My dog is a bit overweight. Should I feed him pigs ears?

Because of their fat content, pigs ears can also cause diarrhea if consumed too often so you may want to reserve this treat for special occasions. As always, supervise your dog during chew time.

I bought a bone for my dog, but he doesn't chew it. What can I do to spark his interest?

For some dogs, the size of the bone matters. If your dog ignores the bone, it may be too large for him. Consider downsizing. It could also be the flavor of the bone. Try various types to see which flavor he likes best. To give new life to an old bone, try smearing a little peanut butter on it.
