That's ok!

At first, I thought I was looking for a recreational type bone to, but since I don't feed raw to Sasha, I didn't want to screw up her eating habits. I just wanted a good raw type bone that she could chew on as a treat.

Do I need to get every last piece of fat off of the bone or is leaving a little on the outside ok? I just don't want her to chew on something that she shouldn't.

Leaving some fat is fine! You also could have left some meat on there... she would have loved it.

Ah thank you! I had a feeling after finding some online and looking at them closer that I should've left some on. At least I know for the others. 2 of them I cleaned the marrow out and cleaned the outside. The others I'll just take the marrow out and leave the rest. Thanks!

That IS a recreational bone

These large marrow bones are from the femur or a cow, and are load bearing, meaning they are VERY dense. Raw feeders call these bones WRECK bones instead of rec-reational bones as they will break teeth. I would never feed these huge bones. If you want the teeth cleaning and jaw benefit of bones, feed a chicken wing or cornish hen leg quarter (depending on the size of your dog.)

If you just want teeth cleaning benefit and chewing exercise, use bully sticks. MUCH MUCH safer for small dogs than these large teeth breaker bones.
