Cooked bones can splinter, raw bones are better. I wouldn't give mine any of the cooked bones you see in pet shops, a lot of them are deep fried and rammed full of preservatives. Best bet is a good knuckle bone for something to chew for a while. I used to confiscate them off my two after about half an hour, and pop them back in the freezer, others don't they just leave their dogs with them. I found with my two if they ate a whole bone they kept pooping all through the night, hence the confiscate after half an hour
