Nancy: with the big dogs - when they were pups I started with turkey necks, which they had for a couple of months. I buy knuckle bones for them now; I tried a lamb thick bone - and thank god I was there as my big boy on second firm chew broke it in half.
Razzle because of his facial furnishings just doesn't get bones at all. He used to until my breeder almost fainted when I said he was getting bones. lol ie due to facial hair damage. I use small bones that they have to extend their jaw fully to try to chew. In other words they can't get the "whole" bone in their mouth. Just a part of the bone.
I feed bones once per week. Razzle has a bone supplement added to his home cooked food.
