You may have read reports that Nylabones are toxic and can cause seizures. There doesn’t appear to be much merit to these claims. The real danger, as I’ve already mentioned, is damage to your dog’s teeth or digestive system. Whether cooked, uncooked, solid, or hollow, bones can and do splinter, and they're still hard enough to break teeth. Can these chews splinter or break? Any chew has the potential to splinter, but water buffalo chews are known for being tough and durable. Still, it’s essential to monitor your dog and discard the chew if it shows signs of breaking apart. Low Fat: Water buffalo horns are a lean chew option, containing minimal fat. This can be an excellent choice for dogs on a restricted diet or for those who are prone to weight gain.

Supervise your dog while they are playing and chewing with toys. If they get too riled up or are chewing too aggressively, have them take a break from chewing. This may help prevent a tooth fracture or them breaking off a large piece and either choking or getting an obstruction.

The treats should be firm, but not too hard. “Look for one that is soft enough that it will not damage/fracture any teeth,” Dr. Goldschmidt says. “You should be able to indent your fingernail into the treat and/or feel comfortable hitting it against your own knee cap.” Your Dog's Chewing Style:Each dog has their own "chewsonality." Some are inhalers and/or destroyers while others just like to nibble. Knowing your dog’s chew style aids in selecting the best chew.

This extra-large chew bone is designed for aggressive chewers and can help with behaviors like boredom and anxiety. It also provides oral and dental health benefits, helping to keep teeth, gums, and jaw muscles strong and healthy while reducing tartar, plaque, and bad breath. Additionally, it is a high-protein and mineral-rich chew that is grain-free and free of additives and preservatives, making it a healthy choice for large breed dogs of all life stages. Not all types of chews are suitable for every dog. However, because horns are hard but not too hard, they are ideal for a wide range of chewers from teething puppies to senior pets. Horns are especially well-suited for power chewers. Pig’s ears are another favorite treat among dog owners. While pig ears can provide some solid chew time, they are high in fat.

This buildup of bacteria often leads to halitosis and can lead to more serious health conditions, like periodontal disease, an uncomfortable infection in the gums that typically requires teeth to be permanently extracted.
