How to Use the Benebone Wishbone Safely
Follow these steps to get the most out of your Benebone Chicken Wishbone while keeping your dog safe.
- Check the size: The Medium Wishbone is best for dogs under 60 lbs. If your dog is larger, consider a bigger size. A chew that is too small can be a choking hazard.
- Supervise every session: Always watch your dog while they chew. Even durable nylon toys can wear down, and supervision lets you catch any issues early.
- Inspect for wear regularly: Small rice-sized flakes are normal. Replace the chew once it shows significant wear or larger pieces start to break off.
- Store safely between uses: Keep the chew in a clean, dry place. If you have multiple dogs, consider separate chews to prevent resource guarding.
What to Watch For
Benebones are tough, but no chew lasts forever. The supplied instructions note that small rice-sized flakes are normal, but you should replace the chew once it shows significant wear or larger pieces start to break off. Also, be aware that Benebones are made in a facility that processes nuts, including peanuts, so if your dog has a nut allergy, this may be a concern.
