| Not a Chewer? Does anyone else have a fur baby that doesn't chew? I'm not talking kibble, he eats his Wellness Small Bites with no problem. I'm talking like bully sticks, bully ropes, nyla bones, that kind of stuff. I have spent a good bit of money trying to find something Pistol will chew on. Not that I'm complaining about the money he is more than worth it. I even took him to the vet to make sure it wasn't a teeth or jaw problem, and everything is fine, no physical reason. I want to try Ryan's Himalayan Chews. I'm just afraid he won't chew those either.I count myself lucky as he doesn't chew on furniture or baseboards.Does anyone else have a non chewer? Anyone have any suggestions? |

| Bailey has never chewed on toys, nylabones, greenies, ropes, cords, baseboards, furniture, socks or anything! We were/are very lucky. However she liked rawhides when I used to give them - and she LOVES bully sticks.

| I wish Pistol liked bully sticks, he doesn't so I gave it to my daughters Laso. She loved it. |

| Duke, my GSD, is not a chewer. Didn't chew on anything he wasn't supposed to when he was a puppy and to this day has no interest in any chew type toy or treat. I would suggest finding what type of toy they do like. For Duke it is tennis balls. If he has one of those he is happy and content. |

| My Maddie is 2 1/2. She is not a chewer either. I have tried everything imagineable. All types of toys, bones, rubber kongs, bully sticks, himalayan chews (even tried grating the edges so it would have a smell to it). She may occaisionally chew on a bully stick for about 5 minutes, but that is it. I was feeding her Natural Balance small bites and I recently switched her to Taste of the Wild because she wasn't even chewing her kibble, just swallowing it whole!!! The Taste of the Wild she at least chews. She had a dental at just over 2 years so I am thinking it is partly because she isn't a chewer and doesn't clean off her teeth. |

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | Wow- I'd say count your lucky stars that you don't have a chewer on your hands! Bully sticks manage to last about 15 minutes in this house. And my rocking chair leg has seen much better days

| Pray it lasts all through puppyhood. at first Harley didn't chew anything. I've just been notified by my bf that he got into a swiffer box at lunch time. Swiffer Snow! God knows what I'm going to come home to... I don't know how this little pup climbs so high! I thought his place was puppy proof.

| Brody doesn't chew . . .but he LOVES to carry around his Dingo's then find the proper burial place for them. I always have to go find them otherwise Rhianna will run off with his and he'll tattle on her . . . Rhianna on the other hand . . .she's my chewie freak . . .I actually have to hold her chewie for her so she can gnaw away . . .I give her 15 minutes chew time per night . . .

| My oldest is not interested in chewing on rawhides or bullies but give him a ball and he will chase it,chew on it for a while... then bring it back to me so I can throw it and he can do it all over again.
