Chewing is a natural behavior for dogs. It helps satisfy their natural urge to chew, keeps them engaged and helps relieve boredom. To help your dog enjoy chewing safely, please follow the guidelines below:
[General Use]
- Always supervise your dog while chewing.
- Allow your dog to chew properly and avoid gulping down the chew whole or swallowing large pieces.
- Take extra care if your dog tends to gulp, swallow quickly or attempts to swallow large pieces.
- When introducing a new chew, start with a shorter chewing session and observe how your dog chews and responds to the product.
[Hard Chews] (e.g., antlers, hooves and certain bone chews)
- These products are naturally harder in texture. Monitor your dog's chewing style and avoid prolonged, forceful chewing.
- Stop using and discard the product if it develops sharp edges, significant cracks, breaks or loose pieces.
[Stick & Long-Shaped Chews] (e.g., bully sticks, tendons and similar chews)
- Consider using a suitable chew holder to secure the chew and help reduce the chance of your dog swallowing the short end piece.
- Remove the chew once the remaining piece becomes too short or small enough to fit entirely inside your dog's mouth.
[Check Regularly & Replace When Needed]
- Check the condition of the chew regularly during use.
- Stop using and replace the chew when it becomes too short, too small, able to fit entirely inside the mouth, or shows sharp edges, cracks or significant damage.
[Watch Your Dog]
- If your dog shows signs of choking, difficulty breathing or obvious distress, seek veterinary assistance immediately.
- If you suspect your dog has swallowed a large piece, or subsequently develops persistent vomiting, reduced appetite, abdominal discomfort, lethargy or abnormal bowel movements, please consult your veterinarian promptly.
