Kong or Nylabone, only two sum what safe chew toys as far as I'm concerned. I also go to the butcher and buy large raw shank bones (beef) that they get to chew on once a week for a half hour or so, and then put them back in the freezer, they don't splinter like the cooked one's do and they keep there teeth nice and clean.

Done the penut butter thing an others, thanks i'l try the nylabone too. An keep doing what I'm doing. Boar

My new pup likes the elk antler chew toys from Chuck N Dons. Chews on it all the time and it looks like we bought it yesterday. They like to try and get the marrow out.

[Boar]

Where do ya get those elk antlwer chew toys? All she gets is sheds to play with, so this might work great. She has some sheds with skull caps an seems to really like those. Thanks boar

Chuck N Don's. Its a pet food chain here in the cities. They do however have a HSOforum. You may be able to order them there.

I give my lab small whitetail antler sheds to chew on. Those things are tough and she loves them.

She doesn't hunt sheds however...

There is no substitute for exercise. The more your dog gets the better it will behave. I have a boxer and she can not get enough.

Just an FYI. I had a dog break it's molar chewing on a cow hoof. It split the face off and the tooth needed surgery. It had to be split in 4ths, a flap done and so on. It was a 6000$ bill. Afterward they gave me a flier about chews and teeth. I was surprised, as I had no idea hard things were that bad. But raw hide chews only, and no more then ones they can chew up in 5-10 minutes or so. If it goes longer take them away. There are the ones with tooth cleaning paste right in them, I think they are CT chews. But any way, they acclimated the wear on older dogs teeth to all these chews as well. Those nyla things cow hoofs or bone items that are hard are the worst thing to give a dog for there teeth. Take it from a dental vet, not me. If you have doubt's or ?'s call you dental specialist at the vet.But extended chewing on these marketed items that are so numerous, will wear your dogs teeth down faster.

what did dogs do before dentists?

bahh sometimes this site just makes you scared to do anything. there is tons of talk out there of raw hide being bad for our dogs too. My pup needs something to do or else i go crazy i rotate between 3 things

1. sock with a empty water bottel in it (sometimes i put food in the bottom of the sock)

2. kongs with a frozen peice of bread with peantbutter spread on it

3. smoked beef hip knuckles (her favorite) the ones i buy come from lakewinds and are full or tendons and meat and stuff that is chewable off the bone when it gets down to bone i take it away and replace it with a new one. the stuff from the "pet marts" is junk compared to these bones.

[Boar]

Good stuff guys, thanks. Boar
