Feeding marrow bones to raw-fed dogs and cats is a great way to support them physically and mentally, offering them the opportunity to chew as they would in the wild as well as benefit from a range of natural nutrients found in the marrow and bone themselves.
Can Dogs Eat Cooked Bones?
No. Dogs should never be given cooked bones. While it might seem harmless to share leftover bones from your dinner, cooking changes the structure of bones, making them brittle and dangerous.
Cooked bones can easily splinter, and those sharp fragments can cause serious harm to your dog, including:
Even small cooked bones — like chicken wings or lamb chop bones — are a risk. They should always be discarded safely where your dog can’t access them.
If you think your dog has eaten a cooked bone, it’s important to contact your vet immediately. They can advise on what signs to watch for and whether medical attention is required.
At Nurturing by Nature, we’re strong advocates of feeding raw bones only, as nature intended. Raw bones are safer because they’re more pliable, nutritionally rich, and better suited to a dog’s anatomy and digestive system.
More information can be found in our article, "How to introduce Bones in a Raw Diet."
When feeding a raw marrow bone, it is important to keep an eye on your dog and ensure that they aren't chewing for too long or to the point that they may cause damage to their teeth or gums. We recommend feeding marrow bones for around 20 minutes at a time – this is the perfect amount of time for your dog to enjoy chewing without them getting carried away and potentially harming themselves!

Marrow Bones: All raw bones, including marrow bones, are safe and beneficial for your dog. In the wild, there are no ovens, and despite domestication, dogs' natural food source remains raw. Their instinctual behavior for chewing and gnawing is still very much alive. Dogs' hinged jaws are specifically designed to chop and crush, making marrow bones a perfect and satisfying treat.

At Nurturing by Nature, we believe in harnessing the natural goodness of beef, including marrow bones, to elevate your dog's raw diet. Since 2004, we've been pioneers in the raw pet food industry, ensuring each ingredient meets our rigorous standards for quality and nutrition.
Why Beef and Marrow Bones? Beef isn't just a protein source—it's a powerhouse of essential nutrients tailored for your canine companion's optimal health. ???? Marrow bones, rich in healthy fats and nutrients, offer dental benefits and are a natural source of calcium and phosphorus.
Beyond Nutrition: Sustainability and Value Did you know? Beef offals, like the Ox heart—larger than life and brimming with nutritional benefits—are a sustainable choice. They provide excellent value, utilizing parts less favored in the human food chain while maximizing nutritional diversity for your pet. Marrow bones enhance the nutritional spectrum with their rich content.
Enhancing you pets raw pet food diet.
To further enhance your pet's experience, it's essential to look beyond just a single meal and embrace a broader, holistic approach to nutrition.
At Nurturing by Nature, we believe that a well-rounded diet for your dog or cat is achieved through balance over time. Rather than aiming for perfection in every bowl, we encourage pet owners to think of their pet's nutrition much like their own—varied, evolving, and built around a core of simplicity.
Start with a consistent, affordable base protein such as chicken, which forms the foundation of your pet’s daily nutrition. From there, gradually introduce other proteins and meal types, including raw meaty bones like the marrow bones we’ve discussed here, to enrich both their diet and mental well-being. This method mimics the natural diet your pets would enjoy in the wild, and ensures they receive all the nutrients they need for overall health.
Our approach not only supports optimal digestion and nutrient absorption but also keeps things sustainable for you. By rotating proteins and meal types, you provide your pet with variety, avoid food sensitivities, and maintain a cost-effective feeding routine.
Ultimately, the goal is to nurture your pet holistically, promoting long-term health and happiness through both nutritional balance and natural enrichment. At Nurturing by Nature, we’re here to help you create a diet that not only sustains but allows your pet to thrive—because when your pet thrives, so do you.
