Best natural chews for brachycephalic dog

I recently adopted a Boston terrier x French bulldog who’s eight, she’s missed out on a normal life up to now.
What chews are best for flat-faced dogs? My other rescue can eat almost anything (but is incredibly fussy!) I would prefer natural chews if possible.

Ive a frug ( frenchie/pug cross ) and he doesn't get on with chews - runs around crying with them until he finds somewhere to bury it

He gets the beef jerky strips broken into pieces and small bite markies

As long as his teeth are okay, I would assume he can just have the same chews as any other dog his age?

She never had chews, toys or anything like that so she tries eating them in one go which is frightening as she then sometimes chokes.
Because she has a very shallow jaw she struggles to gnaw as well.

Oh bless her, maybe little puppy chews so they're a bit softer and less likely to cause problems? There's a website called The Stuffed Hound who sell all kinds of chews for different life stages.

Have you tried yak chews?

You can get little ones to start off with. My Frenchie pup likes them - like yours he will try and swallow things that take too long. He likes chicken feet and can crunch through them quite quickly.

He also likes these and they take ages, but they’re quite stinky
