Rib bones you’ll find in any supermarket. They are good for chewing, contain a little bit of meat, not much. They won’t crack a tooth and another good point is that they are very inexpensive at the grocery store as opposed to the frozen you’ll buy at the pet store. Always you’re assured that the ribs at the grocery store are for human consumption, not so with the dog ones. Anyway, that’s my reasoning. I would imagine that others would agree. And look for sales at the stores. You can buy a rack on sale and just split them up. If they appear to have a bit of fat on them, just trim the fat off.

Naturella. Once or twice a month in the winter for the meaty beef bone with marrow is ok. I would scoop out some of the marrow and throw it away. I am concerned at the small size of the bones you’re giving Bruno. Could be a possible choking hazard. Rule is always give bones larger than you think they can handle. Bigger is always better. Of course not giant size that he can handle it but I’m sure you know what I mean. Watch him chew on it for a while then you can put it in a baggy and refrigerate and give it back to him in a day or two. But do scoop some of the marrow out.
