Are your real bones safe for my dog?
|
|
In our experience, we’ve seen very few health problems resulting from dogs chewing on real bones. However, all real bones pose a minimal risk of splintering. Therefore, we recommend supervising your dog’s chewing sessions and taking away any small pieces your dog may break off. Our long-lasting, real bones are designed to wear down slowly, rather than splinter. We do not recommend giving dogs bones left over from food you eat, since you cannot be assured of the hardness of the bone – particularly after it has been cooked. |
|
Are bones appropriate for older dogs?
|
|
Provided that your older dog has healthy teeth, bones are extremely appropriate. Bones provide entertainment and mental stimulation that can be very beneficial to older dogs – especially those who are not extremely active. |
|
How do bones improve dental health?
|
|
When your dog chews on bones, the chewing action scrapes away plaque, controls tartar buildup, and helps stimulate gums. This diminishes bad breath, keeps teeth whiter, and reduces the risk of potentially serious dental problems. |
|
How are your bones different from those I can buy at my local grocery or retail store?
|
|
We have gone to great lengths to ensure that our bones are the absolute best for your dog. Made from premium U.S.D.A. American cattle. I make sure our bones are produced under the strictest quality standards. Compare our bones to the bones you will find on any retail shelf, and you’ll see a definite difference in quality, durability, and affordability. |
|
Should I supervise my dog while he’s chewing a bone?
|
|
We do recommend supervising your dog while he’s chewing a bone and taking away smaller pieces he has chewed off to minimize the extremely rare risks of choking and intestinal blockage. |
|
How do bones help prevent negative chewing behavior?
|
|
Bones satisfy your dog’s innate urge to chew. They also help to relieve teething pain, giving your puppy a beneficial (and acceptable) item to chew on when teething. If you encourage your dog to chew on bones from puppyhood on, chances are he’ll choose a bone over your shoes, books, television remote, and so on. Offer a variety of bones to maintain your dog’s interest. |
