Treat recommendation
 

Hello everyone. I wanted recommendations on whats a good treat to entertain my pup. She is in the crate allot while I'm at work 4 hours at a time. And I found that rawhides kept her entertained. BUT I also read that rawhide aren't good for the dogs. So therefore I will not be giving those to her anymore... I looked up bully sticks I know allot of people recommend it here but I dont know if its good to leave her alone with. Can someone please help me...

Any other suggestions..

Bailey loves bully sticks - but she only gets them when supervised. No rawhides here either.

A kong stuffed with frozen dog food or peanut butter is a good start...

Roxy for some reason doesn't like the Kong ball with Peanut butter or anything for that matter.. She's picky when it comes to her toys.. Ugh I swear she's like a year old LOL!!!!:aimeeyork

Lola loves her bully stick too!! Have you looked into deer antlerz? They last a very long time. Also I sell Himalayan chews which last for a long time.

Deer antlerz? No thats a first for me... How big are the chews? Do you have a website?

I dont carry the antlerz but a lot of store do...

This explains whta antlers are:
100% natural, mineral rich, long lasting dog chew. The new chew is made from a natural material that is rich in minerals, does not splinter and comes from a completely renewable source: Deer Antlers! Wild deer shed their antlers once a year as part of a natural process, after which the deer re-grow another set. These shed antlers are gathered by ranch workers and transported to QT Dog's manufacturing facility. The antlers are cut to the appropriate size, cleaned, and packaged to produce dog chews. ANTLERZ™ hold up substantially longer than most traditional chews made from plastic, bone, or compacted starch. A minerals analysis of these dog chews show high concentrations of calcium and phosphorus, with trace amounts iron, zinc, and sodium. Unlike processed livestock bones ANTLERZ™ don't chip or splinter when they are being used by even the most aggressive chewing dogs. A dog's chewing action grinds ANTLERZ™ down slowly. Deer antlers are a 100% natural, mineral rich dog chew that contains no plastics, no petrochemicals, no empty starches or artificial flavors.


My website for the himalayan chews is Puppy Potty Training - Dog Pee Pads - www.NewPuppyPads.com
Also I have a thread started in the for sale section

Sounds great what size would you recommend for Roxy she is 14 months and weighs about 6lbs...

The small will work..it come with 3pc per pk...if you have a big chewer on your hand like I have...I would go with the med...

Strangely enough, Tobie didn't like his Kong either when he was a puppy and didn't like peanut butter inside. He's 14 months old now and he loves the Kong when I put frozen Yorgurt inside.

Really what kind of yogurt is ok for dogs?

I use Dannon All Natural Plain Yogurt.... and my dogs love it!

Hey Maddy,

Milo does not like peanut butter either, I feed him Natural Balance LID dry kibble, but they make a roll food also I get him the lamb and either put that in the kong or I moisten his dry food and freeze it. He loves it, can keep him busy for hours.

Hi Cheryl. How are you? I'm gonna try that n see how she likes it. :-)

All is good here Maddy, loved the stuff you sent to my email by the way. when you get the kong get the puppy or small sized one other wise you will be feeding too much food ( I made that mistake :eek:)

I hope it works!

I have deer antlers on my website if you want to take a look.

They are available in many sizes- both length and diameter.

I feed my girl, Purebites, and she loves them. The trainer at Petco use it for her classes and Chi-Chi immediately loved it.

On a sidenote, why aren't rawhides good for dogs? Also, my girl is teething, any recommendations?

Here is a link to why I think rawhides are bad for dogs- http://www.poochieheaven.com/article...?article_id=44

Poochieheaven, thanks for the link! I will definitely go with one of the alternatives.

Hi, I received the chew yesterday during the day so at my lunch break I went home and put it in her crate she smelled it for about 3 mins and turned away... I had to go out yesterday night so I left it in there with her in the crate. When I got home later on the chew was actually outside of her crate. I don't know if its that she doesn't like it or what... I'll give it a few more days if not I'll have to get her the bully sticks and see how she feels about those...

Thanks again.

some dogs are very picky when it comes to treat and chews...try giving it again in a few days....keep us posted :)

Yeah I agree.. I'm hoping that it was because she still had little pieces of the rawhide left so she was still playing with those so I took those this morning and tossed them.. Oh she gave me the look of death like one of those " Oh no she didn't" looks :rolleyes: So I put her in crate with the chew.. Hopefully she gets bored and plays with it..

She may not like it. My dog wants nothing to do with any type of treat- no antlers, bully sticks, himalayan, and most bakery type treats.

LOL! I've received that looks several times from Lola....especially when I take away one of her favorite toys/or treats...she get sooo mad

wish Lola wanted nothing to do with chews..I would save a ton of $$$...LOL

LOL!! I just hope she doesn't try to rebel and pee's on my bed at night while we are sleeping or something... :eek:

Haha, that is does, but all he cares about it balls. Any type, size, color....but that also means he wants to play fetch whenever you are in the same room...

don't sure if I like the trade off...:)

That something Lola would do to me...rebel and pee on my sofa!


I guess thats what make all our dogs sooo unique :)

My dogs love the everlasting treat balls.

I retract my previous comment LMAO!!!!

She's starting to warm up to it hahah

YAH! :)
Glad she's warming up to it..
She's a little cutie :)
