Chews That are Bad for Your Dog and Chews That are Good For Your Dog

Chewing is an important part of your dog's life. It is good for his oral and mental health. Chewing helps keep the teeth clean and gives his body exercise and keeps his mind occupied. Encouraging your dog to chew on a regular basis on something safe will also help prevent problem behaviors. For example, a dog who chews for 30 minutes is more apt to take a nap rather than getting into some kind of trouble doing something he or she should not do.

Dog chewing is also good for owners in that while your dog happily chews, you can sit back and relax, read a good book, watch a little T.V. knowing your dog is safe at your feet chewing on something safe and good for he or she.

Some of the items not good for a dog to chew include:

  1. tennis balls
  2. rawhide chews
  3. cow's hooves
  4. real animal bones
Let us first take a look at tennis balls and why they are more harm than good for your dog. Tennis ball chewing can cause serious dental problems as the wool and nylon is abrasive and can wear down tooth enamel with prolonged use.

As tennis balls bounce along the ground, they pick up grit and grime. For aggressive chewers, the repetitions of gnawing down on the tennis ball can wear down the enamel so completely that the tooth pulp becomes exposed creating a painful condition that can only be fixed by a root canal or tooth extraction.

Most dogs love a good game of fetch and it is excellent exercise as well as mental stimulation for both you and your dog companion. Use a plain rubber ball instead. A plain rubber ball won't accumulate as much dirt as a tennis ball.

Rawhide chews are a definite no no for any dog, big or small. They are made from compressed layers of cow's skin. The concerns here are harsh chemical processes like bleaching that makes the rawhide chew more susceptible to bacteria contamination. Rawhide chews are also a choking hazard. They are not easily digested and can cause stomach upset. Dogs who are allowed to chew rawhide chews may experience tooth fractures or intestinal obstruction from the small fragments bitten off the rawhide chew.

Cow's hooves is much like the rawhide chews. Don't go there. Don't purchase these for your dog to chew on no matter how inexpensive they may be, just don't allow your dogs to chew on cow's hooves. Here is why. There is danger in breaking a tooth. There is danger in ingesting small fragments that can lacerate the intestines and there are choking risks.

Real animal bones is another chew you should never give your dog. The hazards are much the same as for the above mentioned chews, choking, possible bacterial contamination and overall digestion problems may result.

Don't make your dog sick with any of the above chews and most of all keep your dog alive, happy and well.

Appropriate chews include those produced by Life's Abundance.

    1. I just ordered some of these. Have not tried them yet or should I say "my shih tzu" have not tried them yet. I just know the Porky Puff treat was a big hit for my Simon, so I can't wait to see how he reacts to these. Thank you for the comment.
