Why is the knotted bone the best chew bone for dogs?
Every dog owner knows that their companion loves to gnaw on bones. However, leftover bones from your meals are absolutely not recommended for your pets, mainly due to the risk of choking. Indeed, some bones are far too thin to be safely given to dogs (chicken bones, rabbit bones). As for cooked bones, even if they are large enough for your dog to chew, they are simply dangerous because cooking weakens them and makes them very brittle. These bones can cause numerous health problems for your faithful companion.
To please your dog, you can choose BF Petfood bones because they are made exclusively from premium quality beef subcutaneous hide. This eliminates the risks we just mentioned. This raw beef subcutaneous hide comes from the subcutaneous tissues and has not undergone any chemical treatment . Furthermore, it is highly digestible for our pets. Unlike bones you find in pet stores or some online retailers, BF Petfood chew bones for dogs are handmade, strictly adhering to the BRC Global Standard for Food Safety (BRC Food). In addition, we guarantee snacks free from chemical treatment, additives, bleaching, coloring, and, most importantly, glue.
What are the benefits of regular use?
Answer yes or no: Is your dog bored? Does he have bad breath? If you answered yes to at least one question, a knotted dog chew will help you solve these problems. And for good reason: by choosing to give your companion a Biofood dog chew, you will:
- Keep him occupied for several hours;
- Improve your oral hygiene.
Your dog's activity
As you probably know, keeping your dog occupied seems quite easy given the wide variety of enrichment toys available on the market to prevent boredom. You have the most well-known ones, such as plastic toys to fill (for example, those from the Kong brand), but also buffalo horns, deer antlers, or even puzzle toys.
However, it's important to do your research before giving this type of toy to your four-legged friend. Firstly, plastic toys deteriorate very quickly, even the most durable ones, and in the long run, your pet risks ingesting pieces of plastic. These will be difficult for them to digest and eliminate. Secondly, there are buffalo horns and deer antlers.
Warning, these treats are not without risk, as they are too hard: broken teeth, bleeding, splinters, gum pain, etc.
You can avoid these problems for your dog by offering them a knotted chew bone that's the right size for them. Our bones are durable enough to provide your pet with a long chewing experience, but not too hard, so they can maintain healthy teeth.
Improved oral hygiene
For us humans, brushing our teeth is essential for maintaining good oral hygiene. The same is true for our dogs! It's just as important to care for your dog's teeth to prevent the proliferation of bacteria, tartar buildup, and even gum recession.
Once again, you can rely on knotted chew bones for dogs! By chewing on their treat, your companion will:
- Slow down the progression of tartar;
- Prevent the formation of tartar;
- Get better breath!
Is there a health risk associated with a natural chewable bone?
There's always a risk, because zero risk doesn't exist. However, this risk is the same whether your dog chews on a stick, a calf's hoof, a BF Petfood bone, its kibble, or a tasty treat. It's absolutely essential to supervise your pet at all times while it's eating or chewing something. If you keep a close eye on it, the risks are lower, and you can watch it enjoy its delicious treat with peace of mind. Furthermore, if your dog tends to gulp down its food without taking the time to chew it properly, this type of treat is definitely not suitable. Indeed, if the dog doesn't take the time to chew its treat, the risk of choking is very high. Don't take the risk and find another solution.
We advise you to always choose the size of the bone according to your dog's jaw. It's better to choose a bone that's too big than one that's too small. When only a small piece remains, remove it and discard it.
However, choosing the most natural chew bone possible prevents your dog from ingesting products such as bleach, glue or titanium dioxide (used to color commercially available chew bones).
4 sizes of chew bones for the enjoyment of small and large dogs
To choose the right size chew bone, consider several factors. Firstly, the size of your dog (small breed = small bone / large breed = large bone). Secondly, the strength of its jaw.
A powerful dog will need a larger bone. If you're hesitating between two sizes, always choose the larger one.
- Small knotted bone - approximately 8 to 10cm long by 5x5cm wide
- Medium Knot Bone - approximately 15 to 18cm long by 8x8cm wide
- Large knotted bone - approximately 23 to 26cm long by 8x8cm wide
- EXTRA-LARGE KNOTED BONE - approximately 35 to 38cm long by 12x12cm wide
Also be aware that it is possible for two bones of the same size to be different, because they are knotted by hand.
