Edible puppy chews

It's been a while since I have had a puppy (14years in fact!) so wondered if any of you Dogsey people could advise me on good edible chews for puppies?

He is 8 weeks.

Thanks

bones are the best thing for a youngster, not the big weight bearing type, but the smaller ones.

Don't know how big your dog actually is, but mine (including puppies) have always had chicken wings, carcasses, turkey necks etc. As long as they are raw it is fine
Here are some of my puppies enjoying their first bone at 3 weeks, I never thought they would tackle it, because it is nearly as big as them, but they ganged up on it
They had just had their first taste of solids and were wandering around looking hopeful (they had also fed off mum as well, the little monsters ) and I gave them the bone to see what they would do, so they ate it

Thanks Tawney, I'll give him a go on a chicken wing. He's an 8 week old Border Collie so not tiny.

I used similar:
Pizzle
Cows & Pigs ears
Hooves (her first lasted 3 months!)
Pork rolls (used to last hours!)
Tripe sticks (dont last long)
Stuffed wet food frozen

Ah thanks, I wasn't sure if he would be old enough to have those yet.
