Mmmmm they've had a lot of experience living round here
I think he would LOVE raw meaty edible bones! But I don't want them in my living room and definitely not on the sofa... I did think about maybe getting bones that he could chew in the garden when the weather is better, though again I am a bit unsure of which are safest to give him. There is a lot of conflicting advice.
This is a bowl Rory
got hold of
got hold ofAvoid weight bearing bones of large animals, which can crack a tooth. Edible bones include all chicken bones (feet, carcass, legs), venison necks, ostrich wingtips and tails, pork shoulder blades, ribs. Best to join a group that can advise you, or find a vet that supports raw feeding and who can help you.

I wanted to edit it to say, “Join a local group”. I almost recommended my local group, but realised there is no point!To be honest you can get all sorts of animal parts in the UK.

Not seen any of them parts for ages, maybe covid is more of a worry than the police.

We use liquid for Maxx's Kong's. We either cook up a big batch of carrots with a bit of honey in the water, put them in a blender with some of the cooking water and then pour the liquid into empty plastic bottles and have one bottle going in the fridge and the rest in the freezer. We put some peanut butter on the little hole in the Kong, freeze that then pour the cooled carrot juice into the Kong and freeze. No mess! Well, if they tip over in the freezer it goes everywhere but I put them in the door of the freezer, propped up by other frozen goods.
Another version is banana and water in the blender and, for times when we are going out, we cook a bit of chicken, put that and the cooking liquid into the blender for an extra special one.
We would go stark staring mad every day without Kongs. Maxx is very demanding of our attention and has the loudest bark I've ever heard. My husband has a crook ear and he can't stand the barking. A quick Kong out of the freezer and voila! Low calorie too.
We use a toddler spoon to smush soft things into our Kongs. It fits perfectly. We usually fill them with a mix of soaked kibble, cooked food and natural yoghurt. Now we just need to make sure we don't mix up the Kong spoon and the actual toddler's spoon! Sometimes I also use a chunk of carrot as a topper and use it to push the filling in as well.
Also, dried beef or venison ears are a great chew for Chewie. He doesn't chew much at all (lol) and with our setup at home he can't have raw meaty bones. They last a good 15-20 mins and aren't too gross. Beef or venison are a less fatty choice than pig.

The site I use is www.natural-treats.co.uk. look at the wholesale too the have everything and the prices are good. The delivery is good too.
Thank you! It's properly nose-to-tail isn't it?! Some pretty gristly bits (literally!). But really good prices and the dogs will be in heaven.
The Millie's whistleblowers arrived... 
they are enormous! I have no idea how to use them. @SwampDonkey and @Beanwood should I just give them to the dogs for half an hour or so at a time? How quickly will they eat them? They look gruesome, will they be ok to give them in the living room? Brodie will be very happy! Jess might not know what to do with them either!
