Good questions
Straight answers about The Original Bar, the same way we’d give them over email.
All yak-chew questionsWhich size of the Original Bar should I buy?
Match the maker’s weight chart to your dog and size up whenever you are between sizes. The bar must always be too big to fit fully in your dog’s mouth. Our size finder gives you the same answer in ten seconds.
How long does the Original Bar last?
Anywhere from days to weeks of supervised sessions depending on your dog’s jaw strength and persistence. Replace it based on its condition and size, not a promised duration.
What do I do with the small end piece?
Take it away before it can be swallowed. This maker publishes puffing instructions: soak the end briefly, microwave it until it puffs into a crunchy cracker, and let it cool completely before serving.
Is this chew okay for puppies?
Rock-hard bars and developing teeth are a poor match. For puppies and gentle seniors we point you to the Cloud Puffs instead, and to your vet for timing.
