Opt for tough, sturdy chews made of nylon, rubber, or treated wood that can stand up to serious chewing.
Durability
Make sure any chews do not splinter or contain toxins and are too big to be choking hazards.
Safety
Choosing chews that engage your dog's interests with flavors, textures, and challenge can prevent boredom.
Appeal
Brushing chews and sterilizing natural bones helps maintain dental hygiene.
Hygiene
Even safe chews require monitoring for destruction, consumption or hazardous fragments.
Supervision
Rotate novel, stimulating chew toys to prevent obsessive chewing of favorites.
Variety
Some dogs relish chewing raw hides, hooves, antlers or sterilized bones under close watch.
