Dogs have an innate desire to exercise their jaws. This is part of nature that really stems from their origins. Thousands of years ago man domesticated wild dogs by introducing them into his pack of hunters. Man and beast worked together to find game for food. In order to tear apart the meat and bones of the kill, dogs needed to keep their teeth sharp. That desire still remains from their previous descendants.
There are just so many benefits of giving the right dog chew. It promotes healthy teeth and gums naturally. Chewing on the right chew will help keep tartar and calculus off your pet's teeth and saving you hundreds of dollars in tooth extractions and dental bills.
How do you find the right chew for your dog? There are so many options now compared with 20 years ago, but you need to give a safe, healthy and natural chew.
You should choose your dog's chew by the size of their jaw. You do not want to give a bone, rawhide chew, tendon or bully stick that is just too big.
For teacup breeds we recommend Free Range Eco Naturals bully junior sticks. They are thin and easy for dogs weighing 12 pounds and under to get their jaws and teeth into. Also, the 6 inch Free Range Eco Naturals Select size bully sticks are a good size. For rawhides, we recommend the Wholesome Hide twists. They are available in a 10 pack. Dogs weighing 12-25 pounds can handle the Free Range Eco Naturals select bully sticks in the 9 to 12 inch size, the 6 or 9 inch braided bully sticks and the Wholesome Hide double twists, mini rolls or the 4-5 inch retriever roll or 4-5 inch and 6-7 inch knotted rawhide bones.
For dogs that weigh 25-50 pounds, the 8 inch Wholesome Hide retriever roll, 8-9 inch flat knot rawhide, the 10 inch retriever roll and the bacon in a blanket retriever rolls and in the bully sticks- we like the 12 inch supreme size and 12 inch braided.
For the larger breeds that are above 60 pounds, we love the Wholesome Hide Super Thick retriever roll.
It is double the thickness of your normal size roll and they are the only company that produces this made in USA rawhide.
