why do some and some don't? I was reading the thread about having to choose between puppy and BF, well her dog is chewing things up, I just wonder if it's not getting it's nutrition, Kloey has never chewed up anything in the house, so why do some dogs chew up things and others don't? I give her a bully stix to chew on and she does chew that. |
I think it varies from dog to dog, but think supervision is the key. Ramsey is with me 24/7, no kidding, but if my attention is diverted...I've caught her chewing items that she shouldn't. At those times, I remove whatever she's found to amuse herself with something appropriate. |
lexi never chewed anything really, i also gave her bullysticks from the begining.... actually she is NEVER without one...she can eat them at anytime of day or nite...when she gets tired , she stops... |
Stormy is with me all day long. He's never had a chewing problem. I do believe that some dogs may chew out of boredom. Just my opinion... |
I dont know why this is. I do know that My Male would chew up any thing and every thing when I would leave him. My female has neved chewed up any thing. |

Cali will chew on wood and metal. She is eating the wood frame on my box spring. I have to watch her every second when under my bed. |
Patti, Do you give her the bully stix? What is her diet like? This is so strange! |
What is a bully stick. |
digestable chews for dogs....great for them, keeps them busy and they love it. its made from real bulls penis.. kinda smelly, but worth every penny.. e-petboutique.com... in bulk 12 inch.... |

But I guess they do the job LOL I get mine at are local pet store and there about $3.00 for a long stick. Is that to much? :idontknow |
Max and Abbie chew when they are not supervised which is why they are crated when they are not supervised. It definitely is not as bad as when they were very young but they still chew occasionally when they are bored. I just divert their attention to something fun and they forget all about what they were chewing |
My female never chewed and my male (puppy) tries to chew anything. Of course he is the one who is 6 mos. and hasn't gotten any permanent teeth in so maybe he's a perpetual teether. :rolleyes: |
I always have wondered because my friends yorkie chews through EVERYTHING. He's like a pirhana (sp). Coco hasn't chewed anything. A couple of times I've caught her chewing my carpet when she was younger but some bitter apple helped with that. I've left shoes around, cords, ect. she's never chewed it up. I don't know what it could be. But I also never left her unattended for a second as a pup, and always made her understand when she did something wrong. |
come to think of it, now you reminded me nobella, lexi did chew on something. my carpets.. totally forgot, was such a long time ago....they do get over it.. |
Well, yougetthesmiles, I'd like to say that Joey doesn't chew on inappropriate items because 1) he gets all the nutrition he needs and 2) he is well-trained. BUT, I don't think that is the case. I think that it varies from dog to dog just like the sucking need varies alot in human babies. I let Joey chew on things that other members here don't think are safe (rawhide and pigs ears). I tend to think that he gets his chewing needs met that way, but, heck, I honestly don't know what the answer is! |
I keep Reggie in our bathroom when we're gone and he's chewed on the corner edge of the vanity (I put soap on it and I think he's stopped) and then on the corner of the trim for the linen closet. So Bully stix are ok and won't make the puppies sick? Or get stuck in their intestines as far as anyone knows? |
as far as i know completly digestable... lexi has them 24/7 with no problem at all....and her teeth are pearly white and clean tooo from them,, |
Oscar only chewed out of boredom. We were busy and not watching him. He has not chewed on anything in a VERY long time. I think his daddy made a believer out of him the last time he chewed the computer power supply cord in half. :eek: |
Dezi is 14 weeks old and she chews on everything. Wood, metal, plastic, carpet, toes, and fingers. My sister has two yorkies and they never chewed on things. I bought Dezi edible Nylabone and she loves it, but is quite messy, when its gets all soggie. I may try the bully stix. |

Princess is with me 24/7. She chewed on my LV purse, but it wasn't her fault. Daddy was watching his little girl when Mom was in the shower, only football was on, so she had to find something to play with. Yes her daddy did buy me a new purse, he didn't like it too much, but it was his fault not hers. ;) ;) ;) I'm not really sure why they chew, but Princess chews on her toys all the time, and she has really strong teeth. :) :) :) |
My girls really havent chewed on anything of any value that they were not supposed to. But I have my eye on the constantly and I keep things put up! |
Another anti-chew suggestion....gel deodorant. I did put this on my woodwork and furniture because I was worried Trace would chew it....never touched anything. And to dispell the male/female myth. Trace (male) didn't chew "stuff"....Ramsey (female) would like to :rolleyes: |
Duncan will be 1 on Monday and he is chewing on different things like cords, magazines,DVD, socks,shoes, etc. I would give him bully sticks but Bo has pancreatitis and he will chew on it also and get sick from it. When Bo was younger he never chewed on much of anything. Duncan is pretty active though. |
