Rawhide chews are made from the skin of cattle or pork that has been prepared and dried to make it edible for dogs.Easily digestible rawhide bones are available at Petco in a wide array of shapes and can often contain added flavors to entice your pup.

Easily digestible rawhide for dogs is created as a long-lasting chew option. It works by slowly breaking down into soft pieces as your dog chews. But, if your pup is a stronger chewer, they could break off bigger chunks that cause potential health hazards like choking or intestinal blockages. For dogs that are soft chewers, this isn’t as much of a concern. Always monitor your pet while they enjoy their rawhide chews to keep them safe.

When it comes to finding the dog bone treat that works best for your pup, you know best. There are various options—from flavored dog bones to antler bones for dogs—that your pet can sample with your supervision.

Take note of your dog’s chewing style as well as their size. If your canine is a power chewer, not every dog chew bone will be appropriate for them. Harder options—like antler bones for dogs—may be too hard on the teeth of an aggressive chewer. If your pet is on the larger side, they may finish some treats so quickly that they can’t fully enjoy them. Larger dogs should consume larger chews to make sure the bones aren’t so small that they become a choking hazard.

Consult your veterinarian to help you find the best treat for your dog’s specific health and wellness needs. If you need more tips on how to pamper your pet, read our Dog Treats Guide or Dog Biscuits and Treats Product Guide.

You want to give your pup enough time to enjoy their chew, but not let them keep it too long. Chewing on dog bone treats should be monitored and not last any longer than an hour. 10- to 15-minutes at a time is often long enough for your pet to enjoy and chew on their treat.
