Hello!

You need to add some fiber to your kiddos diet- while these grain free foods are great and everyone always talks about the small very firm poops as a positive things, it isn't always a great thing- it can lead to painful bowel movements for the dogs and anal gland issues- you can try adding a spoonful of plain canned pumpkin to their meals, or even some green beans, or adding more canned food at each meal could help also. It will be a little bit of trial and error to see what works for your kids.

I personally don't like to give any kind of chew when I leave the house, a blockage could happen with almost anything and you won't be there to do anything about it. I also give mine a treat as soon as I leave- I use something very tiny that is eaten before I even shut the door. If your kids need something longer lasting to keep them entertained, consider using a kong, it can be stuffed with peanut butter, yogurt, etc. and even frozen to make it last longer but there won't be a risk of choking.
