Bone marrow with kibble?

jasHans · 01-13-2013, 08:57 PM

Hi I'm a new user and I have a male gsd whos 6 and half months and 70 pounds some recommended that I mix lamb or chicken bone marrow with rice into his kibble because it'll make him alot bigger and make his coat really shiny. As anyone tried this or heard of it?

I would pass on giving bone marrow....it's very rich & could cause diarrhea. Give a good fish oil, well balanced diet & just let your pup grow. Big is not always good for these fast growing puppies...think healthy joints.

x2 on letting him grow naturally. bigger can be detrimental to your pups joints.
