exactly that's why I said anything like a milk bone or a nylabone can do it as well, even some kibble is extremely hard. But on the flip side chewing is also good for their teeth, that's why dogs that eat kibble will almost always have stronger and cleaner teeth than those eating wet food. Lola is my first dog that will eat milk bone type treats, none of my other 4 would and her teeth are so much cleaner and her breath reflects that as well. Many here feel that milk bones have no nutritional value so the will not feed it to their dog as well, but I don't "feed it" it's given in very limited quantities as a treat. I do limit the time she chews on a bully stick because it is still a treat type of food. I only give it to her when in the same room and make sure I don't leave it on the floor if I have to go out.
