Human grade Marrow bones

I lightly baked cow marrow bones to spread the marrow on toast for me. There is still the bone and good marrow left in them and I was wondering if anyone has given this to their dogs before without any adverse reaction?

They were in the oven from raw for 15min at 425° pet stores obviously carry marrow bones and my dogs have had them without an issue, but I don't know if they are cooked to a certain degree or treated in a way that mine aren't as they were for human consumption.

Human grade doesn't mean safe for humans to eat, human grade means that it's basically approved for humans to eat. As humans wouldn't eat marrow bones, you're not ever going to see one human grade.

The whole concept of human grade though is a marketing gimmick designed to separate you from your money. Remember, Kraft dinner and Doritos are human grade.

Thanks for the definition however I do love marrow and eat it regardless. It has health benefits and tastes divine. But the question is about how it will effect my dogs given the light cook time

It won't really. It's safe for dogs to consume and should be free of foodborne diseases.
