Cindy We give our Berners raw "never cooked" beef bones for recreational chewing. When we have a beef butchered we have the butcher save us most all of the bones except the shank bones. The dogs love the rib, back, neck and knuckle bones and they do a great job of keeping the teeth clean which is a added benefit. You can get knuckle bones at most supermarkets. If we run out of bones we buy the rack of beef ribs when they are on sale.
We have a small freezer in the shop that is for bone storage and when I open that they are setting their waiting. But alas they have to wait till the bones are thawed out.
