There are lots of toys made for puppy chewing and one can home bake tough cookies from their kibble that don't involve upsetting their usually delicate digestion or choking/intestinal blocking hazards that some chews do. I'd just be too worried about tummy upset and fluid loss to let a puppy chew the femur slice or anything otherwise hazardous but then I had a dog stop breathing, go limp and essentially die from swallowing a chewie knot that stuck in her throat which swelled around it and that makes you extra cautious. If I hadn't breathed for her right then and all the way driving with one hand to the vet, no doubt she'd have died from simple chewing.
