Small dogs love to chew just as much as big dogs, but a chew built for a Labrador is too big and too hard for a Chihuahua. The right chew for a small dog is thinner, shorter and easier to manage.
What to look for in a small dog chew
- Thin and short: 5" chews fit comfortably in small mouths.
- Easy to break down: lighter chews are easier for small jaws and for puppies who are still teething.
- Simple ingredients: single-ingredient beefhide with no preservatives.
Our picks for small dogs
5" Rawhide Twist Sticks
Classic twists in beef, chicken or a beef and chicken mix, 100 per pack. They give small dogs a satisfying chew and help keep teeth clean.
Chicken Wrapped and Coated Twists
Extra flavor for picky eaters: chicken wrapped twists and chicken coated twists.
5" Munchy Treat Sticks
Crunchy snap-sticks that break into smaller pieces, which makes them great for puppies, training rewards and very small breeds. Available in beef, chicken and a mixed pack.
Chews for puppies
Puppies chew to explore and to soothe teething. Give them a chew sized for their mouth, start with short supervised sessions, and break munchy sticks into small pieces for very young pups. Check with your vet about when your puppy is ready for rawhide.
Calm, quiet chew time
A chew gives small dogs something to focus on, which can help with boredom, restlessness and nuisance chewing around the house.
Safety first
- Always supervise chew time.
- Take away small leftover pieces.
- Keep fresh water nearby.
- Treat chews as treats, not meals.
