This week’s question is about marrow bones:

“Looking for advice and information on giving puppies bones. I've heard so much conflicting information about the benefits and risks, but I'm thoroughly confused.

• The relative risk for different dogs and breeds
• The factors you should take into account when deciding whether or not to give your dog a marrow bone.
