Meditation on a R.M.B.

I give my guys raw marrow bones. They always send Zeke into a 30-minute rapturous, meditative state. It takes him a few moments to hit his stride …
He needs to find just the right munch-point …
Then he settles in …
And thanks Dog for the bounty before him …
Sum adores them as well, but he doesn’t lapse into a trance-state like Zeke. He just gets down to bidness:
Raw beef marrow bones are a great treat. There’s a slight assumed risk (bacteria, bone splintering, tooth cracking), but in nearly 10 years of giving them we’ve never had an issue. Zeke and Sum get them outside (they’re too gross for indoor chewing), and after about an hour I take them away and toss them. Keep in mind I said “raw” … cooking marrow bones dries them out and all but guarantees splintering.
A few of my clients feed their dog 100% raw diets … how about you? Any “BARF” fans out there?
