Augie Bones Tiny Bacon Softer Dog Chew Toy

Softer Plant-Based Bacon Chew Toy for Puppies, Seniors and Tiny Dogs

Product Description

Augie Bones Tiny Bacon Softer Dog Chew Toy is a plant-based, non-toxic chew toy developed specifically for puppies, senior dogs, and tiny breeds that need a gentler chewing experience. Made from biobased, biodegradable, and compostable materials with no nylon or traditional plastics, this softer formulation is ideal for delicate puppy teeth and tender senior gums. The Bacon flavor is AAFCO-certified, hypoallergenic, and blended throughout the bone for a satisfying chew every time.

Benefits

• Softer Formulation for Gentle Chewers: Specifically developed for puppies, senior dogs, and tiny breeds whose teeth and gums require a gentler chewing material than tough chew toys.
• No Nylon or Traditional Plastics: Made from plant-based, biobased materials with no nylon, PP, PE, PET, or ABS, eliminating any risk of harmful microplastic ingestion.
• Non-Toxic and Safety Certified: Materials are Prop 65 compliant and have passed third-party toxicity testing to USA, EU, and UK standards, including children's safety certification levels.
• Hypoallergenic Bacon Flavor Throughout: AAFCO-certified hypoallergenic Bacon flavoring is blended all the way through the bone, not just applied as a surface coating.
• Eco-Friendly and Compostable: Made from biodegradable, compostable materials that break down over time, unlike nylon and plastic toys that persist indefinitely.

Note: This is a chew toy, not an edible treat or supplement.

How to Use

Directions for Use

• Size Selection: Choose the correct size for your dog; the Tiny size is designed for dogs up to 8 lbs, Mini for up to 25 lbs, and Mighty for dogs between 30 and 90 lbs.
• Supervised Chewing: Always supervise your dog during chewing sessions; no chew toy is indestructible, and every dog chews differently.
• Clean Up Debris: Small flaky pieces may come off during chewing; regularly clean up any debris to prevent unintended ingestion of larger pieces.
• Replace When Worn: Inspect the bone regularly and replace it when it becomes too worn down or small enough to pose a choking risk.
• Storage: No refrigeration is required. Store the toy safely after use to avoid sharp, chewed edges becoming a hazard.

Additional Information

Precautions

• Chew Toy, Not an Edible Treat: Augie Bones are chew toys and should not be consumed as food; dogs should not be able to tear off large chunks during normal chewing.
• Correct Size Required: Always select the appropriate size for your dog's weight to ensure safe and suitable chewing throughout use.
• Supervised Use Only: Never leave your dog unattended with any chew toy; always monitor for signs of excessive wear or irregular chewing behavior.
• Watch for Wear: Keep an eye on the bone as it wears down and discard it before it becomes too small to chew safely or poses a choking hazard.
• Storage Safety: Pick up the toy after each use to avoid sharp chewed edges being a hazard to pets or people in the household.
