Are Merrick Flossies ok for Pups? - Spoiled Maltese - the largest maltese dog forum and website

Samson is 19 weeks today. Is it safe for me to give him flossies or should I wait until he gets a little older?

I would say it is safe, but I never give Flossie unsupervised. I would think that they are good for teething, too. I didn't hesitate to let Abbie chew on a Flossie shortly after she came home to us at 12 weeks old.

I've been giving Madden flossies since he hit his 12 week mark too. His 5 months now and I've never had any issues with them.

I agree with supervising him when he's chewing.

Our trainer says not to give flossies unsupervised, but I've never actually seen one splinter...? They seem pretty safe especially compared to rawhide?
