Taking care of our dog's health and well-being is essential, and this includes providing a balanced diet tailored to their needs. BF Petfood dog chew bones offer a tasty and beneficial solution to satisfy your companion's natural instincts while providing nutritional advantages.
Dog bones? Good idea or bad idea?
Dog bones are essential for dental health. Without proper care and information, many dogs will develop oral diseases.
The first sign of periodontal disease is often bad breath or loss of appetite. The consequences are insidious. A dog doesn't necessarily show that it's in pain, which can be dangerous for its long-term health. To take care of your dog's teeth, it's essential that it has several opportunities to chew throughout the day.
Proper chewing depends first and foremost on a good diet. Checking the quality of your dog's food is essential. However, food alone is often not enough. Therefore, you need to help your dog learn to chew.
Dangers of poor dentition in dogs
Just like humans, dogs can suffer from poor dental health. The consequences can be disastrous for their mood, behavior, and overall health. Poor dental health shortens a dog's lifespan. In fact, 80% of dogs have dental problems by the age of three!
Periodontal diseases affect dogs in various ways. The consequences are diverse. When bacteria become too prevalent in a dog's mouth, stagnate, and become established, you may observe:
- bad breath
- a lack of appetite
- complaints from your dog
- excessive salivation
- pain
- changes in behavior (aggression, mood swings)
- Gingivitis, which is an inflammation of the gums
- periodontitis
- tooth loss
- the spread of serious infections affecting the liver, lungs and heart
Having the right habits to preserve your dog's teeth
To maintain good oral hygiene in your dog, it's essential to establish good habits from a young age. Here's what you can do to help:- Nutrition: A good, balanced, and healthy diet is the first thing to pay attention to. This quality food facilitates the dog's natural chewing process.
- Brushing your dog's teeth: use a dog toothbrush. Get your dog used to it when they're very young; it will be easier. Few owners brush their dog's teeth, yet, just like with humans, it's a sure way to prevent tartar buildup.
- Use toys that the dog can chew without getting hurt. (Avoid antlers/deer hooves, bleached bones (leather), plastic toys, any crumbly or brittle toys)
- Take your dog to a veterinary dentist at least once or twice a year. Having your dog's teeth cleaned is normal and even recommended if your dog has excessive tartar buildup. While dental cleanings are sometimes viewed negatively in dogs, if performed by a canine dental specialist, there is no risk of damaging your pet's teeth.
- Supplement your dog's diet with natural chew bones. They're easy to give and dogs really enjoy chewing on them.

BIOFOOD chew bones are made from thick, naturally dried bovine hides (connective tissue). The raw hide is carefully washed and cleaned with a low concentration of hydrogen peroxide (approximately 2.5%) to eliminate any potentially present bacteria. This prevents the transmission of disease. This minimal amount of hydrogen peroxide is removed by a thorough washing with water during processing. At this stage, another quality control check is performed to ensure the product is completely safe and harmless.
Finally, the hides come from Central and South America (therefore grade A). Unlike most chew bones, which are made from hides sourced from Asia (grade B and C), where the hides are processed multiple times and contain additives, metals, glue, or chlorine, all of which are harmful to a dog's health.
BIOFOOD guarantees the superior quality of its bones. That's why BIOFOOD dog bones are the 100% safe solution for your furry friend. They are healthy toys/treats that allow dogs to enjoy themselves while maintaining good dental health.
