where do you get them?
The butchers? Or can you get them at pet shops? I've been to any that sell raw bones?

ok thanks.
and you need to freeze them or something before I give them to my dog right or is it already treated- having been at the butchers ( the meat having been treated)?

Meat isnt treated with anything other than chilling or freezing when you get it fresh from the butchers , you should be fine with it fresh , the carcas it came off may have already been frozen at some point , make sure they are knuckle end bones ask the buthcher to saw it smaller if too big then you could put the other bit in the freezer , dont be worried if it gets dirty a dogs stomach can cope with the bacteria .

Ok thanks that's really helpful.
Do you find that most butchers mind you asking or do they like to get rid of the bones

Even the butchers section of a supermarket will provide you with bones for your pets.

I found out by accident, I was buying meat for both the dog and cat when the butcher said he would get me some bones for them, done it ever since.

well my local butchers now anticipates such requests he bags the bones and leaves them in a large basket for anyone to come and take - but haven’t been to one yet that has minded the request.

Ok that's good.
