Handling and Feeding Tips
Feed on an easy-to-clean surface or outdoors - marrow can be greasy. Store in a cool, dry place and discard once the outer shell wears down to a swallowable size.
What to Watch Out For
As with all bones, supervision is essential. Take away any pieces small enough to swallow whole. Not suitable for dogs with a history of pancreatitis due to bone marrow fat content. Source from reputable suppliers to ensure correct drying and no contamination.
Best For
Dogs with food sensitivities or allergies to common proteins. Dogs on novel protein diets. Medium and large adult dogs.
