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!

Yes, however, anything that is hard has the potential to break a dog's teeth. You want to make sure it's large enough to be a rounded surface, rather than a flat one that your dog is chewing on (based on their mouth size). It's also important to limit calories from treats to less than 10% of total daily calorie intake.

This depends on the type of treat. Most brands should have an age range on the bag.. Treats should not be too big that they can't be easily chewed sand bones should not be given until adult teeth are present at 6months plus

My personal preference is compressed rawhide (not regular rawhide). Pig ears and Nylabones are OK too. Any of these types of treats you give them should only be given supervised. Antlers are not recommended - they are too hard and often break their teeth. Same with cow hooves. https://www.petsupplies.com/dog-supplies/rawhide-bones/pressed-rawhide/9398/

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Chewing is a normal but frustrating part of puppy development. I do not recommend rawhides or dogbones for puppies, as they can cause an upset tummy or large pieces can get swallowed and cause a GI obstruction. A great option for chewing puppies are ice cubes. You can mix together water and a small amount of low sodium chicken broth to give them flavoring, which are great options for chewing! Kong toys or other rubber toys are a great option, and they can be filled with peanut butter or spray cheese, then put in the freezer o allow them to last longer. Puzzle toys (such as busy buddy, etc) can also be great options. Good luck!
