Merrimore Chew Profile
Every dog chews differently. Our profile is designed to help you compare the physical characteristics of each product before choosing.
Dogs differ in size, dental condition, and chewing style. Merrimore's profile compares products by their physical texture and characteristics so you can choose more easily.
Ratings are for relative comparison between Merrimore products only. They do not represent actual chewing time and do not mean a product is suitable for every dog. All chew products should be used under supervision.
Hardness
Hard natural bone
Chew Duration
Designed for gradual supervised chewing
Aroma
Natural lamb aroma
Easy to Portion
Serve as an appropriately sized whole chew
Natural Variation
Every bone is naturally unique
Good to know
The hardness of a natural bone is completely different from regular jerky treats. Body size is not the only factor. Whether the dog chews gradually, whether it bites hard on firm objects, and its dental condition all matter.
How to Read the Merrimore Chew Profile
Hardness
From softer treats to very firm natural chews.
Chew Duration
This reflects the relative amount of chewing a product usually requires, not how many minutes a dog will chew.
Aroma
This reflects the relative strength of the product's natural smell. A stronger smell does not mean better or worse quality.
Easy to Portion
The higher the score, the easier it is to break into smaller pieces for training or portion control. Hard chews and natural bones are usually not meant to be pre-portioned.
Natural Variation
The higher the score, the more noticeable the natural variation may be in size, thickness, colour, curve, surface, and natural shape.
Natural variation is not a defect. It is part of the product itself.
Chew Profile Disclaimer
Merrimore's profile is a relative comparison of each product's physical characteristics. It is not a safety rating, a nutrition rating, or a guarantee of real chewing time.
Dogs differ in size, age, dental condition, and chewing style.
All chew products should be used under supervision. Choose a size that is not easy to swallow whole, and stop use if the product becomes too small, develops sharp points, cracks, or if the dog tries to swallow large pieces.
Merrimore | Is This Right for My Dog?
Every dog differs in size, dental condition, chewing style, and swallowing habits. Use the guide below to decide whether a product suits your own dog, rather than choosing by body size alone.
All chews should be used under supervision. Puppies, senior dogs, dogs with dental problems, a history of fractured teeth, a tendency to swallow large pieces, or special health or dietary needs should be checked with a veterinarian before use.
Not sure if this is the right place to start?
Compare Merrimore product characteristics with a few quick questions.
Merrimore recommends understanding this first
This is a true natural bone chew.
Natural bones are not suitable for every dog. Hardness, dental condition, bite force, and whether the dog tries to swallow fragments all need to be considered.
More suitable
This should not be promoted in a "Best for" style. It should only be considered when the owner understands the risks of natural bones, the dog has a stable gnawing habit, and full supervision is possible.
May not be suitable
- Small dogs that still bite very forcefully on hard objects
- Power chewers
- Dogs with dental disease or a history of fractured teeth
- Puppies or some senior dogs
- Dogs that quickly break off and swallow bone fragments
- Use without the owner present
How to use it the first time
- Limit the first session to a short supervised period.
- Observe whether the dog scrapes and gnaws gradually, tries to break the bone, creates fragments, or tries to swallow large pieces.
- A larger body size does not automatically make a natural bone suitable. Chewing style matters more than body weight alone.
Stop immediately
- When sharp fragments appear
- When the bone cracks
- When the dog bites off large pieces and tries to swallow them
- When mouth bleeding appears
- When the dog suddenly refuses to chew, paws at the mouth, or shows signs of dental pain
Merrimore Feeding Note
Treats and chews are supplementary foods in addition to a complete and balanced main diet.
In general, treats should make up only a small part of a dog's daily calories. WSAVA suggests keeping treats to about 10% or less of daily calorie intake.
When introducing any new food, offer a small amount first and observe your dog.
Chews should be used under supervision, and the selected size should not be easy to swallow whole.
If your dog has food sensitivities, chronic disease, dental problems, is on a veterinary diet, or has a history of swallowing foreign objects, consult your veterinarian first.

Usage Insights
Based on product characteristics and usage observations.
Chewing Challenge
Femur bone chews are firm natural bones. Dental condition, bite force and chewing style should be considered before use.
Chew Engagement
A dog may sniff and reposition the bone while exploring it. Start with a short, fully supervised session.
Safety & Supervision
Supervise use and select an appropriate size. Remove if sharp edges or excessive fragments appear.
This product is a natural bone chew designed to support a dog’s natural chewing behaviour and is not intended for swallowing. If a dog shows signs of rapid consumption, breaks off large pieces, or attempts to swallow, we recommend discontinuing use and selecting a chew more suitable for their eating behaviour.
This type of chew may be considered for dogs living in smaller indoor environments, such as apartments in Hong Kong.
