The Chew

Some dogs are happy with a nap and a chew. Others need to run, chase, fetch and work. For high-energy dogs, the right toy is more than entertainment. It's a way to burn energy, build skills and strengthen your bond. A tired dog is a happy dog, and a happy home.

During an elimination diet, the veterinarian's protocol decides what your dog may chew. A transparent, non-food, animal-protein-free toy may be considered, but some trials exclude every scented product.
