bones & chews — Frequently asked questions
How do I choose the right bone or chew for my dog's size and chewing strength?
Choose by matching chew size and hardness to your dog’s muzzle and bite force. Small dogs need smaller, softer chews; large or powerful chewers need bigger, denser bones they cannot swallow whole. Prefer weight-bearing or knuckle-style bones for tough chewers and softer meaty or skin-covered chews for gentle chewers or shorter sessions. Avoid bones that can fit entirely in your dog’s mouth and never give brittle cooked bones that can splinter.
What are the practical differences between marrow/knuckle bones, meaty bones and dense weight-bearing bones?
Marrow and knuckle bones offer long-lasting chewing and fatty marrow; they’re excellent for extended interest but are higher in calories and grease. Meaty bones (with skin or meat attached) are tastier and good for shorter chewing sessions and training rewards. Dense weight-bearing bones are the hardest and best for powerful chewers and dental abrasion, but they carry a higher risk of dental wear or fractures for some dogs. Choose based on how long you want the chew to last, the calorie load, and your dog’s dental strength.
How should I offer, supervise and store bones & chews safely?
Offer chews on a washable surface and supervise the first session to check for aggressive gnawing or splintering. Remove and replace a bone when it becomes small enough to swallow or develops sharp edges. Store raw bones refrigerated for short-term use or frozen for longer storage; discard any bone that smells sour, is slimy, or shows visible rot. Clean bowls and your hands after handling raw items to reduce bacterial risk.
Are bones & chews suitable for dogs with food sensitivities, weight concerns or dental problems?
They can be, but choose carefully: alternative-protein bones (e.g., different animal sources) may suit dogs with protein sensitivities, while leaner, low-grease chews are better for weight control. Bones can help remove surface tartar but are not a substitute for professional dental care and may be unsafe for dogs with weak or damaged teeth. For puppies, seniors, or dogs with health issues, consult your veterinarian before introducing hard chews.
