The Ultimate Guide to Dog Chews at Lenny's Pup Shop: From Puppies to Seniors

At Lenny's Pup Shop, we understand that every stage of a dog's life comes with unique dietary and chewing needs. That's why we've curated a selection of premium dog chews designed to cater to puppies, adults, and senior dogs. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll delve into the benefits of each type of chew we offer – shark cartilage, kangaroo teeth cleansers, bully sticks, and kangaroo ears – and help you choose the best options for your furry friend, no matter their age.

Shark Cartilage

Shark cartilage is a natural, nutrient-rich chew that offers numerous health benefits. It's packed with glucosamine and chondroitin, which are essential for joint health.

Benefits:

  • Puppies: While shark cartilage is generally suitable for all ages, it's particularly beneficial for puppies in their teething phase. The chew helps soothe gums and provides essential nutrients that support growing joints.
  • Adult Dogs: For adult dogs, shark cartilage serves as a healthy treat that supports joint health and mobility, especially in active breeds.
  • Senior Dogs: Senior dogs can greatly benefit from the joint-supporting properties of shark cartilage. It helps maintain flexibility and reduces the discomfort associated with arthritis and other joint issues.

    Roo Teeth Cleansers

    Roo cleansers are made from kangaroo bones and are excellent for dental hygiene. They are low in fat and high in protein, making them a healthy option for all dogs.

    Benefits:

    • Puppies: While Roo cleansers can be too hard for very young puppies, they are excellent for older puppies who are transitioning to adult teeth. The hard texture helps remove plaque and tartar.
    • Adult Dogs: Adult dogs benefit from the dental cleaning properties of roo cleansers. Regular chewing can help prevent dental diseases and maintain healthy gums.
    • Senior Dogs: For senior dogs, roo cleansers should be given with caution to avoid damaging aging teeth. However, they can still be beneficial for maintaining dental health if the dog has strong teeth.

      Bully Sticks

      Bully sticks are a favourite among dogs for their taste and chewiness. They are made from high-protein beef muscle and are easily digestible.

      Benefits:

      • Puppies: Bully sticks are ideal for teething puppies. They are tough enough to provide a satisfying chew but gentle on young teeth and gums. This is best given 5-10 minutes of chewing at a time.
      • Adult Dogs: For adult dogs, bully sticks offer a long-lasting chew that helps clean teeth and provide mental stimulation. They are also great for keeping dogs occupied.
      • Senior Dogs: Senior dogs can enjoy bully sticks as they are easy to chew and digest. They offer a safe way for older dogs to keep their teeth clean and gums healthy.

        Roo Ears

        Roo ears are a natural, low-fat treat made from kangaroo ears. They are rich in protein and provide a crunchy texture that dogs love. Don’t mind the fur! It actually aids in cleaning out your pup’s teeth and gums.

        Benefits:

        • Puppies: Roo ears are perfectly light, chewy and suitable for puppies who need something to chew on. They help with teething and provide a good source of protein.
        • Adult Dogs: Adult dogs enjoy Roo ears for their crunchy texture and to help maintain dental hygiene. They are a healthy alternative to traditional chews like; pig’s ears, as they are so low in fat and very high in protein.
        • Senior Dogs: For senior dogs, roo ears are a gentle yet satisfying chew. They are easy to digest and help keep teeth clean without being too tough on aging jaws.
