Can Puppies Have Marrow Bone?

Bones must always be raw.
Avoid large marrow bones, T-bones, 'chop' bones (e.g. lamb cutlets), large knuckle bones or bones sawn lengthwise as dogs may crack their teeth on these. You should always supervise your puppy when they are eating raw bones.

Are bone marrow bones good for puppies?

What bones are safe for puppies?

Most raw bones that have not been cooked are edible for dogs. Raw chicken, turkey, lamb, or beef bones are soft enough to chew, eat, and digest. That said, with all bones, there is a risk of choking if your dog swallows without thoroughly chewing, and bones that are too hard can cause damage to the teeth.
