Hi everyone, my puppy’s behavior is testing my patience, indicating she may be bored or lacking routine. Starting tomorrow, I’m implementing a stricter schedule with chew toys after walks. Any recommendations for safe, long-lasting, low-calorie chews for my 4-month-old puppy?
For your four-month-old puppy, think about safe and long-lasting chew toys like Nylabone Puppy Chew toys or Kong Puppy toys, which are made especially for teething and encouraging good chewing habits. Natural alternatives like raw bones or bully sticks can also promote tooth health while offering hours of enjoyment. For added safety, watch over your puppy at all times when it’s chewing, and ask your veterinarian for specific advice depending on your dog’s breed and chewing tendencies.
Implementing a structured routine and providing appropriate chew toys is a great way to manage a puppy’s behavior. For safe, long-lasting, and low-calorie chews, here are some options that have been recommended:
Collagen Chews: These are known for being safe and are a good source of protein and collagen.
Fish Chews: They are typically low in fat and a healthy option.
Tracheas/Esophaguses: These chews are not only safe but also help in dental cleaning.
Yak Cheese: This is a long-lasting chew that’s also low in calories.
Tendon Chews: They are a safer choice as they’re low in fat and high in protein and collagen.
We’re a big fan of himalayan dog chews in our house. They sell a bunch of different textures and flavors that vary in hardness on a scale of 1-10. My pup is a big chewer as well and she loves these. And once you get to the end of the chew, you can microwave the end piece and it’ll turn into a puff for them to eat!
I needed these answers, thanks y’all
