Start With Your Dog's Size and Chewing Style

The most important factor isn't just your dog's breed or weight — it's how they chew. Some dogs work steadily through a chew over days, while others are far more enthusiastic and get through things much faster. A couple of things to think about:

  • Small or gentle chewers often get more mileage out of a single cheese bone, taking their time and making it last.
  • Larger or more determined chewers may work through a bone more quickly and could be better suited to a multipack, so you always have a replacement ready.
  • Puppies or dogs new to hard chews should always be supervised with any long-lasting chew, and it's worth starting with a size you're comfortable monitoring closely.

As with any chew, always supervise your dog and remove the chew once it's small enough to be a potential choking hazard.

Single Cheese Bones vs Multipacks

  • Single Long Lasting Cheese Bones are a great starting point if you're trying our chews for the first time, or if you prefer to buy one at a time.
  • Multipack Cheese Bones offer better value if your dog gets through chews regularly, or if you'd simply rather not run out. They're also handy in multi-dog households where everyone needs their own.

Training Treats and Pop Steaks: A Different Kind of Choice

Unlike our long-lasting cheese bones, Training Treats and Cheesy Pop Steaks aren't about size in the same sense — they're about how you plan to use them:

  • Crunchy Training Treats are small and designed for frequent, repeated rewards — ideal during training sessions or as an easy on-the-go treat.
  • Cheesy Pop Steaks offer a bigger, more satisfying bite for when you want to give a larger, one-off treat rather than lots of small rewards.
  • Now that both are available in our new 300g bumper size, it's also worth thinking about how often you'll be using them — the bumper size suits regular training, multiple dogs, or simply not wanting to reorder too often.
