I go to my local abattoirs and get some fresh pig bones [normally legs I believe]. I normally clean them up with a good knife first and give him the scrapings first, he then gets the full bone. NEVER feed any cooked bones because they could splinter and cause serious internal problems. Uncooked fresh bones are very soft in comparison, and will not cause such damage. I think your vet meant never give your dog a cooked bone.
BTW - once the bone gets small, I normally take it away from him and give him a new one just incase he choked on it.
Vizzy - I think the latest ones are in my gallery here:-
