Our first bully stick (6") - thinking it was going to occupy her for days - disappeared within 20 minutes!! No choking at all but holy cow, I did not think she would go through it that fast. Does anyone else have a lab puppy that is a magician at making these chew things disappear?? Anything else puppy owners would suggest as an actual long-lasting chew??
I would avoid chews as they tend not to chew them properly before swallowing. Raw hide are worse as they don’t break down easily. I would use the black Kong filled with soft foods(can be frozen) a smear of peanut butter,banana etc
I second the Kong suggestion. You can put a few pieces of kibble in first until your puppy figures it out. Then you can wet the kibble (count as a portion of her meal) and stuff the Kong. I usually put a smear of pb or a slice of banana to top it off and freeze. You can put a dollop of plain yogurt in there or blueberries. It’ll last a while in the beginning but now that Lucy’s a year old it doesn’t last very long ♀️
My puppy swallowed a rolled rawhide the other night and I just about had a heart attack! She swallowed it at about 4 inches left to it. I guess all is fine as I took her to the vets and they said she is ok with no obstruction. I think she has pica!!
Hi we got recommended the antler they are real antlers most pet shops sell these now and are totally safe and hard as nails.Our 16 week old is loving it it's certainly stopped her chewing things.
Ho How did you go with longer lasting chews? Our pup is 4 months now and she ate a 6inch bully stick in under 5 mins! She’s perfectly fine but we don’t know what to do now? She doesn’t last long with focus on a kong either... we could try different fillings I guess but would love to know if you have discovered anything that works for your pup?
