Choosing and supervising a veal shank chew
Veal shanks are firm natural bone chews often chosen for medium and large dogs, but breed alone does not determine suitability. Match the actual piece to your dog’s mouth size, teeth and chewing behaviour. Small dogs may find a shank too large, while a powerful gulper may try to swallow unsafe pieces.
Chewing may provide mechanical abrasion against the teeth, but it cannot guarantee plaque or tartar removal and does not replace toothbrushing or veterinary dental care. Natural bones can crack teeth or cause choking, blockage or injury.
- Supervise every chewing session and provide fresh drinking water.
- Use a piece larger than your dog’s mouth and appropriate for their chewing style.
- Remove the chew when it becomes small, sharp, splintered or easy to swallow.
- Do not give to dogs that gulp treats. Ask your veterinarian before offering to puppies under six months, senior dogs, or dogs with dental or digestive concerns.
Feeding and storage
Offer occasionally as a treat alongside a complete and balanced diet. Treat calories should generally stay within 10% of your dog’s daily intake. Adjust the main meal as needed. Store sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and reseal after opening.
