Dog Chew Safety

With the recent launch of some of our new chews, we would like to share some safety tips. Some customers have shared their hesitation to feed their fur baby any sort of chew, due to the concern of a choking hazard or being harmful to pets.

Rest assured, all BARF World products are safe to feed your pet. Before every launch, all products are tried by our own brand ambassadors to make sure they meet our standards. With any chews whether that be pizzles, cow hooves, elk antlers, etc., it is crucial to always monitor your dog and inspect the chew every so often.

Dog chewing on a treat as its owner holds one end

Taking it away from them periodically allows you to inspect the chew to prevent any splintering, or it becoming too small and being a potential choking hazard. This can be turned into a fun game by offering them a treat which allows you to then inspect the chew. Once it gets smaller, we recommend discarding and getting a new one. Most chews have the potential of splintering over time as they get tossed around and worn down by our avid chewers.

It is important to give chews that are appropriate for your dog. Keeping certain factors in mind such as the dog's size, age, health, and eating behavior should be taken into consideration when determining which chew is best. For example, I would not give my dog Jax (an adult white lab) a small antler. This would not be suitable for his size and would be a potential choking hazard.

Best chew for your pet:

Elk Small Split & Whole: 5-20 lb dogs such as a Beagle, Yorkshire Terrier or Long Haired Dachshund
Elk Medium Split & Whole: 20-40 lb dogs such as a Border Collie, Basset Hound or Corgi
Small & thin pizzles: 6” bully sticks perfect for smaller dogs
Large pizzles: 12” bully sticks perfect for larger dogs
Our new chew and fill set is perfect for all sized dogs and includes 8 cow hooves & a peanut butter for the ultimate snack!

We currently offer free personalized consultations to help walk anyone through this process and we will work with you to make recommendations based on your pet’s needs. Call today to redeem $5 off your pet’s favorite chew!
