All bones are not right for every dog. If you know your German Shepherd’s temperament and apparent flavor and texture preferences, you are well on the road to get a good bone for your pup. However, for the rest of us who haven't a clue, please read the following:

Drs. Foster & Smith is proud to offer your best friend the widest selection of bones in several shapes, sizes, and flavors. The following guidelines can help you select the perfect bone to fit your dog's chewing habits.

Bone-Hard Chew Toys & Treats
If your dog is a “power chewer” whose strong bite chews through bones in a flash, extremely long-lasting, durable Bone-Hard Chews are a great choice. They're designed to wear down slowly rather than break or splinter, and they provide important dental benefits. Nylon-based Nylabones are virtually indestructible.

Healthy Chews
When you want to give your dog a natural, grain-free chew, Healthy Chews with Sweet Potatoes are a good choice. Made from healthy ingredients, these completely digestible chews taste great and are ideal for dogs with digestive sensitivities.

Natural Beef Bones
Real, long-lasting natural beef bones are heat sterilized for your dog's safety, wear down slowly, and provide superior jaw exercise and dental benefits. Hickory-Smoked Meaty Bones & Knuckles have delicious real meat attached. Because all natural bones pose a minimal risk of splintering, we recommend supervising your dog's chewing sessions.

Rawhide Bones
A long-time favorite among all dog breeds, Rawhide Bones are beneficial to dental health and available in a variety of shapes and sizes to satisfy every chewing habit and dogs of all sizes. Drs. Foster & Smith have gone to great lengths to ensure that our rawhide chews are the absolute best for your dog. Made from premium beefhide from corn-fed American cattle, our rawhide is produced under the strictest quality standards and tightly wrapped/knotted to provide the most rawhide for your money. Compare our rawhide bones to the thin, loosely wrapped bones you will find on any retail shelf, and you'll see a definite difference in quality.

Dogs can be surprisingly choosey animls and the fierce German Shepherd is no exception. He might enjoy the Milkbone © you gave him yesterday but push away a rawhide chew today. We suggest you watch your dog, study his likes and dislikes then, over time, you will eventually find him the perfect bone.
