If you have a dehydrator, putting turkey jerky in a kong usually will get some attention even from ones who don't have interest in toys. It's very healthy for them, too. A few of my crew were miller dogs, BYB's etc. who spent most of their lives in cages. Sometimes the ones with the toughest pasts, just need more initiating to play with toys or chew things.
Also, you could give her something to keep her mentally stimulated like a beef knuckle bone. Always raw though; never cooked; as cooked bones are very hard on their teeth and can often cause chipping. If it's not being fed as an actual meal, you can offer larger bones like beef or pork rib bones; her natural instinct will kick in and I've known some dogs to just sit and nibble for hours. Raw bones are excellent for teeth too; and for little dogs that is important and can even eliminate the need for routine dentals. And anything that avoids anesthesia is good in my book, I'm such a worry wort. Hope that helps little Brandi! Take care! |
