I know this is very controversy but I got to ask. I am only thinking about it because my puppy is still teething and she is very picky when it comes to chew toys. I have not found any chew toys she likes and it's been 4 months since I have her.
I certainly don't want her to get choked on small pieces so what I am talking about is the huge "whole" pig ear - the one that's way way too big for a 4 lbs Yorkie. It was to be replaced once it gets down to 75 to 80%
of its original size .
I did thought about greenies but there were some problems with it lately and I am not sure it's good for them anymore. I have also heard of dogs choking on rawhides so I picked out very big ones for my puppy - she won't even look at it. And I heard that cow hoofs are pretty smelly.
Well my puppy does likes to chew on stuffed animal and went thru them way too fast. Some of them got their head ripped off and some of them were ripped open in a couple different places.
After all the sewing, I still couldn't save them all. These poor stuffed babies. And pig ear is a still real controversy. However, I did not know some dogs are allergic to something in them until now.
I got to help her with the teething so what else is out there? Anyone?
