willow really loving chewing, but not sure what i can give her to chew on? she has toys but i gave her some chews the otehr day that i got from a pet shop not sure if she is allowed them but she loves chewing them. anything else? pig ears too fatty?
Re: suitable chewy things for puppies? Have you got a Kong for her? You can fill it with her usual food and freeze it then it'll take her a while to munch the food out. Fiddly though for every day. I give my boy pigs ears but only one or 2 a week as a treat. Not sure what age they can have the hide chews from, but don't get the shoe type ones, my jack Russell got the lace bit stuck in her throat when she was young and it tore her skin - an expensive vets trip and a poorly dog for a while!
Re: suitable chewy things for puppies? Do you mean dry food? You can fill the kong with kibble, use a bulldog clip to keep the bottom closed (cling flim will do but it's not great) and then fill the kong with stock or water (best stay away from ready made stocks as the salt content is sky high). Or, you can soak the kibble and it turns to sludge, then squish it in the kong and freeze it. Top tip - egg cartons keep kongs upright in the freezer!
Re: suitable chewy things for puppies? Sorry yes I should've said you need to freeze dry kibble into something, Julie explained it better than I did!!
Re: suitable chewy things for puppies? My order from the eco dog company arrived today (someone on here, might have been Jac, mentioned this company). I'm very happy with the dried venison products, including dried venison ears. I'd be happy to give these to a younger puppy under supervision (perhaps not a whole one until I'd seen effect on poo though). Very low in oils and fats, not at all greasy, and quite thin but chewy. I also ordered rawhide chews, claimed not to have any nasty stuff in it, and they look good too - but we've yet to try these.
Re: suitable chewy things for puppies? Nom nom. I admit it was me ;D If you message Mollie Pop at Ecodog Company she would be able to advise you on whats suitable. She sells pizzles too
Re: suitable chewy things for puppies? Pizzles are disgusting but considered a great delicacy here by His Furriness. They're a great, low fat, safe chew.
Re: suitable chewy things for puppies? Yup, pizzles are a top chew, Charlie loves them. And I don't worry about him having them.
Re: suitable chewy things for puppies? Just looked up pizzles What are earth are they????? Im sure they would last Poppy oooh all of 5 minutes maybe haha
Re: suitable chewy things for puppies? Just had a look at the eco dog company site... and have ordered a few chews! Jackie, pizzles are beef and you'll find a description on there - not that we've tried them yet. Trouble is, I'm now wondering how to justify the expense of the tweed collar in green. It would look great on Brew. *sigh* I think I might have just found what I want for Christmas...
Re: suitable chewy things for puppies? So glad I saw this thread - Max is a big chewer so have ordered some goodies from Eco Dog company! ;D
