What If My Dog Doesn’t Seem Interested in Bones?
Even hungry big dogs can turn their noses up at a bone now and then. If your dog loses interest, try switching up the bone type, flavor, or shape. Some dogs prefer certain textures or a fresh-out-of-the-freezer chill.
You can also:
- Pick a bone with a flavor coating or stuff a hollow bone with peanut butter or a little canned food.
- Offer bones after a walk, when your dog is relaxed and settled.
- Rotate different types of chews so they always feel new and exciting.
Sometimes, dogs avoid bones if their teeth or gums are sore. If your big dog usually loves bones but suddenly loses interest, do a quick mouth check or call your vet.
