Natural bones are fully digestible, and a good source of protein and calcium. They provide an enjoyable chewing experience and satisfy a dogs natural carnivorous instincts.

Your dog has a natural urge to chew, especially young dogs. A bone would possibly keep him from chewing on your shoes or furniture. It will also provide them with some form of entertainment and mental stimulation. A bored dog is an unhappy dog!

Choose a bone that matches your dog's chewing abilities. Size, shape, hardness and flavor are all important to your dog.

Size by far is the most important. Pets are very particular about the size of the bone you give them. Lucky Dog Chew Bones Treats come in a wide variety of sizes ranging from the heavyweight " THE BEHEMOTH " a 12" to 18" long Beef Femur Bone to the lightweight " BUSTER'S BEST " a 1" thick, marrow filled, slice of a Beef Shank Bone which come six slices to a package. If it's too big they won't touch it, even though they'll spend hours chewing smaller bones. Generally speaking, smaller dogs prefer smaller bones, but the reverse is not always true. Bigger dogs will sometimes ignore big bones and opt for smaller ones but use caution when giving large dogs small bones. They may cause choking if accidentally swallowed whole.

The consistency of your dogs bone is also another item to consider. An aggressive chewer can gnaw down a good size bone in an amazingly short time. For them, a harder bone will last longer.

Dogs have varied tastes, just like people. Flavor is very important to some dogs. Certain dogs like Beef, others like Pork or Lamb bones, while others prefer Hickory Smoked to other natural smoked flavors. Try various types to see which one best suits your dog, and if your dog is like many they will enjoys a change in flavor from time to time.
