This video explains the importance of chew toys for your puppy dog. The expert shows two good examples of toys to buy your puppy. She also explains why larger chewing objects are better and safer than small ones.
I buy these cow hoofs filled with dried chicken/beef meal at the pet food store; They look rather disgusting but they are all natural and my puppy loves them! They keep her occupied for hours!
I did not know about the big vs. small chew toy for a puppy. Will get Gigi a trachea and see how she does with it. Whenever a chewie gets too small, I get rid of it.
Make sure you take the chew toy away from the dog when it gets small enough to fit in the mouth. They can choke on small objects....even chew toys that used to be big.
