What treat/chew would you recommend for a new puppy?Updated 2 months ago

A majority of our products are great for all life stages!

With puppies, you will find they require more supervision depending on their size/breed. They might not have the jaw strength or patience to chew up dehydrated bone or heavier chews, so participate in chew time by holding the chew during the chewing session to see how each chew breaks down and how the dog responds to the chew.

When giving a new product, you will also want to limit how much is consumed to give the puppy's belly a chance to learn new ingredients. Our products are 100% animal ingredients and nutrient-rich so some products can be rich (especially for a puppy). Starting out slow is a great way to teach the gut and learn more about your dog's chewing styles and habits (patient chewer vs gulper).

All chewing should be supervised, especially when your dog is trying something for the first time. When giving chews that have dehydrated bone, you want to make sure the dog has the jaw strength and patience to chew/crush the bones before consuming. If a sharp edge or inappropriate chewing behavior is ever discovered, we recommend removing the chew for safety reasons.

Lastly, everything you purchase from us has a satisfaction guarantee. If you get something that the pup doesn't like or isn't a great fit, please reach out to us so we can make things right.
