FAQs

Is this bone safe for all dogs?

This bone is intended for adult dogs. Puppies, senior dogs, or dogs with dental issues should not be given hard chews without veterinary consultation. Always supervise your dog while they chew.

How long will the bone last?

The longevity varies greatly depending on the dog's size, breed, and chewing intensity. It is designed to be a long-lasting chew, but some dogs may consume it faster than others.

Why does the bone vary in size and shape?

This is a natural product, and variations in size, shape, and color are expected. Each bone is unique.

Can I wash the bone if it gets dirty?

It is best not to wash the bone. Washing can alter its natural texture and appeal. If it becomes excessively dirty or damp, allow it to air dry completely before offering it again.

What should I do if my dog eats a piece of the bone?

Monitor your dog closely for any signs of digestive upset, such as vomiting or diarrhea. If you are concerned, contact your veterinarian. Avoid giving bones that are small enough to be swallowed whole.

Is the smoking process safe for dogs?

The smoking process is a traditional method used to preserve and flavor the bone, making it appealing to dogs. It is considered safe when the bone is used as intended and supervised.

Troubleshooting

Dog is not interested in the bone

Ensure the dog is an adult and has a natural inclination to chew. Some dogs may take time to warm up to a new type of chew. Try lightly warming the bone to release more aroma, or introduce it during a time the dog is typically looking for engagement.

Dog is trying to swallow large pieces

Immediately remove the bone and supervise more closely. If this persists, consider a smaller or softer chew alternative. This is a primary reason for supervision.

Bone appears to be breaking into sharp fragments

Remove the bone immediately and discard it. While designed to be durable, aggressive chewing can sometimes cause breakage. Always prioritize safety.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This product is suitable for adult dogs. Ensure your dog does not have any pre-existing dental conditions or sensitivities that could be aggravated by chewing a hard bone. It is not recommended for puppies or very small breeds due to the size and hardness.

Setup: No setup is required. Present the bone directly to your dog as a chew toy. Always introduce new chew items gradually.

Care: This is a natural product and does not require cleaning before use. Once the dog has finished with the bone, dispose of any remaining small pieces or fragments to prevent ingestion. Do not wash or attempt to sterilize the bone, as this can alter its natural properties. Store in a cool, dry place if not given to the dog immediately.
