What is your vote for best "Chew Bone" The problem with chew bones is they either aren't good for your dog (contains rawhide, e.g.) or they go through them way too fast and gets expensive. I tried "Himayalan Dog Chew" and it is awesome. Himalayan Dog Chew - Small | Himalayan Dog Chews It's made of Yak Milk and Cow Milk (boiled and then dried for several weeks into a hard chew). Takes him about a week to go through a bone. So a pack of 4 or 5 should last you about a month. Better the chew bone than something he/she shouldn't be chewing on. Click on the video on this page so you see what they look like: http://www.lukesallnatural.com/himal...ew-p-3596.html Put it this way, I bought the large size which was way too long for him to hold up between his paws while chewing, so I had to cut it in half. It took a hacksaw to cut it in half. That's how thick and strong they are. |
Interesting topic, was just thinking about the same thing. I recently bought Hudson a small sized Kong toy. I didn't even know they made them in small but I wanted to try it out to see if he would be entertained by it. He played with it for about 15 minutes and then gave up on trying to get the treat out. Has anyone else experienced the same thing with the Kong? |
My pup will chew & gnaw & lick on her kong if I smear peanut butter inside it. But it isn't her favorite chew toy. |
I like the CET Dental Chews, size medium. I mean, for my dogs - not me :D. |
Bully Sticks our my dog's favorite. I think of them as safe and keeps my 2 girls occupied for hours. |
I think the problem comes in when you find something they won't choke on and they end up breaking teeth on it instead. If there is no give when you push your finger into it, then it is probably to hard for their teeth. And if it's too hard for their teeth and one breaks, it will probably have to be pulled for $500+. So I have no advice except that the CET chews are probably fine in most cases as long as your pups aren't getting little pieces off that they could choke on. |
Himalayan Chews and Bully Sticks are pretty much what Jackson has. Anything else is either bad for him, he doesn't like, or gets eaten too quickly. |
Sammy likes the CET dental chews. |
Chew toy My yorkie Loves Hartz Tiny Dog Dental Duo. It is a toy and edible chew. I get them from Walmart. They cost about $3.00. |

Taycie also uses the C.E.T chews! Loves them... I have been getting the petite ones but she is so aggressive when she chews.. I have been thinking about getting the medium sized ones.. I always watch very closely while she is chewing.. Have you had any problems with them being to big?? I just want them to last longer then 5 min! |
Dingo Bones :) |
Himalayan Dog Chews, Deer Antlers and CET Chews |
Himalayan Chews and Texas Toothpicks. Both seem to help keep my boys' teeth clean. The Toothpicks don't last long, and I have to hold onto them because of the choking hazard for Max who would try to swallow the end piece, but my boys go wild for them. |
Lucy loves Bully Sticks but Ringo eats them too fast and ends up getting stomach issues ~ so we limit those to about every 2-3 weeks. Lucy loves these tiny, plain rawhide sticks (they are very thin) and will gnaw on those until they look little spears, at which time I throw them away. It will take her a few days to create that masterpiece. Ringo can't have those either because he doesn't chew them; he eats them. Anyhoo, her vet said her teeth looked really good yesterday so maybe having something to chew on does help. |
From hearing other input, you should give the Himayalan [COLOR=green ! important][COLOR=green ! important]Dog [COLOR=green ! important]Chew[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] a try. It lasts a week! Not 5 minutes. What other chew bone will last nearly a month for under $10? Max has been chewing the large bone which is probably a little too big for him but he still manages to eventually make a dent in it little by little. If you get the small size, it should be perfect for your baby. |
Mine can't have any chews really- they are all either not good for dogs (rawhides, greenies, etc), too much protein for my little MVD dogs (bully sticks, etc), or too hard that I worry they will break their teeth- after it happens and it spend $1000 fixing it, you get beyond paranoid. The best thing for mine are the KONGS- they can be filled with anything and are safe and healthy! |
Tibby loves his Kong. He has one that is really hard to get kibble in or out of but once I've pokled in in there piece at a time, he will play hard with it and race around bopping it into the air to jar out a piece of kibble until it is empty. It takes him almost 20 minutes to eat his dinner this way but he loves it. |

Max did well with his Kong for the first time last night. It took him about 20 minutes, and I really crammed his treats in there tight, so it wasn't going to be easy. He hasn't learned to flip it in the air the first time around. I am sure he will figure it out. I got the extreme kong, since he likes to tear things up. |

Joey loves Bully Sticks, and he taught me that he likes them better if I soften an end in hot water. I did it once, because the end dried extra hard and prickly, and now he throws the stick at me until I give in. He gets nightly chewing time with a stick, and they last about a week. We throw them out when they become a choking hazard. |
CET Chews and Bully Sticks is what I give my furbutts, they love them!!:D Bella makes me hold them for her, she will throw them at me to get me to hold them for her LOL. once they get to small I throw them out. |
-CET's give my Snickers loose stools:( I'm not exactly sure what they are made of anyway. -Bully sticks make both my boys itch (I have bestbullysticks.com type right now, going to try and get some MOO! brand ones today if I can find a store with any in stock!!) -Himalayans ROCK-getting more today!!! -Best thing so far for both of mine-Kong w/ PB for my pup Reesie or their sterilized hollow femur bone with a little PB in middle--BOTH LOVE THIS & great for teeth!!!! :) Viv |
chester loves the zukes z ridge bones, but they are pricey and your dog has to be at least 6 lbs I think for the mini version. I give them evert 2 or 3 days, the gal at the pet store says he chews them to fast to be be given every day |
Belle loves the chicken flavored Nylabones. |
At our house it is: himilayan dog chews...porkhide bones (safer than rawhide and low in fat for my schnauzer), deer antlers...every now and again, a Zukes dental ridge bone. Another chew/toy that I saw in the store was called the "puppy pinata"...and it was basically a stuffed toy with a pocket that a treat would fit into. I've done the same thing with one of our squeaker toys with the velcro pocket...took the squeaker out and put a treat inside, then loosely/semi closed it...Charlee must of chewed on that thing for hours :D (under supervision of course) Charlee is a dedicated chewer, but at 5lbs does limited damage... |
anyone ever get scared that they will choke on these rawhide sticks? I got some Dentleys Rawhide Sticks, and i'm scared he will try and swallow it or something, since only a little bit more than 2 inches is what doesn't fit in his mouth. That and he didn't want me to take it away from him, he back away whenever i went to snatch it back from him. didnt growl just tryed to run away with it. i might have to find something else, He like the Kong though, and doesn't mind when i grab it from him, also he has been going at it for 30 minutes now since i got it for him. |
I took the small piece of the Himalayan Chew Bone that was left and threw it away when I thought it was a possible choking incident waiting to happen. It still took him a week just to get to that point. He seemed less interested in it once it got that small. |
Just bought 20 of the medium ones for 5 bucks each and only 4 bucks total to ship from a vendor on amazon.com. Great price as they are usually between 7 and 9 bucks. The large was a bit too big (had to literally hacksaw them in half) and the smalls are a little too easy for him to get through, so the medium will be perfect. Max is a high grade chewer and 15 lbs. |
1 Attachment(s) I've always given my dogs the very natural and primal bone from the butcher called beef femur bones. (take the marrow out first) they are very cheap and last forever. :D Recreational Bones For Pets: Raw Beef Marrow Bones 2" |
