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.
Important: Never feed cooked bones to your dog or cat. Cooked bones can become brittle, causing damage and complications internally during digestion. If you ever think your pet may have ingested a cooked bone, call your vet straight away, and they will be able to advise. More information can be found in our article, "How to introduce Bones in a Raw Diet."
Feed under supervision
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!

More benefits of introducing marrow bones into your pet's diet
When it comes to enriching your pet's diet with wholesome nutrients, incorporating marrow bones into their feeding regimen is a quintessential aspect of the raw pet food philosophy.
Marrow bones are a staple in raw pet food diets, not only providing recreational enjoyment but also offering a host of health benefits. They are densely packed with minerals like calcium and phosphorous, essential for strong bone and teeth development, while the marrow itself is a valuable source of healthy fats and fat-soluble vitamins.
Integrating marrow bones from our raw pet food range ensures that your pets are getting a well-rounded diet that mimics their natural eating habits, leading to improved digestion, a shinier coat, and heightened overall vitality. As part of a balanced raw pet food diet, these bones can help maintain your pet's health from the inside out, delivering nutrition as nature intended.
How To Reuse Marrow Bones
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.
If you have any questions or would like help tailoring your pet's diet, don't hesitate to contact our expert team for personalised advice.
