Many dog treats are made for dogs, and not puppies. If you have an active puppy, you will do anything, to keep them busy. But you are not going to feed them adult treats, are you?
Often, there are no options just for puppies. They require a tough surface to chew on, and not a soft chewy treat. The new teeth coming in, are making your puppy want to chew, and a nice strong chew will be the best thing for them, right?
On occasion, a rawhide can be provided, but only from a reputable manufacturer. The recommended country of manufacture should be from the US, or Canada. Do not buy rawhide from China or Mexico.
Even better, use a better rawhide, from a sweet potato. There are dried sweet potatoes, that are just as stiff and strong as a rawhide. They provide valuable vitamins and minerals, and are easily digested. Rawhide is very hard to digest, and can become a problem for any dog.
Nylabones are a great chew toy, but your dog may be consuming the scraps of the plastic bones. Be sure to watch your puppy whenever you give a treat.
