Sheep Line puppy chew bone 12 cm

A puppy chew bone needs above all to be smaller, and that's exactly why the 12 cm Sheep Line was created. Each one is based on sheep, a protein that's rare in a dog's diet, and they differ in their additions: vanilla, broccoli, pear and a variant in salmon skin with blackberry. A shorter bone is lighter and handier, so a young dog holds it more easily and learns faster to work on it. Below I explain why size matters at this age and how to introduce the first chew.

Why should a puppy chew bone be shorter?

A 12 cm puppy chew bone is simply easier to master. A chew in adult dog size can be too heavy and too long for a young dog, making it harder for them to steady it with their paws and start chewing steadily.

The shorter form solves this problem, and also lets you give your dog their first chew earlier than if you waited until they could manage the full size. The act of chewing itself satisfies a natural need that's especially strong in puppies, and gives your dog something to do at moments when they'd otherwise find it themselves, for example on the table legs.

  • Sheep with vanilla: a variant described as intended for puppies.
  • Sheep with broccoli: a vegetable addition, mild in taste.
  • Sheep with pear: a slightly sweet fruity note.
  • Sheep in salmon skin with blackberry: a combination of meat and fish, the strongest aroma in the line.

Sheep-based puppy chew bones

The puppy chew bones in this line have one thing in common: they're all built on sheep. Sheep-based puppy chew bones are a considered choice, because it's a protein a young dog usually hasn't come across yet.

This has a double value that only shows over time. First, a rare protein is less likely to cause reactions in dogs sensitive to popular types of meat. Second, it's worth keeping a few types of meat for later, in case your dog ever needs a diet with a short ingredient list. If you're looking for the same approach in a larger size, take a look at dog chew bones.

A sheep bone for dogs: how to introduce the first chew

A sheep bone for dogs given for the first time should go to your dog when you're at home. The sheep bone for dogs is first given to a young dog briefly, to see how they cope with it, and only then left for longer.

It's also good to choose a moment when your dog is calm, not running around, because then they'll understand more quickly what the chew is for. The first serving is best kept to a few minutes, taking the bone away before your dog gets bored of it, because then they'll come back to it with more interest next time. Over time, the sessions can be extended until the chew becomes a fixed point in your dog's day. The chew also works as an alternative during the phase when a puppy chews everything around them. When your dog grows up and starts working their teeth confidently, the natural next step is the other items in dog chews, above all chew skins for dogs, which soften while chewing. You'll know it's time for a bigger size when your dog finishes the chew in one short session and looks for the next one.
