A dog owner explains why they give their dogs raw bones like marrow bones and lamb necks, even though they don't feed a full raw diet. Raw bones clean teeth, firm stools, and relieve anal gland pressure. A butcher sells a marrow bone, extra marrow bone, and lamb neck for £4.46, cheaper than a pet shop's single bone at £4.50.

You will not believe how much I just paid for this. As you guys know, I don't feed my dogs raw food. I have nothing against raw. Stop typing. I can hear you typing already. Stop. I know you feed raw, and that's okay. You don't need to tell us about it. I just don't feed my dogs raw. But when it comes to giving my dogs a treat, something that can help clean their teeth or something to just encourage chewing, I do use raw goods. They're good for firming up dogs' poos, which actually helps relieve dogs' anal gland pressure. And they also don't have any additives like plastic. And turns out, very affordable. I usually go to the pet shop, but no longer, as one marrow bone at the pet shop would set me back £4.50. The butcher's though gave me a proper good bone. Wait. I got this and another marrow bone and lamb neck for £4.46. The shop might smell a little bit funny and you might not like seeing all that meat, but my dog loves it and so does my wallet.
