What's a Dog to Chew? Dog Chew Toy Tips for Different Types of Dogs

Strong chewers: will need your supervision with Bully Sticks (one of our most popular items), so they don't eat too much of the chew or swallow large pieces. Trade your dog for a treat when you want to take it back. The chew will last longer and be safer if you order a larger size for strong chewers. Unfortunately though, bully sticks may not last very long with a strong chewer.

Picky chewers: will prefer the regular bullies as opposed to the "low odor" and may like the bully stick soaked first. Make sure that you don't get a 12" bully for a small dog as a picky dog may just not be motivated to work harder at it.

Puppies: should be supervised and not allowed to eat more than 2" at a time. Bully sticks are one of our favorite chews to recommend for puppies.

Strong chewers: will need supervision (as all dogs do), so they don't eat too much of the chew or swallow large pieces of the Himalayan chew. Trade your dog for a treat when you want to take it back. Ordering a size larger than you normally would will help the chew to last longer.

Picky chewers: Most picky dogs are fans of the Himalayan chews, but if not you can try soaking it or scratching it a bit to release some fresh flavor.

Puppies: should be supervised and not allowed to eat more than 1" at a time and then monitored to see how digestion goes.

Picky Chewers: Try sanding the antler chew, rubbing it with peanut butter or soaking it in water if your dog is not interested in it.

Strong chewers: will need supervision so they don't chew the hard rubber Kong into pieces. Trade your dog for a treat when you want to take it back.
