Dogs of all sizes love to chew, but every dog has a unique chewing style. 

Choosing the right size chews can prevent choking and digestive issues, ensuring a safe, enjoyable experience with Ella's Emporium chews and treats.

Tips for Choosing Safe Dog Chews

• Choose hard chews slightly wider than their mouth for safe chewing.

• Always supervise your dog with new chews or treats.

• Remove small pieces that could cause blockages.

• Provide fresh water to support digestion.

• The right chew size keeps your pup happy, healthy, and safe!

Passive Chewers: Gentle Nibblers

• Passive chewers (or gentle nibblers) enjoy taking their time with treats.

• They savor each bite, akin to food critics analyzing flavors.

• These dogs are often less food-motivated and may prefer treats with strong smells or tastes.

• A gentle nibbler might spend 30-45 minutes chewing a bully stick, instead of devouring it in one sitting.

• Passive chewers are less likely to swallow large pieces or eat too quickly.

• Supervision is still essential to ensure a safe chewing experience with their favorite Ella's Emporium Treat.

Moderate Chewers: Average Chewers

• Moderate (or average) chewers enjoy chewing but won't destroy toys or finish treats quickly.
  

• Many adult dogs are moderate chewers.

• With the right product, moderate chewers are food-motivated and ready for a good chew session.
  

• A variety pack of different products can help you determine what your pup enjoys nibbling on.

• Check out Chew Level: Medium for your average chewers! You can always level up If you're looking for a chew that lasts a little longer.

Aggressive Chewers: Built for Power

• Power chewers have strong jaws and can easily destroy toys and treats not designed for intense chewing.

• These super chewers need durable, long-lasting chews that satisfy their instinct to gnaw.

• Often food-motivated, power chewers may swallow large pieces, posing a choking risk.

• Always supervise power chewers while they chew.

• Avoid overly hard treats, like antlers or weight bearing bones, to prevent potential dental damage.

• Choose tough, safe options specifically designed for aggressive chewers.
