In multi-dog households, treat time can sometimes feel like competition time. Dogs may guard chews, steal from each other, or squabble over who gets the biggest piece. With the right approach, buffalo chews can bring harmony instead of chaos.
Pick the Right Chew for Each Dog
Not all dogs have the same chewing style or strength. Giving each pup a chew that suits their size and chewing habits helps avoid jealousy. A buffalo horn might be perfect for your power chewer, while a trachea or ear suits a more casual chewer.
Supervised Chew Sessions
Resource guarding is common when dogs value a chew highly. By supervising, you can step in if tensions rise. Some families even set up “chew zones” where each dog enjoys their snack in their own space.
Rotation to Keep Things Interesting
Dogs are just like us, they can get bored with the same thing. Rotate between horns, tendons, trachea, and ears to keep every dog engaged and reduce the chances of squabbles.
Fairness Matters
Dogs notice when one sibling gets something better. Keep chews equal in size or reward value so no pup feels left out. For special treats, give them in separate areas to prevent conflict.
