What are the benefits of dogs chewing bones? Don t believe me if I tell you

Don’t know the benefits of dogs chewing bones? In fact, it mainly helps dogs grind their teeth, reduce bad breath, supplement calcium, reduce destructive power, etc. However, owners should also pay attention to choosing relatively large bones for dogs to chew, such as large bones from pigs, cows, and sheep. Do not use chicken bones or fish bones to prevent dogs from swallowing them quickly, causing esophageal obstruction or even scratching the intestines. At the same time, you should also be careful not to chew your dog for too long. Generally, you can chew it for about 20-40 minutes at a time.

1. Help dogs grind their teeth

Dogs’ teeth grinding period is generally between 3 and 8 months old. Due to the hard texture of bones, dogs can grind their teeth by chewing on bones during this period and promote the growth of teeth. It can also exercise the dog’s bite ability and increase the dog’s chewing function. However, it is not recommended to feed dogs small and sharp bones to avoid scratching or blocking the esophagus and gastrointestinal tract.

2. Reduce bad breath

When a dog chews bones, it will rub the surface of the teeth, increase the cleaning of the dog's teeth, reduce the occurrence of dental calculus in the dog, keep the mouth clean, and reduce the smell of the dog's mouth. Of course, if possible, the owner can also switch to a dog snack that can grind teeth, which can also remove bad breath and prevent dental calculus!

3. Calcium supplementation

Bones contain a large amount of calcium, so chewing bones also has a calcium-replenishing effect on dogs to a certain extent. But if you want to supplement calcium for your dog, it is recommended that calcium supplements are most effective.

4. Reduce destructive power

Dog chewing bones can also divert its attention and reduce its destructive power at home, especially for energetic dogs like huskies.
