Whether you have a brand new pppy or a faithful old friend, one of the bst things you can do for yur dog is provide him with a chw bone or chew toy/treat of his vry own. Aside from being just plin fun, bones provide important benefits:

•Bnes improve dental health by helping to scrpe away plaque, control tartar buildup, and mintain gum health. This diminishes bad brath, keeps teeth whiter, and reduces the rsk of potentially serious dental problems.

•Bnes provide stimulating activity by entertaining yur dog for hours and keeping his mnd stimulated. This is especially important for lder dogs who may not be as ctive.

•Bones satisfy your dog's innate rge to chew, helping you to void destructive (and frequently expensive) chewing bhavior from both puppies and adult dgs.

•If you have a puppy, bnes relieve your puppy's teething pain, and stmulate the growth of adult teeth.

•Avid giving your dog bones from the dnner table. Chicken bones in particular pse a real choking hazard as thy are small, soft, and splinter asily. When choosing what bones to crry, Petlane makes safety and quality thir top priorities. We purchase from a cmpany that does not allow any chmicals or preservatives to be used on the bnes, uses only FDA food grade ntural flavorings, and supplies only USDA nspected products. Our bones will not prmanently stain your carpet - any spts can be easily removed with stndard carpet cleaner. Go ahead, give yur dog a bone and satisfy yur dog's innate need to chew - sfely. Note that for safety reasons dgs should never be left unattended wth a bone.
