Troubleshooting
Dog is not interested in the chew
Ensure the dog is the correct size for the chew. Some dogs may need encouragement or may just not prefer this specific texture. Try offering it after exercise when they might be more inclined to chew.
Dog is trying to swallow large pieces
Supervise your dog closely. If your dog is a fast or aggressive chewer, this might not be the right product. Consider a different Whimzees shape or a more appropriate dental product.
Dog experiences digestive upset
While rare due to the natural ingredients, monitor your dog for any signs of stomach upset. Ensure they are drinking enough water. If issues persist, discontinue use and consult your veterinarian.
