Do you have customer reviews for T. Forrest & Sons chews?

Not currently — we do not publish star ratings or customer reviews on the site. What we can tell you honestly is what the product is made from and what to consider before buying, which is what this page covers, so you can judge for yourself whether it suits your dog.

Are filled bones safe for all dogs?

They generally suit dogs who enjoy a longer, more determined chewing session, sized appropriately for the individual dog, but any bone-based chew carries some risk of tooth damage or splintering if a dog chews too aggressively. Supervise the first few uses and stop offering any chew that is cracking or splintering rather than deteriorating evenly.

Are natural dog chews like hooves and bones fattening?

They can be relatively calorie-dense compared with a low-fat biscuit treat, so it is worth accounting for them as part of your dog's daily food rather than an unlimited extra, particularly for a dog managing their weight. Check with your vet if you are unsure how a specific chew fits into your dog's overall diet.

How long should a natural chew like this last before I take it away?

Once a chew has worn down to a small piece that could be swallowed whole, or shows cracking or splintering, it is time to remove it regardless of how long that has taken. There is no fixed lifespan, since this depends entirely on how enthusiastically your individual dog chews.

T. Forrest & Sons dog chews

We do not currently publish customer reviews on the site, so rather than a star rating, here is what T. Forrest & Sons chews actually are: natural, single-ingredient style dog chews — filled bones, hooves and meaty sticks — aimed at dogs who enjoy a longer, more traditional chewing session rather than a quick biscuit-style treat.

What the range is actually made from

The range leans heavily on natural animal-based chews — filled bones with a meat or marrow filling, hooves, and dried meat sticks and sausages — rather than manufactured biscuit or synthetic chews. This style of chew tends to appeal to dogs who like a substantial, longer-lasting session rather than something gone in a few bites.

Because these are natural products rather than a uniform manufactured shape, size and density can vary a little between individual pieces, which is normal for this type of chew and not a sign of anything wrong.

What to check before choosing one

Match the chew's size to your dog rather than buying on price or appearance alone — a chew that is too small for a large, determined chewer is more easily swallowed whole, which is a choking and blockage risk regardless of the brand. Supervise any new chew the first few times, as you would with any chew you have not given your dog before.

Filled bones and hooves are calorie-dense compared with a low-fat biscuit treat, so they are worth counting as part of your dog's daily food allowance rather than an extra on top, particularly for a dog who is overweight or on a restricted diet.
