1. Frozen marrow bones for dogs
Definition
Usually these are marrow bones (usually from cow legs) that have just been cut up into 4-8 inch sections and shipped frozen to your doorstep.
These bones are as pure as you can get other than a little cleaning during the butchering process.
They are available in two different cuts- pipe cut and half cut.
Pipe cuts have a circular shape with sausage-shaped bones – the marrow is visible on either end.
Marrow bones that have been cut in half lengthwise are half-cut marrow bones. The bone is semicircular in shape and the marrow is visible along its entire length.
Pros
No preservatives or additives
Bulk purchases
Bones would not explode
Feeding them is a great idea
Cons
The additional freezer must be purchased and there must be space for it.
Delivery charges
What happens if your dog stops liking them?

Pros

You can find them at your local butcher or meat market

3. Organic marrow for dogs
Definition
There are few organic marrow bones to be found so this is a bit of a vague term.
There is a belief that “grass-fed” refers to cows raised in a healthier and kinder environment than the majority of cattle.
Those are the foods for you if you like organic food and you want the same for your dog.
You can also choose to support farms that raise their cattle in an environmentally friendly manner.
Pros
The product is very pure
Ethics are of the highest standard
Cons
Expensive
A time limit on freshness
Where to store them?

4. Bone marrow broth for dogs
Definition
A bone marrow broth is made by simmering bones in water and apple cider vinegar for hours on end.
You can make it at home if you buy marrow bones and you have a slow cooker but you can also buy packs of it online.
Pros
Minerals and vitamins packed into every bite
Suitable for very fussy eaters
Cons
Because it can be made at home if you buy it in packs it is more expensive

5. Roasted Marrow Bones
Definition
A roasted marrow bone is a raw and fresh marrow bone that has been roasted slowly.
Pros
Since they do not go bad as quickly as raw marrow bones they’re easy to store
Cons
Experts recommend that dog owners do not give their dogs cooked bones because cooked bones splinter more easily than raw or frozen bones.
As a result your dogs throat or stomach can become cut by these bone splinters.
6. Filled marrow bones
Definition
Filleted marrow bones are marrow bones that have been chemically cleaned and their marrow emptied.
You can substitute all kinds of meat substitutes or peanut butter in place of the marrow.
To me filled marrow bones are fast food for dogs.
Pros
Affordable
Because they do not spoil they’re easy to store
Easily refillable
Cons
Preservatives and additives in abundance
As these marrow bones are not fresh they tend to be much harder making them more dangerous for dogs than fresh or frozen marrow bones.
7. Marrow Bone Dog treats
Definition
Bone-shaped dog treats are available for purchase and sold by the truckload which I would assume are marrow bone dog treats.
These bones are completely different from the other types of marrow bones mentioned above and they are used in a completely different manner.
Pros
Affordable
Easily stored
Bulk purchases
Cons
Nothing to chew on
No bone marrow
