Can this size be used for a puppy? (I can break them up of course) or is the soft peanut butter from the tube a better choice?

You can break these up really easily. I use them to place in the king toy, but also break them up sometimes as treats.

If you are using them in the Kong toy the puppy will have the break it up before he/she can get it out. You will be fine.

They are soft, and I have feed them to my friend's puppy. you can break them in half to make them even smaller.

I have a toy poodle puppy and he has already taken a sizeable chunk out on one Kong...he only gets the new one with a treat and as soon as the treat is eaten the Kong it's put up...I'd be wary when making a purchase ...possible that the really big ones are stronger?

I think he'll be just fine, especially since he is a puppy. One of my dogs is just over 20 pounds and she does great with them. More important than the size of the dog would be the condition of his teeth and the strength of his bite. Since yours is a puppy, these may work until he needs the larger size. Another option is to buy the larger size and just give him half a stick. They break easily.

No. It just says recommended feeding 2-4 per day but nothing about weight. My pups are 9lbs and 60lbs. I give them one each, broken in half inside a Kong with a little bit of peanut butter before I leave the house. Sometimes I'll do that before bed too but usually I give them Pet Naturals of Vermont Calming before bed because my Lab used to have nightmares. Same thing basically; for calming, but he sleeps through the night with the Pet Naturals one. So I do Chill Out in the day and Pet Naturals at night. If you go that route, I found it cheaper to buy the Pet Naturals for med-lg dogs and give the little one half and the big one a full one instead of buying the ones for small dogs too.

I think it depends on how strong of a chewer he is. My dog was #105 & we used the medium, because the larger ones the treats fell out of.

I don't have the extra small, but I would guess that any kind of kibble would be fine. It's easy to get it in, because the bottom unscrews. The trick is for the dog to get it out -- it has to be sort of pulled out with the rope. My puppy hasn't gotten the hang of it yet. On the large dog size, the neck is big enough for any kibble you would put in... what we use is maybe 3/8" in diameter.

Michelle, if your puppy doesn't mind the weight of the Goughnut it would be great. Mine seems to think it's too heavy, so she doesn't bother with it... ours will last forever.

I would get small for a pup that is no older than 6 or 8 months. Medium for older dogs so that the grooves on the ball don't become too accessible for the dog to rip it apart. The balls are pretty sturdy but not indestructible. The whistling rubber design is so that the dog can detect which direction the ball is flying. The balls won't last much longer than tennis balls if the dog is allowed to chew on them. Good luck.

Wish I could help you but I don't have the package anymore. I use all Zuke's treats for training and if they are too large or if I am watching our 60# Labradoodle's weight, I just break them in half or quarters. He is just finishing a package of Mini Naturals which are really small and only 2.87 calories per treat.

The beef you have to use a scissors or knife or some strong finger tips, but they are fantastic for training treats! Buy the chicken liver freeze dried and you will be pleased! I buy them too and I can break them with ease. Good luck.

Have you tried using peanut butter? That might be sticky enough to last for a while. I haven't used peanut butter in the bone, but I've used it other toys. Milkbone marrow treats fit, my dog gets out in about 30 seconds. Have tried Snausages treats as well, but those only last 15 minutes or so. Good Luck!

Some of the bones we ordered our airdale will chew it down but not eat it. If little bits are coming off you May want to try a real baby teething toy for your puppy. The soft rubber maybe slightly tougher and not as easy to bite through like a dog toy. Just in case I would still keep an eye on your little baby until you notice that he/she can't penetrate the rubber teething chew toy. Just another idea. The softer the rubber toy is the puppy will not get bored. Another great way to use that teething toy is to put it in the freezer for five to 10 minutes. The cold soothes the puppies gums. Just an idea for you.Good luck. Some of the bones we ordered our airdale will chew it down but not eat it. If little bits are coming off you May want to try a real baby teething toy for your puppy.

I wouldn't think it's breakable. It might be too thick for a dog the size of yours as well. I purchased a medium one for a friend's 60 pound lab and it was a good size for him. My lab is over 80 pounds and the large one is the right thickness and sturdiness for her.

They have the petite size which would be a good size for a 10 lb baby, they are long and should keep her busy for a bit. Also I think they are a little easier to digest for lil stomachs. I would try that and then the mediums if she goes thru them to easily. Sometimes the larger chews can be too thick to cut. I hope this helps, I used to tech at a Veterinary office and we had samples so you could see what worked best for the critters, check with your Veterinarian and see if they have some samples. Amazon does have some of the best pricing on the CET chews.

They are about fist size... I don't think they could be swallowed whole by mistake. My 73 lbs shepherd mix loved these.

this is pretty strong stuff to use on a puppy- i agree with the 1st response- tho is for use with attack, not training- a squirt bottle and puppy kindergarten are better answers
