Anyone with a large or giant dog recognizes the problems in finding bedding, kennels, crates, toys, and food for their dog. This extends to finding the best and safest chew bones on the market.
With the large breeds, the dog’s size is really the issue. Often large breeds of dogs are not aggressive chewers, but the size of their mouth makes it dangerous to give them dog chew bones designed for smaller or medium sized dogs. The large dogs can easily swallow small chew toys whole, which creates a significant choking risk. They can also simply bite a medium sized chew bone in half, again risking swallowing and choking issues.
What To Look For
There are some healthy, safe and nutritious large dog chew bones on the market. These chew bones are 100% rawhide free, which means they are not going to sit undigested in the dog’s body for days after they are consumed. For the large breed dogs, this is particularly important as digestive issues may already be a concern for owners.
Look for large dog chew bones made with baked pork skin rather than rawhide. This is a highly digestible option that is healthy and tastes great, similar to the crunchy, satisfying pork rinds people enjoy. It is 99.9% digestible, which means no undigested material is left in your dog’s digestive system.
Unlike pork rinds which are deep fried, baking the pork skin removes about 70% of the fat while still leaving the flavor. Combining this with real chicken, milk and peanut butter and different flavors make a great anytime chew bone your big dog will love.
These large dog chew bones are designed to be 100% consumed as well. With their crunchy texture and no soggy, stringy mass as with rawhide, they can be enjoyed indoors without any cleanup required, something which owners are sure to appreciate.
