angie you will find beef or pork neck bones in ethnic markets, many butchers have them and grocery stores too. you can also give raw pig's or chicken feet. raw beef knucklebones are also a good bet, ask any butcher and most give them for free!

from the CFS-Canada - yahoogroups List:
Quote: Recreational bones - generally those that are sold under names such as "soup bones, "knuckle bones", or "marrow bones" - come from the leg bones of large ungulates like adult cows, bison, elk, moose, deer, etc. These are the weight-bearing bones of VERY large prey animals, and are extremely dense bones. They also, almost without fail, come seriously lacking in meat. What we end up with then is merely a recipe for disaster. The bones are so hard and dense in order to hold up such a massive animal, that they're frequent tooth breakers. I can speak for many folks who have dogs that have suffered in this regard - painful and expensive breaks, cracks, wear, slab fractures. Quote:

knuckle bones seem to have more cartledge and so are a bit softer then marrow bones. That said, I still don't feed him, as a percaution and because I don't need to as I always have beef neck bones on hand.

knucklebones are the safest of the lot, so to speak, even if they are still very hard they contain cartilege which is gentler on the teeth. but not all knucklebones are created equal and some dogs still chip and crack their teeth on them... it's a question of finding the right bone for the right dog

No such thing as a recreation bone when it comes to my Eskimo. From sweet - non food aggressive (with Mommy) go super Cujo in 2 seconds. Even his eyes changed. So cookies it is.

I only give the marrow bones supervised, and only until the meat on the outside is gone and the marrow has been extracted. Once I hear the first bone chip crunched the bones go out. I've been looking for knucklebones or chicken feet to give instead. Fingal's got a small chip off of one fang-I don't want them to crack a tooth.
