Nancy 1999, Thanks for the Merrick Bully Stick recommendation. Zoey and Zeke are hard chewers and maybe these will last. I use the Merrick can foods and am pleased with the ones the "kids" will eat. |

from user AMD best bully sticks EVER, cause they stink the least out of any i've used!! and yes bully sticks are a great idea, they keep them busy when you're in need of some down time and they are good for them to eat at. also gives them good teething time and chewing needs are met. i also wanted to mention, i've been doing the "NO BITE" and i'll hold her little mouth closed for a second until she calms down some. sometimes i do this and pair it with holding her like a baby and calming her down that way. she only nips when she's being playful or getting zoomies. i also invested in the squirt bottle for anytime she's not listening to the first time command. if i say NO BITE and she comes at me again she gets squirted!! it works for ankle biting best. she won't come near them when i'm holding the bottle, she knows better |

i usually buy about 20 at a time. i don't give them all day everyday. you have to defin. be present when they eat those, the stuff sometimes gets stuck in teeth or roof of their mouths and you have to pull it off. also, i use them when i'm home and ready to chill out, great babysitters they are! ;) i would get as many as you can afford to at once and just store them. they last in storage forever pretty much and you'll have them as long as you need them for!! |
Thanks Rachel! :) |
One thing good about the Merrick brand is that although they are more expensive, they have very low moisture content, and are much harder. Joey chews on his all the time, and they last a week, nothing ever sticks to the roof of his mouth, they really have to gnaw on them to get something off, I think of them more like a safe bone, then a food stick. I buy in bulk and because the Merrick brand uses no artificial preservatives and are individually wrapped, so they will last forever. I hate to pay for shipping, and many companies have the same shipping charges for 1 or 100, but if you are trying something new, it's best to only get a few, just to make sure your dog likes them. |
Oh, and what kind do you get? There seems to be all different sizes and shapes, like curly or straight. |

a friend who is Wabbit on here gave me some deer antler sheds that had the tips cut off in the right size for Sadie. those last forever it seems like. they can chew on them all day and not really get anywhere. we like them so far, but she prefers bullys i'm guessing because of the flavor. |
