Choosing the Right Chew Bone For Your Dog
from: Kyle BesserChewing on dog chew bones helps dogs of all ages in a number of ways. Chewing on chew bones is good for your dog's teeth by helping to scrape away plaque, which can cause bad breath and a number of potentially serious dental problems. Chewing on dog chew bones helps to relieve boredom, especially when you are away from home. Chewing on dog chew bones satisfies the urge to chew.
When choosing dog chew bones, you want to match your dog's chewing rate and chewing habits. Consider the size, shape, hardness and flavor of the dog chew bones when selecting chew bones to try.
Size
Some dogs are very particular about the size of the chew bones you give them. If the chew bone is too big, the dog may not touch it. They may chew for hours on a smaller size chew bone. Other dogs will chew any size chew bone.
Generally speaking, smaller dogs prefer smaller chew bones. The reverse is not always true. Many bigger dogs will ignore big chew bones, which can lead the owner to believe that chew bones do not interest the dog. Some dogs will not touch rawhide bones that they find too big, but the same rawhide bones in a smaller size may be chewed immediately.
Hardness and Texture
The consistency of the chew bones is another factor to consider. Aggressive chewers can chew down a good size chew bone in a surprisingly short period of time. For these dogs, try pressed rawhide chew bones, which will last longer because they are compressed harder. Synthetic chew bones, such as Nylabones, are also an excellent choice for a longer lasting chew.
If your dog chews for short periods of time with a soft bite, smaller rawhide bones that are easy to soften will be more enjoyable. You can also try rawhide chips, rawhide sticks or rawhide twists. These smaller rawhide chips, rawhide sticks or rawhide twists can satisfy the urge to chew and provide just as much entertainment and taste as chew bones.
Flavor
Chew bones come in many flavors, such as peanut butter and hickory smoked. The flavor of chew bones is very important to some dogs. Some dogs will chew any flavor of chew bones while other dogs will be very picky about which flavors of chew bones they will chew. Try various flavors of chew bones to see which ones your dog enjoys.
Almost all dogs like to chew. The trick is finding the right size, consistency and flavors of chew bones your dog likes. Try to find a few types your dog enjoys so that when he loses interest in the one he is chewing, he will switch to another. This will keep your dog chewing and benefit by helping remove plaque from the teeth and relieving boredom.
