How old should a dog be before having a rawhide?Updated 2 months ago

Chewing is an important and beneficial activity for all ages! Chewing isn’t strictly defined by age as much as it is impulses and energy levels. Because every dog behaves differently, there is no set time to start your pup on a chewing adventure. Younger dogs typically don’t have the strength or drive to sit down and work on a hard chew. In most cases they will attempt something tough, find it to be not as fun, and go back to a softer item like a leather shoe or table leg because it is easier to breakdown/destroy. When trying something new, start with shorter, supervised chew sessions to see how your pup will behave. All chewing should be monitored at all time.
