..depends on the dog and how he handles bones.For a dog that happily gnaws at the thing and just strips the remaining meat and tissue off its fine. But I've had dogs come in that gnawed the whole thing up and ended up constipated with tiny shards of sharp bone making it too painful to defaecate and being anaesthatised for manual removal. Or dogs like my Dally- give him a bone and he'll spend hours terribly distressed burying it, digging it up again to check on it - look for another place to hide it.. until his nose is bleeding and his feet are raw - constantly running to the windows to check for intruders... It was funny to watch the first time until one saw the state he gets into. Now if he finds a bone anywhere it's important to tactfully remove it for his safety
I would have offered it, but mine has been fed raw so would have a clue what to do with it You could also make yourself some lamb stock with the bones?
