How do bones and chews help prevent negative chewing behavior?
Rawhide chips satisfy your dog’s innate urge to chew. They also help to relieve teething pain, giving your puppy a beneficial (and acceptable) item to gnaw on when teething. If you encourage your dog to chew on rawhide or other appropriate chewing items from puppyhood on, chances are he’ll choose those over your shoes, books, or the television remote. Chewing rawhide is wonderful for removing plaque from your dog’s teeth and keeping them cleaner. This in turn, may help stop or slow periodontal disease, a significant problem in many adult dogs.
