What size dental bone do you give the dog weighing under 25 pounds? We could use more of a guideline regarding this.

The bag for the mini size says for dogs 5-15 lbs. I'm assuming the small size would be for a dog correspondingly larger.

I have a blue heeler mix that is about 40-50 lbs but he is a power chewer and hadn't put a dent in the bone yet... I Bellevue the black rubber is for up to 100 lb dogs

My dog is a 75 pound Ridgeback mix. The medium might be a better bet for dogs 10 to 25 pounds lighter.

Our dogs are 15 and 20 lbs and the small kong works well for them. We fill with dog kibbles and then soft dog food and freeze. Can also put other dog snacks inside so dogs have something to help them be less bored. Size might depend on how much of an agressive chewer your pup is and how you plan to use. Good luck in deciding.

We have a 20# Jack Rossell mix. She is rather long and has short legs. We are glad we got the medium rather than the small. A medium will easily handle 40# but I would look at your dog's height and length rather than weight. We are happy with are purchase.

I would say any dog between 10 and 15 lbs. I have a small dog, who weighs 5 lbs.

The best thing to do is just try them. You may have to try different doses-some dogs need more some less and it's not always based on size. Our dog is just over ten lbs and takes the med-large size chews.

I have Bloodhounds. Most are over 100 lbs and they are fine. I think it has more to do with energy level and pain tolerance rather than size.

My puppy is 6 months, 30 lbs, and I would classify her as a moderate chewer. She's had it for a little while now. I got her the "giant" one. It's not all that easy for her to bring around, but she learned how, and it is standing the test of a puppy who is growing molars. She mostly only uses it when she gets into really aggressive chewing spurts. She mostly uses stuffed animals (they don't last long, but she loves 'em), a rope, and a red Kong bone.

Today I gave my Shi Tzhu a home clipping and was shocked at how fat he got -- he's now 20lbs. How did this happen? What a dope I was. I've been giving him three dental chews a day for months now. Of course he gained four lbs or so. Will cut back to one daily.

My dogs are 80lbs and 140lbs. They each have a Benebone and are doing fine with them. My daughter's two dogs are 80lbs and 90lbs and doing ok with them. Both are chronic chewers of stolen items. We're each keeping an eye on the dogs with their bones. I believe that a bigger bone is in the works.

Bones are about 3"x1". Most of the recipes produce softer treats. Not too crunchy or hard. So I don't think choking is a concern. My 60# lab has no problems with them.

i would say no right off the bat but how small is small? there are weight limits- i wouldn't put it on any dog below 25 pounds

My dog was only 10 pounds and it was perfect for him. I do believe by looking and putting a little pressure on it, I would not use it if my dog weighed more than 25 pounds. Hope this helps.

Small dog such as a Bichon, Pug, Shitzu, etc about 25 pounds, but depends on size of neck and chest!Hope this helps! Jody

I can't find the stegosaurus right now but I would say from .25-.50 lbs. My pit mix is only 7 months old and 38 lbs himself. They've been really reliable.

We got the large for our Labs, they were about 65 lbs then, now 75 and 85. I think a large would be fine.
