Aesop dislikes chewing..give him something even as simple as a chicken nugget and he'll act like you expect him to hold a mouthful of pudding. He'll mouth it until it falls out. I've given him marrow bones and he ends up just licking them. He does chew kibble and cookies (but they must be small cookie pieces) I gave him a rib bone today w meat and he thought that was great..I had to take the meat part off..he doesn't gnaw things. But he ate the meat and then did chew the bone. I took it away when he got the end gnawed more than just a bit in case there were sharp pieces and he didn't chew thoroughly or somesuch.
I noticed a tiny bit of tartar on a tooth today. He's just a pup, far too young for that!
What are some bones that are both small (the only store where I can buy marrow bones won't cut them smaller for me to make them 'pup pup friendly';) yet aren't inappropriate for larger dogs, AND work well for dental health.
As a note..his bite is fine...he just doesn't like to chew things
ETA also that the dog who won't chew food items has no problem chewing up cardboard and plastic cups
