Puppy + Rawhide?? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

laasilve · 01-08-2008, 09:31 AM

I have a 10 month old little pup. and she goes through flossies like it's going out of style...and they arent cheap. Is it ok to give her a rawhide bone or stick once in a whike?? I give her nyla bones and she hides them for days and will eventually chew on them

Thanks!!

Which flossies are you giving her? Mine go through the 'generic' ones way too quickly so I only give them the Merrick brand now. As for rawhides, they aren't 100% digestable nor do my babies care for them so I don't go that route.

I get dental chews for mine..they chew on them a lot, and when they get a little smaller, I pitch them

I hate mine chewing on rawhides. It scares me to death that they will choke on them. Mine will lick them until they are soft and try to swallow the things in big pieces. One of mine was actually choking on a big piece and I had to pull it out of his throat. After that, I refuse to buy them even though they love chewing on them.

Carlos loves raw hide and he will chew the crap out of them. We have to watch because he gets blocked up from them. We use them as extra special treats.
