Donating YT 500 Club Member | I am not sure! I let Nolee chew on it as long as he wants. Now Nolee is 2. Hopefully someone here can help you!

| Is he stripping little slivers off it and eating them...or just chewing on the end? If it's disappearing down his tummy, I think I'd only let him have it for an hour or so at a time...

| If it's just getting mushy, I wouldn't worry as long as you're watching him. My Zoey is a little over a year, 4.25 lbs, and rips slivers off her bully bones and eats them. I keep an eagle eye on her, let me tell you...just in case she might choke. These bullies are digestible, but I'm paranoid...what can I say, lol?

| It looks to me like a bully stick, iv'e seen them sold this way at Petsmart... and they are safe... However, i'd still supervise at all times especially because of his very young age. What an adorable baby he is. He is so cute . Thank you for sharing his picture along with his new chew bone.

| The secret to his ears standing up is to have them shaved .... All of his hair on them make it too heavy for them to stand up all the time> The older he becomes, the more hair he will have growing on his ears, however he is way too young to take to a groomers right now. He needs to be fully vaccinated first. Or you can do it yourself if you like. Or wait, he looks cute no matter what.

| Your little guy is a picture of total cuteness. Yeah, that looks like a twisted bully stick. If you're interested, AMD sells them here. Super cheap and non-stinky. They're in the Yorkie Products for Sale forum. I bought some, and they're great. You'll find, as he grows, he'll go through them like you wouldn't believe.
