I know what your going through. Buddy was a very strong chewer and still is at 3yrs. I gave him a new rawhide every morning. I used the rolled kind that
look like a manacotti. He had diahrea off an on. I was always taking samples
to the vet thinking parasites. It took me 2yrs to realize it was the rawhide.
I now give him only natural bones I purchase in the pet store. It is hard
to find the ones that are not that wide around but they do have them.
He chews now on them and no more problems.
Also do not give them nylabone. They are not digestable and he was
hospitalized for 4days from vomiting and diahrea. Vets think it was the
chewed plastic from the nylabone in his intestines. That's when I went to
rawhide. But that is no good either. There is not much on the market that they can just chew on without ingesting something. You can also try PixieStixs. I hear great things about them
and they are digestable. You can get them from Kathryn V." Beyond Spoiled "on this site.
