What benefits do raw dog bones and chews provide?

As well as high-quality nutrition, consuming food is also about enjoyment. Dogs tend to be hunters and are carnivores by nature, which means that they get great enjoyment from experiencing natural, raw bones, and chews. 

Chewing and gnawing are behaviours that naturally release endorphins and give your dog a satisfying feeling which is great for their mental health. This means that you should not hesitate to encourage this kind of behaviour.

However, it is important that you do not feed cooked bones to your dog but instead choose raw dog bones made for canines. Our in-house canine nutritionists carefully select which ingredients are used for our raw dog bones and chews, so they are packed with supplementary vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. 

Benefits of giving your dog raw bones

There are many benefits to giving your dog a raw bone, which is why we believe that you should encourage this type of chewing behaviour. However, remember that you should always supervise your dog with raw bones and chews. 

Benefits of providing healthy, natural, raw chews, and raw bones for dogs include:

Gives your dog the ability to explore new textures and sensations

Dogs get great pleasure from gaining different sensory experiences from their food, and a varied diet ensures that dogs remain interested in their meals and treats. As well as being greatly stimulating, dogs purely enjoy the challenges of ripping meat off of a bone, working for the marrow inside and the different textures of specialty dog treats and chews like turkey necks, beef tripe sticks, or antler bars.

Raw bones are helpful aids in training

Raw meaty bones for dogs and natural, raw chews are fantastic tools to keep your dog motivated during training without encouraging unnecessary overfeeding or weight gain. For that reason, feeding raw bones is a great alternative to treats and other snacks.

Teaching a dog the standard commands, such as sit, down, and stay, can be a daunting task. However, our raw dog bones and chews are great for positively reinforcing a desired behaviour. Dogs can be very food driven and so really thrive by receiving high-value food as a reward.

It helps tame unwanted chewing behaviour

Raw bones and chews can be an effective way to satisfy dogs’ - in particular puppies’ - natural, instinctive desire to chew in a safe and healthy way. Not only will they receive the mental stimulation and endorphin release that chewing and gnawing provides, but they will also get a boost of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that complement their core, raw diet. It will also encourage your dog to stick to only chewing dedicated items such as raw dog bones and chews, instead of personal items, which can cause a hazard.

Bones support oral strength and health

Anatomically, dogs are well equipped for eating meat from the bone. Whilst this is usually more of a treat than an everyday occurrence, it is a great idea to occasionally provide raw chews and bones for dogs. 

A dog’s teeth are designed to tear off meat from bones, and their strong jaw is able to crunch through bone. Nutriment's range of raw dog bones and treats helps to promote healthier teeth and gums in dogs, whether you opt for a tasty chicken neck or meaty lamb ribs..
