What is the difference between marrow bone and rib bone?

I have a boston terrier who is into a chewing stage.. I was told not to give rib bone cuz it might choke on the rib and marrow bone is best cuz of its toughness. I often cook steak on the grill (Tbone, sirlon, etc).. is it safe to give bone after I finish with my steak?
Answers:
Marrow is the substance INSIDE the bone - not a bone itself. Cooked bones become brittle and can splinter - that's the danger. No bones. If you MUST - use only raw bones. But hey, how about some safe toys and a bunch of love and attention!!! Your puppy is just teething. Try some ice cubes in the water dish. It's soothing (like a babies teething ring), fun and easy to wipe up. Good luck and enjoy your dog.!!!
no do not give cooked bones. the can splinter and hurt the dog on the inside. only give raw bones or smoked bones from a butcher.
It's matter's mostly about the size.
2 inches=fine
3 inches=supervise pet
50,000000 yards= crocidile diet!!!!
Marrow bones refers to the cut sliced horizontally across the leg bone from a cow, usually about 3 " long go to the butcher or grocery store to ask for, put in the freezer first to help kill bacteria , thaw in the fridge and serve as is, knuckle ends are good as well they are the ends of the leg bones, the dogs really enjoy chewing the soft cartiledge on the ends
