| Bone/chex confusion Hi everyone! I am a soon to be wife and yorkie mommy, and I want to have everything ready when my little man gets here. I'm a bit confused about bones and chews. I know he'll need lots to chew on to keep his little teeth healthy and to keep him out of trouble but I'm not sure what to buy. I know that rawhide and nylabones are out. And I think bully sticks smell awful. I'm already gotten him an Everlasting treat ball but I'm not sure what to do about bones. I know natural is best. But I'm confused over raw, boiled, or the sterilized bones at the pet store. Also, if I do get bones from the butcher and prepare or boil them myself should I get chicken or beef bones? Thanks! |

| chewing...no nylabones? I was just about to post that Molly loves nylabones, but got to the part in your post that nylabones were out. Why? She loves them, but I don't want to give her something that is not safe. |

| I don't think they're able to digest the little pieces that come off during chewing.

| Bully sticks are a great chew for puppies. Just watch when they get it down to a small size. I pick them up (ewww) and throw them away when I see they are down to an inch or two. Be warned they are actually bull pizzle -- sounds gross but it is a good tendon for them to chew. YT Member AMD has them on sale right now at her online store. Mine also LOVE the Chicken Jerky tenders. If I run out, I have to drop everything and run to the store because they expect Chicken Jerky Tenders when they go outside for business.

| I second the vote for AMD's bully sticks! My two love them, and cannot get enough. Needless to say, they never chew on anything else, like shoes or wires. These bully sticks are all they ever want. |
