Hello from me and Cooper.

Hi from me and mine - definitely no cooked bones.

If you want something for quick munching then things like ribs are good. If you want something that will take a bit longer, more of a gnawing bone, then raw beef marrow bones. I tend not to give these too often now as a previous dog wore his back teeth right down.

I know some on here give their dogs antlers instead - maybe someone could pop a link up for you?

Hi and welcome to the forum from Rocky and me

I would never give a dog cooked bones as they can splinter, raw would be best. The deer antlers are great too as in the links supplied by Crystal above
