This bone is not your average rawhide. Actually it is not a rawhide at all! It is SmartBones® – the next generation dog chew!
Don’t give me that look… let me finish!
SmartBones has all the benefits of a rawhide, but it is without the rawhide. After research was done on rawhide bones, it was discovered that dogs don’t digest them very well and they may cause intestinal blockages! Ick, that’s not good, poor pups!
Many veterinarians are concerned with the potential health risks, and that’s why the makers of SmartBones wanted to find a healthy alternative to rawhides. Shortly after, SmartBones were invented! And let the statistics speak for themselves, independent tests demonstrate that 9 out of 10 dogs prefer SmartBones chews over the leading rawhide chews!
Please note, I usually always take statistics with a grain of salt, until I have proven them too! So I did my own test on my dog! Let me tell you she went crazy over these dog chews! I took her about 15 minutes to finish one SmartBone! My dog enjoyed the 3 Great Flavors: Chicken, Peanut Butter and Dental (extra teeth benefits), all of which are made with real chicken and vegetables! Literally they had her doing backflips!
She is not doing backflips in this picture because she is being verrrrry patient!
SmartBones come in 4 Sizes (based on dog’s weight):
- * Mini – small dog breeds under 10 pounds
- * Small – small dog breeds 11-20 pounds
- * Medium – dog breeds 20 – 40 pounds
- * Large – dog breeds over 40 pounds
SmartBones Features:
- Great taste
- 99.2% digestible
- Safe – rawhide-free
- Made with real, dried chicken breast
- Chewing activity promotes healthy dental care
- First chew of its kind to be fortified with vitamins and minerals
- In my opinion, one of the greatest features of this bone is the last one listed, the fact they are fortified with vitamins and minerals. By having vitamins and minerals in the dog chew, your dog’s total diet (along with healthy food) will be nutritionally balanced.
- Rawhide and many other chews don’t have the luxury to do this. In fact, even though rawhide analyzes as over 80% protein, the protein is of such poor quality that it is actually “unavailable protein” and has almost zero nutritive value for a dogs body.
That’s why SmartBones chews are Smart!
