Can I feed my dog a larger treat so they dont swallow it whole?
Your dog must be supervised so as to not allow the treat to be swallowed whole, as the goal is for the dog to chew on it. You, the dogs caretaker, must decide which treats are appropriate for your dog based on your dogs size and package instructions. If you are unsure about the proper size of treat to give your dog, always select the next size larger. It is safer to feed your dog a bigger treat. For those gulpers in the bunch, they will be less likely to swallow the whole thing, and the goal is to have the dog chew on the treat.
