Bones provide support for exercise and play, but sometimes too much pressure can put too much strain on them, leading to their breaking. Such fractures are known as fractures.
By giving him long-lasting chews like the Busy Bone tiny adult dog chew treats, give your pup something to keep him occupied, clean his teeth, and satisfy his appetite for bold meaty flavors!

Keeps Your Dog Mentally Stimulated
An energetic dog’s mental stimulation is just as essential to their physical wellbeing as exercise and playtime. Bored dogs may resort to destructive behaviors like chewing furniture or scratching doors for attention; others might turn to whining or barking in search of stimulation. Playing mental stimulation games with your pup can help curb these undesirable habits while providing them with enough restful restful sleep.
Mental stimulation engages parts of your dog’s brain not normally active during a normal day and helps him or her remain happy and relaxed while alleviating stress or depression. There are various methods you can employ to mentally stimulate your pet; here are just a few:
Try playing hide and seek or creating an obstacle course with your dog to engage their mind and strengthen the bond between you two. Give them something fun like a busy bone with puzzle center to keep them engaged for even longer!
Keeps Your Dog’s Teeth Clean
Studies have proven that providing your dog with a bone is an effective way to reduce bacteria on their teeth. When they chew it, their teeth scrape away plaque and tartar from them while ensuring the ideal type of bone breaks apart easily as your pup chews it; otherwise it could result in fractured teeth or intestinal obstruction.
Avoid bones from tougher animals such as skunks, pig feet, pork necks and ox tails as these could pose the highest risk of sharp edges and may splinter when chewed on. Furthermore, thick bones could break your dog’s teeth. A good way to test the pliability of bones by pressing with your thumbnail should show some give when you press them – the ideal bones should give slightly as you press on them; soft bones are digestible more easily making chewing simpler for your pet.

Keeps Your Dog’s Mouth Clean
Wild canines clean their own teeth by chewing on bones of prey they catch, an action proven to keep their gums and teeth healthy.
People are often concerned that bones splinter, cause cracked teeth or cause intestinal obstructions (undigested bone clogging the intestines). While such issues can be difficult to avoid, they can usually be reduced significantly with proper care and prevention strategies.
Cooked bones can be extremely brittle, easily shattering and potentially cutting your dog’s gums or puncturing his stomach or intestines. Ingestion of such fragments may also result in intestinal blockages.
Raw bones tend to be much softer and lower the risk of splintering than their cooked counterparts, and one study found that feeding raw bones to dogs reduced oral bacteria by 79% within three days and 82% within twelve days, when compared with brushing, VeggieDent chews, or bully sticks; making this an excellent option to consider for your little pup!
