We haven't done chews here in years. The ones that are safe for the intestines are usually terrible for the teeth. Also, some of them hold bacteria way too easily, have ingredients that are just yucky, etc. |
Although I use Toothpicks (Merrick
) and Himalayan chews, I agree on all points.
With Toothpicks, I hold them for the boys, or I give the chew while I am brushing the dog on the counter. Occasionally, I put Max on a 4' leash so that he stays by my side. Teddy stays close without the leash.
