Chews are more than just a tasty snack...they’re enrichment, dental care, and stress relief rolled into one. But not every chew is right for every dog. Choosing the right buffalo chew depends on your pup’s age, chewing habits, and health.
Puppies: Gentle Options for Growing Teeth
Puppies love to chew, especially during teething. Softer chews like buffalo ears or tendons give them an outlet without risking damage to developing teeth. Always supervise young pups to prevent over-chewing.
Adult Dogs: Match the Chew to the Chewer
-
Moderate chewers: Dogs who enjoy chewing but don’t destroy toys instantly do well with buffalo trachea or lung. These chews provide crunch without being too hard.
-
Power chewers: If your dog is determined to demolish every chew, buffalo horns or denser tendons provide long-lasting satisfaction. These are harder but still digestible compared to rawhide.
Senior Dogs: Keep It Easy
As dogs age, they may lose teeth or develop sensitive gums. Light chews like dehydrated buffalo lung are easier to chew while still offering enrichment and protein.
Safety Guidelines
-
Always supervise chew sessions.
-
Choose appropriately sized chews—larger pieces for big breeds, smaller for small dogs.
-
Introduce new chews gradually to avoid stomach upset.
Every dog has unique chewing needs, and choosing the right option ensures they stay safe while enjoying themselves. Matching chews to age and chewing style is the key to happy, stress-free snack time.
