INCREASED CHEWING

Why all of a sudden is my dog is going through the chew toys that used to last him a long time?

Like all muscles, the jaw muscles that a dog uses to chew become more powerful with usage. So, as your dog continues to chew on the toys she's given, the more her chewing power will increase. Pet dogs tend to become stronger chewers during their early adult years because of all the exercise their jaw muscles get working over their toys. It isn't surprising then that a toy that stood up to a dog's chewing when she was 18 months old won't last her as long when she celebrates her third birthday. Move the dog up to a stronger, more durable chew toy that will last her pet longer.
