Dogs can’t clean their teeth like people do (unless assisted), so it’s important to do what is necessary to keep a dog’s teeth healthy and free from decay. In the past, dogs kept their teeth clean through chewing bones, however, bones can have sharp edges, and if swallowed, can cause serious damage to a dog’s stomach and intestinal tract. Instead of giving a dog a traditional bone for teeth cleaning, give them nylon dog toys. Nylon is much safer than bone for a dog, even if swallowed. There are also flavored nylon dog bones available that most dogs love to chew on. There are some dog treats that can also help to clean a dog’s teeth.
When a dog is chewing a bone, whether nylon or not, it’s best to take it away from them after it is chewed down to a small size capable of being swallowed. Even if it passes through their stomach without causing damage, there’s also the danger of the dog choking on the bone while trying to swallow it.
