I recently learned that rawhide was not safe. So, I have been to PetCo in search of some new chews for Nick and Daisy.

We got beef rib bones, pork ears and a pork femur bone. The labels say they are all natural and made in the USA.

When we got home, I gave both dogs a rib bone. They took it, licked it and then just pit it in their bed. So, I tried the pork ear. Daisy ATE the whole thing in about 30 minutes. Is this normal? I wanted a chew toy - not a food treat. Daisy is chewing on the rib bone now but the label said bones may splinter causing injusy. Has anyone had trouble with natural bones hurting their pups?

Others have reccommended himalayan chews but I'm not positive what they are. Plus, they seem pretty expensive. I need somehting that Daisy can't EAT and that won't cost me a fortune to keep a supply of - any suggestions?
