Dogs in the wild, and throughout the history of domestication of the species, have always consumed meat. For the ancestors of modern dogs, this meant hunting their prey and eating both meat as well as chewing on bones.
While our domestic friends and companions no longer have to hunt to survive, they do retain the natural urge to chew. From puppies through to senior dogs, your pet will enjoy tasty non rawhide dog bones and chews for several different reasons.
Satisfies the Natural Instinct to Chew
All puppies will chew. Chewing is both a way to learn about things in their environment as well as to help with shedding puppy teeth and developing adult teeth. Some dogs seem to naturally lose the urge to chew when they reach adulthood, but some will be chewers throughout their life.
By providing healthy, safe, non rawhide dog bones and chews, you are allowing your dog to act upon their natural instincts without going after your shoes, remote controls or other items around the house. A chew a day can help your dog to feel relaxed, to have something to do and to simply enjoy what feels great.
Provides Oral Health Benefits
With rawhide free dog bones and chews your dog will have an added benefit of boosting oral health. The crunchy texture acts to scrub the surface of the tooth, helping to remove plaque and keep gums healthy.
Fully Digestible With Added Nutritional Benefits
The non rawhide options in bones and chews are highly digestible. This means no slimy mess on the floor to clean up and a dramatically reduced risk of any digestive disturbance. With 99.9% digestibility in 24 hours, there is also an extremely limited risk of any type of blockage, something which is something which is a concern if dogs are given rawhide chews.
