I'm sure sorry to hear your poor Buster had to have such pain and surgery for broken teeth! That's awful that that happened but when we see them enjoying something so much, it's hard to know what's the right thing to do or what is harmful and what isn't. Ever since Callie broke her tooth, I've vowed to stay away from Bully sticks even if I think Tibbe's tummy could take them, which I doubt it could. I'm sure sorry this happened but so thankful you shared this thread as a warning.
Tibbe chews a bit on his flat rectangular chewies but he's not a hardcore chewer as my tiny Jilly was. She demanded things to chew on and chew she did! If left alone with one, she would work on one until it was gone - all in her. I had to remove them after a half hour to keep her from making her gums sore after one time finding blood on one of her chew sticks! After that I gave her limited chewing time and softer toys and she totally destroyed the toys with her teeth, working on them as if she were duty bound to rip them apart. Thankfully Tibbe enjoys playing with and hiding his chewies much more than chewing on them, which he only occasionally does. Now I'm for sure keeping him away from all Bully sticks!
