How to Choose the Right Chew for Your Pet's Age & Size

Not all chews are created equal. Puppies, adults, and seniors all have different chewing needs. This guide helps pet parents pick the safest and most enjoyable option from Slurvo's wide product range.

For Puppies (0-12 months)

Puppies have delicate teeth and gums that are still developing. Choose:

• Soft Chews: Gentle on developing teeth
• Size-Appropriate: Small enough to handle comfortably
• Digestible: Easy on sensitive stomachs
• Teething-Friendly: Soothes sore gums

For Adult Dogs (1-7 years)

Adult dogs have strong teeth and active chewing needs:

• Durable Chews: Longer-lasting for aggressive chewers
• Variety: Different textures and flavors for engagement
• Dental Benefits: Chews that help maintain oral health
• Size-Matched: Appropriate for your dog's breed and size

For Senior Dogs (7+ years)

Older dogs may have dental sensitivities or reduced jaw strength:

• Softer Options: Easier to chew with aging teeth
• Functional Benefits: Joint support, digestive health
• Smaller Sizes: Easier to handle and consume
• Highly Digestible: Gentle on aging digestive systems

Size Matters

Always choose chews appropriate for your dog's size:

• Small Breeds: Chews they can comfortably hold and chew
• Medium Breeds: Moderate-sized, satisfying chews
• Large Breeds: Bigger, longer-lasting options

Safety Tips

Always supervise your dog while chewing, provide fresh water, and remove any small pieces that could be choking hazards.
