Questions on chewing I'll be getting my yorkie next weekend, and although I don't know if he will be a chewer, I'm trying to think ahead as much as I can so I'm prepared. What do you do to stop a puppy from chewing? I know they need chewing toys, etc., what are some good chewing toys for yorkies? I know the main thing will be to keep things picked up and watch him closely. I'll be with him all day since I work evenings, and my hubby will be with him while I'm at work. So, we'll be able to watch him, but I know they can still get into mischief, even if they are watched closely. It's been a long time since we've had a puppy, and our last one (lab/blue tick mix) never chewed at all. She was happy to chew on her toys and never bothered anything in the house. We were lucky. Just thought I'd ask here to get some suggestions. As I said, it's been a long time since we've had a puppy in the house. I'm SOOOOO excited!!! Thanks in advance. |
This is my opinion, obviously, but many YTers share it: Stay away from rawhide and Greenies. Rawhide gets soggy and can be swallowed, and dogs can't digest all of it. Same thing with Greenies. They can be swallowed easily but not entirely digested. My guys get bored with any one chew toy, so try to mix it up. Hard plastic toys like Nylabones should be in the mix. Bully sticks are great but smell bad. Hard rubber can be a good choice too. Rope toys are a nice diversion. The best advice is just to keep an eye on them when they have toys. If they're shreading it or eating it, throw it away. Good luck. We'll be expecting lots of pictures. :) |
I am in the same situation too. I will be getting my pup in a couple weeks and I have been trying to buy everything in advance. After reading the boards all day yesterday, I ordered one of those Puppy Pal things with the heartbeat. Next will be the toys. I'm really excited too!:aimeeyork |

The most important thing about Yorkie ownership, however, is making sure you have a good camera. That way you can get free advice by posting cute pictures on YorkieTalk. |
