Though flavor isnt needed as dogs love them on their own, it can add a bit of variety.
Redbarn Peanut Butter Flavor Meat Filled Bone
These bones are excellent! I love these because your dog will spend hours trying to get the filling out from the inside. Once they finally get it out you can refill it with peanut butter and give it to your dog again. Freeze it with the new peanut butter for it to last even longer. Some dogs are able to break it after a while but it usually lasts a long time before they do. Keep a few on hand and youll be set. These bones come in different flavors, like chicken and beef too.

There are several options for bones for dogs and just about all of them are great. Rawhide bones you have to be careful with as they can expand and cause blockages. Dogs love them but do be careful and limit their Rawhide intake.
Chews
Chews are a lot like bones, but dont last nearly as long, some only a few minutes depending on the chew. Still they are great to have around the house.

These can be great, they are made out of porkhide so you still want to be careful and limit their intake. A 20 pack of these, along with a few other chewing options can last you quite a while. Make sure your dog doesnt get too big of a chunk off and swallow the whole thing, get a size appropriate for your dog.
Rawhide Munchy Sticks Beef, 5" 100 Pack
These little Rawhide sticks are great. They are made with little pieces of rawhide so are safer for your dog to eat than the actual rawhide bones. Most dogs can eat these pretty quickly but they do tend to love them.

Ive mentioned Interactive toys many times through out my blog and have even showed you a few. Still Ill show you again. These toys are great because all you have to do is keep refilling them with your dogs food, treats, or smear some peanut butter on or in them.

Dogs also need just plain toys to chew on. Nylabone and interactive toys can also go as toys to chew on but things like rope toys and such are also great.

Mix a variety of these toys and chews together every day and keep your dog busy for hours on end. Offer one of each, 5 chew options is recommended, keep them on hand. Use interactive toys for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Toys, and bones for daily activity, chews for an afternoon snack. You can put any of them in your dogs kennel, room or ex-pen while they are in there. If your off to work, leave extras hidden around the house for your dog to find. Hide them in the yard even.
Having plenty of things for your dog to chew is a must at any age for your dog. Like I said in my article, chewing is like reading a good book or playing your favorite game to dogs. Let them chew, but make sure they are chewing the appropriate items! Adding any of these items to your house will help tremendously in keeping your house chew free.
