Food & NutritionKyro is my 1st dog, half Pit & Lab, 2 1/2 years old, 85 lbs. His weight is perfect. He's a heavy chewier. I walk him a lot. He's chewed his way through 2 tires & working on a Nylar Bone & Elk Antler. What's the healthiest & long lasting chew Elk Antl
Thank you for submitting your question and congratulations on your first dog! Treats should not comprise more than 10% of the diet. They should be given in small amounts. If you are giving Milk Bones, by the tiny size and only give several a day. Most dogs in this country are overweight. Being strict with his diet from the start with help to prevent this from occurring with him. As far as the best chew, it is based on the individual dog. The chew needs to be something he enjoys, but more importantly something he cannot break pieces off and swallow. This can become a surgery to remove. I hope this information helps!
