Several members here have had some big problems with Bully sticks, Kim in MD just had a dog die while she was home but in another room from choking on a bully stick, those cat toys with bells are not good to be left alone with puppies that might chew, I have used them for active play with pups before but when left on their own with them, some would break them open and the bell can easily be swallowed. Honestly I think you need a smaller space so the puppy will sleep more while you are gone and then you can play with and entertain them when you are gone.
BTW I am not against bully sticks like some here are, but I make sure I am in the same room when Lola chews on one. Also don't feel bad about giving a puppy less space to roam when you are gone for about 4 hours they should be getting a lot of sleep anyway. |
My puppy will be 6 months on the 14th he doesn't like to chew on the cat ball he just pushes it around but that's a good point I won't leave him alone with the bully stick or the ball just in case he decides he wants to chew on it one day. I'm happy to announce he did not have any accidents and I will not lock him up anymore unless he does start having accidents. He likes to run around he gets enough sleep there's nothing in the house thay can hurt him while I'm gone he's fine. You are right about the bully stick, pig ear, and cat ball though I will no longer leave him alone with those. Thank you
