And the dogs don't break them? Just my luck we would end up at the ER vets!!!
Marrow Bone Comas
I went to the butcher today and he sold me 6 nice size marrow bones for 4 bucks!!! I walked in and got semi-assaulted as they smelled the goodies in the bag. Forget putting them away for another day, they had to have one NOW!
Each Lab takes their bone and runs off to a different part of the house. Ruby does this celebratory strut before she goes off to hunker down with her bone.
After 2 hours of total peace and quiet, they are now in a marrow bone coma.... eyes rolled back, tongues hangin' out and unable to move let alone go out. Marrow bones must equate to doggy margaritas.

my dogs love the marrow bones too. I prefer them to chew in their crates or outside because of the mess.
We have used them for years and Aidan my yellow boy is a power chewer and has never broken one or chipped anything off it. They will clean it down to pure white, empty inside. Ruby likes to drag hers outside when they're finished and hide them lol
They have never choked either....as long as it is at least 3-4 inches long, they wont attempt to swallow it. Mine eat Pro Plan and salmon once a week and the bones have never upset their stomachs.
Try it! Your dog will love you for it.

When they get to the coma state, Judy grabs every one else's and has four bones around her, marrow in all of them, long gone.
I can't understand how anyone with labs can be grossed out about anything. I have seen my dogs:
eat cat poop
vomit then eat it
eat someone elses vomit
swallow a live chipmunk whole
roll in dead, decaying anything
roll in wild animal poop
eat live new born bunnies
eat garbage
And I still kiss them and sleep with them. I'm immune to gross.

Haha, I'm immune to gross most of the time, including most of the things you mentioned above, but I'm really mental about eating animal products that look still look like animals, haha. I never eat meat off of a bone, never eat steak.When they get to the coma state, Judy grabs every one else's and has four bones around her, marrow in all of them, long gone.

Just adding my word of caution... it was a marrow bone that fractured Henry's two big upper premolars, one of which has already been extracted, and the other is coming out next week.
ok..that re-defines " power chewer" wow!
I just got my guys some femur marrow bones yesterday for the first time. At first they didn't know what to do with them, and stared at them, mulled them around , but finally got down to work and loved them! Question - I took mine away after about a half hour - do you store them in the fridge and how long do they last there - or do you put them in the freezer?
