When Can Pups Chow Down on Chomping Chews?
As a responsible pup parent, you’re probably wondering when your furry friend can start chowing down on those tasty treats - aka bones!
The answer lies in the age and dental development of your canine companion. Here’s what you need to know:
- Puppies (0-6 months): Absolutely no bones, please! Pups are still developing their teeth and jaws, so it’s crucial to keep those chomping chews away from tiny teeth.
- Junior Pups (6-12 months): As they grow, you can introduce small, soft bones or raw hides under close supervision. Monitor for any signs of discomfort or choking hazards.
- Adolescent Pups (1-2 years): Now we’re talking! Your pup’s adult teeth are almost fully developed, making them ready to crunch on some tasty chews. Start with small, medium-sized bones and gradually introduce larger ones as needed.
Remember, every pup is different, so always observe your furry friend’s behavior and adjust accordingly. If you notice any signs of discomfort, choking, or digestive issues, consult with your local vet for personalized advice!
Check-in Time:
Before introducing bones to your pup’s menu, check in with your local veterinarian for more specific guidance tailored to your pet’s unique needs and situation.
Happy chomping, and don’t forget to keep those teeth clean!
