When it comes to finding the perfect long-lasting chew for your dog, natural beef bones are always a top-tier choice. But not all bones are created equal—especially when comparing beef shin bones to femur bones. At Pet O’Clock, we know how important it is to choose a chew that supports your dog’s health, chewing habits, and happiness.
So, which is better for your pup: beef shin bones or femur bones? Let’s break it down.
What’s the Difference?
Beef Femur Bones
-
Dense, weight-bearing bones from the upper leg
-
Typically filled with rich marrow, which dogs love
