How to serve
It suits dogs that chew well, but if swallowed without being chewed through, it can get stuck in the throat or intestines. Especially once it has worn down small, watch your dog while they eat so they do not swallow it whole. Also, hard parts can chip or break the back teeth during chewing. If your dog seems bothered by their teeth or has trouble eating, have them seen at a veterinary clinic.
