1.     Varieties:

There are so many chews to choose from. They are classified by shape, size and the material used. Chews come in various shapes and bone shaped is the most famous by far. Chews are either made of natural foods like roasted bones, beef tendons, beef hooves, roasted turkey breasts, duck livers and so on. There are also synthetic food chews that are a mix of natural food and preservatives and other permitted flavors. Then there are chews made of natural rubber or nylabone chews which are for those dogs that are always gnawing onto something or the other. The sizes vary and the same chews are made to different sizes to suit different breeds and ages.

Chews Dog - Concerns

1.     Safety Issues:

Always keep the size of your dog's mouth in mind while buying chews. Small chews pose a choking hazard if the dogs swallow them.

2.     Behavioral Issues:

 Dogs often prefer a particular kind of chew and might refuse to go for another.  If you have more than one pet at home it will do better to give each pet its own chew so that they would not fight over one. Dogs that drool a lot can make a nasty mess lying with their chews upon carpets for hours. Cure the habit immediately and encourage him to enjoy his chew out in the yard.

3.     Health Issues:

Natural chews are good for health and also help in chewing. But too much of chews could affect its digestion, so take care to see that he gets only limited amount.

4.     Convenience:

Chews can also be used as rewards in training allowing the animal to get to its chew only through obedience and good behavior.

5.     Expense:

Most chews are pretty inexpensive. Nylabone and Kong may be costly but these last much longer than the regular chews.
