Raw bones for my dog?

I gave her the bone back again tonday and scooped the marrow out.
Thanks for the advice.

Don't give your dog hard, dried bones. My dog got very ill... vet
said he got splinters from bones in his intestines, that was the cause
of the illness. It was scary, thought he was a goner at one point, but
he recovered.

The issue is whether the bones are raw or cooked. Cooked bones
splinter, raw ones do not. Keep it natural. Have you ever seen
any animal, anywhere, anyplace on this planet cook its food?

There's this big biped animal, I see them everywhere, they do it all
the time. Most of the other animals don't cook because they can't
reach the stove.

Let's try this another way: How many animals have you seen that will
turn away from cooked food?

Arsenic is a naturally occurring chemical (appleseeds, anyone?), so is
cyanide (peach pits). Natural only tells you the source, it tells you
nothing about the safety or effectiveness of the item. Everything you
eat or touch was at some point in its process either mined or grown
from a natural source. I'll trust the ones that have had their
natural sources tested and refined in a controlled process, thank you,
whether that process is simply "pick, wash, eat" or "refine and
concentrate into a vitamin and put into pill form".

By the way, what's the big idea digging up items three years old to
reply to?
