Bones for baby

[CVC]

Lord I cannot stand those stick, yucky chew things , My Hans LOVES to bring whatever he is chewing on over to mommy or daddy for us to hold the thing while he gnaws away…did I mention he was spoiled? We tried bones but they stink and stain his white paws and our furniture. He likes to gnaw his goodies on the furniture…usually the most expensive piece in whatever room we are in…Antlers to the rescue! I found these at the local doggie boutique and they are a dream come true for everybody! They are clean, do not get sticky, don’t stain and once he starts on one end he typically stays with that end for most of the time so the other end stays pretty dry and clean. It is easy for mommy or daddy to hold while our boy gnaws away. There are no splinters and the center of the antler is full of vitamins and minerals plus…it last for months!

Like I said…dream chewy a winner all around.
Hans will have the cleanest teeth in town and our furniture is saved. When he has found his grove on this chew his eyes literally roll up and he goes to town…

Hawkeye LOVES his bully sticks, even though they are stinky! Unfortunately, his favorite place to chew them is on my lap, or if I'm lying down, right up by my face. Blech! I put up with it because he loves them so! LOL

I'm going to have to disagree with everyone here.

Uncooked (being the keyword!) are safe for dogs. It is advise to not give weight bearing bones (not that it would matter for a yorkie) to dogs because they can cause some harm to their teeth, but yes bones are safe to give.

I feed a raw diet and Duke has gotten all kinds of raw bones and Piper will be feed raw as soon as I finish the bag of kibble now that she is 6 months.

From what I hear they are very healthy and easily digestible. My boys love them. They aren't bad at all and just look like sticks or bones (well, they are a little disgusting after they've been "worked on")

I think most people assume cooked bones. Cooked bones splinter and that is where the problem lies. In the wild i.e. raw diets, dogs obviously did not eat cooked bones. Cooked bones are extremely dangerous in any form, and from any animal. You are right. Raw is safe.

I wouldn't give my dogs Greenie chews. Too many problems if you research them.
