When we give our dogs raw bones, we make them eat them on blankets that we only use for this activity and we then wash them. Generally though, unless contaminated at the slaughter house, bones should be generally free of bacteria since it's just muscle, fat, ligaments and bone. All of which should be sterile at time of death.
