My local grocer has had many beef bones available lately and I'm tempted to buy some for Will.

Lucky you! They're hard for me to find at the grocery store. Only one specialty grocer has them on a reliable basis.

The best way to prepare a raw bone for a dog is to take it out of the package and "toss it uncooked for him to slobber on".

Chris is right, cooking it will only make it brittle and more likely to break.

Take it away after 30 minutes or so, wrap it and refrigerate it. You can give it to him everyday for several days before tossing it.

I highly recommend this approach, too. Poor Pip had it coming out both ends, when I gave him a bone and let me have it until he finished. I thought we had "worked up" to that, but no. No problems, after I went back to taking it away after 20-30 minutes.
