From what age can a puppy have chews?
From about the tenth week, once the puppy is used to solid food. At first soft items such as chew sticks or meat cubes, from teething onwards (month four to seven) also coffee wood or chew root in a small size. Always under supervision, and take the chew away as soon as it is small enough to be swallowed.
Which chews are unsuitable for puppies?
Anything that splinters or is harder than the tooth: cooked bones, antler, beef horn, large horse bones. Milk teeth and freshly erupted permanent teeth can break on them. Very fatty items such as pig ears also burden the puppy stomach.
Coffee wood for puppies: yes or no?
Yes, in the smallest size and under supervision. Coffee wood frays while chewing instead of splintering, and it is calorie free. During teething, chewing soothes the itching in the gums. Replace as soon as the piece is smaller than the mouth.
Treats for puppies: what to look for?
Small, soft, from a single animal species and without sugar. Puppies get many rewards a day in training, so every calorie counts. Soft cubes of horse or goose can be halved and are eaten fast, so the puppy stays focused.
