I’ve only ever given my seven month old puppy one other bone before. The brand is Good Lovin’ Dog Chews and it was one of those bones stuffed with peanut butter flavored filling.
Today I bought him a hickory smoked bone from the same brand and as soon as he started chewing on it out of the package it split in two (long ways, so the halves look like half circles). He is not an aggressive or strong chewer, we have soft toys he’s played with and chewed on for months that don’t look chewed.
At first I let him chew one half but then it looked like he was chewing on a small piece. I’m not sure if the bone further split or if he’d taken off a strip of the “skin” flavoring. I took it away but because the bone isn’t a perfect shape so I’m still not sure if a smaller chunk came off or not.
Obviously small pieces are choking hazards and bad, but is this normal for bones to split this way? Seems like…no?
