Chewing bones are great both as a treat and as a way to keep your dog active. Chewing bones can also have a beneficial effect on dental cleaning and help keep teeth healthy.
At Hunni we have a wide selection of chew bones that vary in size, chew hardness and fat content, so you can find the right one for your dog. We have created a guide to help you choose the best chew bone for your dog's needs.
Chew bones for puppies
Most puppy owners know all too well the need to chew on just about anything they can get their hands on. Chewing bones can be an effective way to distract the puppy while strengthening teeth and gums.
If you need to keep your puppy entertained for a longer period of time, a cut antler is a great choice. It gives your puppy something durable to chew on and also massages their gums.
Chew bones for small dogs
For small breeds, it is an advantage to choose a smaller chew snack with a moderate chew hardness, so that it is easier to handle. If you have a small dog that likes to chew, beef throats can be a really good choice - they are both tasty and soft enough.
If your dog is a smaller flat-nosed breed, such as a French Bulldog, it's important to be aware that they often tend to swallow their food quickly. A yaki snack can be a good alternative, as it reduces the risk of your dog getting something stuck in their throat while chewing.
Chewing bone for medium dogs
Medium sized dogs enjoy most chews, and the chew hardness can vary depending on the breed. If your dog is a bit picky, we recommend trying something that emits a scent to stimulate your dog's senses - these three recommendations are very popular with both picky and non-picky dogs.
Chewing bones for large dogs
For large dogs, some chews can quickly feel like a regular treat and not provide the chewing experience they need. Therefore, it is important to choose snacks with a high chew hardness that can challenge the dog's powerful jaws and provide long-term employment.
The large deer antlers are a particularly good choice as the marrow is not exposed and your dog therefore has to work his way through all the goodness. See our deer antlers here.
Elkhide forehead patches and chew bones are also ideal for large dogs. Elkhide is extra tough and provides a long chewing time, making it perfect for the most persistent chewers. See our beef forehead patches here and our elkhide chew bones here.
