Buffalo horn is very hard and can damage teeth, particularly when a dog bites down forcefully. Small does not automatically mean suitable for every small dog. For dogs that crunch hard chews, have dental issues or try to swallow pieces, choose a softer alternative instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSafety \u0026amp; Suitability\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlways supervise closely and offer in short sessions. Choose a horn too large to swallow or fit entirely inside your dog’s mouth. Inspect before and during use, and discard if cracked, splintering, sharp-edged or worn down to an unsafe size. Hard chews can cause tooth fractures; broken or swallowed pieces can cause choking or digestive obstruction. Not recommended for puppies with developing teeth, dogs with damaged teeth or forceful crunchers. Ask your vet if you are unsure about suitability. Stop use if there is bleeding, discomfort or digestive upset.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eUse \u0026amp; Storage\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eProvide fresh drinking water. This chew should not replace a complete, balanced diet. Store in a cool, clean, dry place and wash hands after handling. Do not assume suitability for an allergy or exclusion diet without veterinary guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIs this the Small buffalo horn?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. This listing is for the Small size. As a natural product, individual horns vary in shape, colour and dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIs the Small size suitable for every small dog?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Choose according to mouth size, dental condition and chewing style. The horn must be too large to swallow or fit entirely inside the mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAre buffalo horns suitable for aggressive chewers?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot necessarily. Dogs that bite down forcefully or crunch hard chews may damage their teeth. A softer chew is a better choice for these dogs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCan buffalo horns splinter or damage teeth?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Horn can crack or splinter, and its hardness can cause tooth fractures. Supervise closely and discard damaged pieces or any horn that becomes too small.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAre these suitable for puppies?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe do not recommend this very hard chew for puppies with developing teeth.
