We do not recommend feeding the jerky to dogs under 10 pounds. The chews are slightly large for very small dogs to handle, and would also provide more calories than recommended from a supplemental food (i.e. a food that is not a complete diet because it does contain all essential nutrients).Puppies over 10 pounds can eat our chews, although we recommend additional supervision as young dogs can be more prone to biting off more than they can chew and experience issues swallowing.
