Bones / tripe sticks

[sarahm2008]

my pup is 12 weeks tomorrow I would like to start giving him some nutritional treats - something that he can really get his teeth in and satisfy him other than his rice bone and stag bar. is he old enough to have a bone and /or tripe stick or anything else?

I have bought dried tripe, pizzles, paddywhack and buffalo ears for our pup and I have just checked it did not say anything on the pack about age, but I am sure someone with more experience can help but I don't really see any problems as they are natural treats just break it into manageable pieces

Monty's been having these since he was 12 weeks and they're an absolute god-send as we only have minimal cockerdile moments and no furniture/shoes etc have been chewed up. Cows hooves are brilliant too.  No tummy upsets either

If you go onto Zooplus you will find tonnes of great natural chews. They have beef, lamb, fish etc. Brodie loves ostridge and I recently bought her beef scalp which she adores (prepare for the smell though!). I'd imagine they would be perfectly fine for pups, they are 100% natural and low fat too. Edit - do check about the low fat part as I know pigs ears are quite fatty.

Here's a link, just look at natural dried dog snacks:
