There are many kinds of chew toys that are available in pet stores, supermarkets, or online. You might be wondering which among these chew toys is best for your pet.
Dogs, especially adults, like to chew because it is a stress reliever. They will chew on almost anything, including the shoes and furniture. On the other hand, puppies that are teething like to chew because it relieves the pain and discomfort from the growing teeth. So keep your furniture safe, and get your dog a proper chew toy.
Keep these in mind when choosing a chew toy:
- Rawhide is an excellent choice, but it can break apart and be ingested accidentally
- Antlers and real bones might break into smaller pieces and get stuck in the intestinal tract
- Pig ears are tasty and smell good, but these may contain Salmonella. A contaminated pig ear might cause your dog to become ill
- Nylon and rubber chew toys make excellent options. But it may get ripped off and get ingested by your doggie.
