Choose RDBK Pork Femurs as an excellent recreational raw bone option for dogs.

  • Pork Femurs contain a knuckle that may be partially consumed and include variable amounts of meat, connective tissue, and generous amounts of marrow (fat).

Recreational raw bonesprovide minimal nutritional value to your pet's diet. However, the advantages of offering your pet these marrow bones as a natural chew are numerous:

  • Dental Health:Effectively cleans teeth and massages gums
  • Jaw Muscle Exercise:Helps exercise and strengthen the jaw muscles.
  • Mental Stimulation:Provides an engaging endorphin-releasing activity for mental stimulation.

Before you feed a recreational bone, please review the Safe Feeding and Handling Guidelines on this page and the label.   

How to Choose the Safest Raw Bones for Your Pet:

  • Know your pet’s history and chew style before offering bones. Take the RDBK bone quiz for a list of recommended bone options based on your pet’s size and chew style.
  • Always choose a bone larger than your pet’s mouth capacity.
  • Do not give Kangaroo Tails to aggressive chewers or gulpers.
  • If you are uncertain if bones are right for your pet, please reach out to our education team, a holistic nutritionist or a raw-supportive veterinarian.

Know the Potential Risks of Feeding Raw Bones to Your Pet:

  • Bone chewing may pose a risk to any pet, particularly for those with dental issues and/or gastrointestinal concerns/disease or those on low-fat diets.
  • Bone chewing may cause tooth fractures and/or GI upsets.
  • Note for gulpers: swallowing whole increases risks.
  • Feeding frozen bones increases the risk of choking, GI upset and tooth fractures. (All bones except Whole Sardines and Salmon Heads)
  • Not intended for human consumption.

Guidelines for Safely Feeding Raw Bones to Your Pet:

  • Always supervise your pet and remove the bone immediately if concerns arise.
  • DO NOT serve on an empty stomach when your pet is hungry.  This may increase the risk of gulping.
  • Proper chewing involves alternating sides using the entire mouth, including back molars. If safe to do so, hold one end of the bone offered to your pet to help them learn how to chew properly.
  • DO NOT COOK - NEVER FEED COOKED BONES
  • Keep frozen until ready to serve. 
  • Thaw bones completely in the fridge before serving (usually 6-12 hours in the fridge). This applies to all bones except Whole Sardines and Salmon heads - these can be fed partially frozen to more experienced chewers as a fun summer treat.
  • Refrigerate uneaten bones for up to 3 days. Discard bones after 1 hour if not in the fridge.
  • (Kangaroo Tails) Remove and discard when one or all of the following apply:
    • The majority of the meat, connective tissue and marrow have been consumed

    • Your pet reaches the brittle part of the bone

    • If cracks or splinters are noted

  • Wash hands and all surfaces with warm, soapy water after handling.
