Can I feed my puppy bones and treats?Updated a year ago

We have a great range of treats, perfect for puppies! Our frozen Beef Jerky is a popular choice for training, as are our yummy frozen Lamb Lites. For those who struggle with freezer space, we have a great range of Ambient treats to choose from too but you will find further details of our all our Treats & Bones here.

We do not recommend introducing our small or Large Play bones to puppies until they have all their adult teeth but for teething puppies, our Lamb Spines are another great choice.

Ensure that your puppy has been fed Natural Instinct for a month before introducing a recreational bone into their diet.

Always follow the three ‘S’s’ when feeding bones.  

  • Supervise- ensure that your puppy is always supervised.  
  • Separate- in multi pet households ensure that pets are separated to avoid conflict.  
  • Size- You may initially have to teach your puppy to eat bones. Start with a bone larger than the size of your pet’s head to ensure it can’t be swallowed whole.
