What on earth does Rex do to my shoe? As you try to salvage your sneakers, you may ask yourself: “Why on earth is Rex chewing again?” Instinctively, dogs chew to keep their jaw muscles active and work out their teeth. A solution that is as old and as popular as Dog bones. The cartoon pooches are known to chew on their bones in a comical manner, but the truth is that there’s a lot more behind this.
These chewy treats are nature’s solution to keeping your pup occupied, and keep his teeth shining. By giving a dog a treat, you are providing more than just food. Your pup will also benefit from the health benefits. With each chew, your dog will melt into a pile of happiness.
We’ll chew some juicy information. The aisle at the pet store is crowded with options. What do you choose? you wonder. You can choose from raw bones, smoke bones or even marrow-filled bones. Raw bones will usually be soft enough for dogs to crunch, but tough enough to test their teeth. Pork, beef, lamb–oh my! For every kind of mutt, there’s meat.
If you give your dog some bones, it may reduce the need for vet appointments. The bones act as a little toothbrush of calcium to scrape away tartar. How about fresh breath, and healthy gums too? This sounds like a winning combination to me.
Your neighbors may give you a horrified look as they watch your dog chew away, like a tiny Jack the Ripper. Just nature’s means of making sure your pet gets his or her yayas. The sight of him digging without any care is often awe-inspiring.
But, before throwing a bone to your dog, consider two factors. It’s important to remember that every dog is different. As an example, cooked bone shards can be as sharp as a dagger from a villain, and pose a risk to your pup’s digestive tract. Do not give your dog cooked bones. Instead, only feed them raw treats or those that have been specially prepared. Second, size does matter. Why give your Great Dane such tiny bones? A bad idea Goldilocks, the ideal size is just right:
Are you dealing with a picky eater? Then try an appealing marrow bone. Terry, your pet dog, will be transformed into Terry Lewis. The rich flavor of the marrow will make your canine Terry into a gourmet foodie.
Maybe you’ll make new neighbors when you bring home some of those wild delights. Your dog might be able to sniff out a good deal, so you could find yourself with a whole hound parade right at your front door.
Attention! Your dog will reject kibble after tasting the tasty taste of the bones. It’s as if it is saying “You are kidding me right?”
The next time your pup looks at you with desperate eyes or heads straight for the shoes rack, consider bones. Treat your pooch to a healthy treat. It will be delicious and full of nutrients. By doing this, you will have tails waving and dogs smiling all the while saving any leftover treats. Prepare yourself for the unwavering loyalty of your pet, expressed through kisses and slobbers.
