Salmon dinner stuffed bones are really a 2 for 1 snack, perfect for a long holiday weekend! Last year I did some grilling of burgers, specially made for dogs. They were super tasty. This year I wanted something for a rainy day as they say Monday will be quite wet around here.
The ingredients for these tasty treats are simple! You need a can of Red Sockeye Salmon, a sweet potato, green beans, and beef marrow bones.
Why do I call these 2 for 1 snacks? What makes them great for a long weekend? It’s pretty simple. We get beef marrow bones to chew on to help keep our chompers clean and nice. Getting the marrow out of the bones takes some time and work, and in order to make these stuffed bones, a dog needs to have the bone marrow out of the bone. I checked to make sure my bones were ready to be stuffed. Your dog gets to eat the marrow in the bone first, and then the salmon dinner in the bone!
To get started, I cooked my sweet potato and sliced it up a bit to cool while the sliced beans were cooking.
The can of salmon needs to be opened too. Be sure to leave the lid on if you own a cat or your salmon may go missing. Even better, don’t leave the salmon unattended! Cat bro Bert is a naughty cat!
As always, sniff up all the ingredients to make sure they are up to snuff. Nothing would be worse than bad green beans with salmon!
Put the three ingredients into a mixing device. I like to use this handy hand crank thingy my mom has. Grind them up until they are well blended. I also added in some of the juice I had drained from the salmon can to make sure it was moist enough.
Take those empty beef marrow bones and stuff them up with the salmon mixture so you have stuffed bones.
At this point, you have two options. One, you can get busy eating, or two, you can wrap the stuffed boned in plastic wrap and freeze them. Both options are super yummy!
When you are ready, dig in! You don’t see much of our faces in our eating photos because we are 100% focused on the tastiness of these stuffed bones! I am wild about mine!
Bailie is crazy about hers as well. My mom isn’t so crazy about them because she has fish phobia, but she put on gloves to help me out and put up with the salmon smell. Mom doesn’t like beans or sweet potatoes either, if you can imagine such a thing! I guess it is true love she showed, allowing me to make these tasty treats!
You could also put this mixture into a Kong, but we liked the idea of the stuffed bones for something different. The new flavor in the bones will also keep your dog chewing the bones for dental health when the filling has been eaten. If your dog is as crazy about salmon as we are, these are sure to be a hit!
And this is why I love you, Emma. What a wonderful idea for a tasty treat.
Bailie and I have been hanging tight around the kitchen since I made these. We love them!
It’s nice that you have treats that your Mom won’t steal from you!
No chance of her stealing these. She doesn’t even want us eating them too near her!
Your mom must REALLY, really love you! It has been rainy and windy here the past few days from the very outer bands of something called Hermine, but nothing serious. XOXO Sparkle
She really went all out for herself to allow me to make something with fish. We love them, and that is what matters most! Glad you are safe. We have seen a lot about Hermine in the news. Our weather is absolutely perfect.
Good idea to stuff your bones with that stuff
Lily & Edward
You got that right! You would love them too!
You sure fixed up a darn yum filed bone treat!
They are super tasty, and so simple to make. Even Bert will gnaw on bones for this stuff!
What a great recipe for stuffing old bones. Have a great weekend!
One can never toss out a treasure like an old bone!
Barley loves salmon (and so do I–but I’m with your mom on the green beans and sweet potatoes!), so we’ll have to try this as a kong filling. Barley can’t have bones like that because they make her gums bleed almost as soon as she starts chewing on them every time, but she does love her Kong! Thanks for the suggestion–my grocery list just got a little longer 🙂
Super easy and we are wild about this stuff. I don’t like Kongs, but I will eat things out of a bone. Bailie will take stuff in anything she is given. I know Barley will love it!
Emma that is a super recipe! Apaws Apaws you should get that star from mr. michelin for this salmon bones!
You are a bigger dog, so you could fill a jumbo bone with lots of filling!
Thats a great idea! Love all the pictures that follow!
Thank you. A girl can’t let good bones go to waste!
This would have to be something they eat the day before a bath – I can only imagine Jaxson’s face all salmon-ed up! LOL
Just the smell of fish makes my mom queasy, but these stuffed bones didn’t stink up our beards at all. She was worried about it.
Very creative, Emma! What a great way to make those bones last longer too.
The best part is, it’s super tasty and healthy!
They look delicious, but Mom has salmon phobia, so I’m pretty sure these ingredients are not on her shopping list…
Love and licks,

Believe me! It took all my mom’s courage to actually make these as she can’t stand fish of any kind, but she did it. Knowing how much we love it and how good it is for us, she made the leap!
My Mom thinks this is totally brilliant and I do too! Now, to get my lazy Mom to give them a try!
It is so good and the bones with the marrow make an excellent appetizer! Very easy to make too.
What a great idea!!! Now…to talk Mama into making it, she isn’t to fond of stinky salmon!
Smileys!

Trust me, my mom is the last one to go near anything with fish, but she did it. Although the salmon did smell in the kitchen, we didn’t stink like salmon after eating it which was a big worry she had!
Looks like a great snack to make and eat or save for a day there is nothing planned to do.
Perfect for a long weekend like right now!
Love the twofer aspect of this recipe. Great job, Emma and pawfect for long or short weekends. 😉
A long weekend gives a dog plenty of time for everything, but I think it works any time as well!
OMD, this is an amazing recipe! My dogs would go wild for this Salmon meal, I must try it. Do you cook the marrow bones first or give it to the dogs raw to eat the marrow out of it! 4 paws up for sharing this with us!
Love & biscuits,
Dogs Luv Us and We Luv Them
We eat the marrow bones raw. Depending on the size of the bone it doesn’t take us too long to get them ready to be stuffed. Our local butcher has a big assortment of them, even smoked ones. They are so good and good for us, then the salmon stuffing as the second course really is a winner!
Those look like yummy treats. Lucky doggies.
They are good. We had frozen ones last night.
yeah, waiting is a killer 😀 enjoy it. Yummy 😡 I just can’t describe in words how cute you are. Your mom is really lucky. I’m jealous with her
Thank you. Mom says I’m cute too.
What a great idea!! One of my dogs is super fussy, and haven’t found anything he’ll chew on. This recipe sounds amazing, can’t wait to try it. Thanks.
I hope he likes them. I’m super picky and love them.
