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
Firm natural bone structure
Chew Duration
Provides a moderate to longer natural chewing experience
Aroma
Natural lamb aroma
Easy to Portion
Best offered as an appropriately sized whole chew
Natural Variation
Curves, size and thickness vary naturally
Good to know
Lamb tail bones naturally have a curved shape, so the curve, length, and thickness will not be identical from piece to piece.
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.
Before you buy
Lamb tail bones naturally have a curved shape, and every piece will vary in size and appearance.
This is a natural bone, not an ordinary jerky treat.
More suitable
As with Lamb Femur Bone, this should not be broadly recommended. It may be considered only for dogs with previous natural-chew experience, dogs that gnaw gradually, and situations with full supervision.
May not be suitable
- Dogs that tend to swallow food whole
- Dogs that like to snap bones quickly
- Dogs with poorer dental condition
- Puppies or some senior dogs
- Situations where nobody can supervise use
How to use it the first time
- Let the dog explore the naturally curved shape first.
- Sniffing, moving it around, and trying different angles do not mean the dog "doesn't know how to eat it"; the dog is learning about a new object.
- The key in the first session is whether the dog can gnaw steadily and gradually, not how long the chewing lasts.
When to remove
- When smaller swallowable sections appear
- When sharp fragments appear
- When the bone cracks
- When the dog begins snapping it quickly
- When any oral discomfort appears
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.

Texture & Interest
Tail bone chews are firm and naturally vary in shape, size and texture.

Safety & Supervision
Supervise chewing and remove small fragments if your dog tends to crack chews quickly.
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.
