| What kind of chew? I have a 19 week old who needs to chew. The bully sticks give her loose stools and I have heard that raw hide is toxic. She is chewing on everything and I want to give her something that won't make her sick. Any suggestions?

Donating YT 500 Club Member | My girls like the Himalayan chews....Bridget was (and still is) a power chewer - I think these chews helped keep my dresser from becoming a night-stand! They last forever!!!

| Jackson loves Himlaylan chews. Not as much as bully sticks, but they're his second favorite. I like them because they last forever! They can chew and chew and barely get any off. So it's great. A medium size lasts my 15lb dog a month or more. Also, have you tried Nylabones? I know some don't recommend them, and Jackson doesn't like them, but they pretty much last forever and are good for puppy chewers.

| I have found the same problem with the bully sticks. They make my dog vomit. This is contrary to everything I have read here. The majority of people like them. I would not give them to my dog. I've thrown the ones I bought out. I do have luck with flossies, NOT BULLY STICKS. Flossies and bully sticks are not the same thing. They sell Flossies in smaller pet stores, or on Amazon. My Gio tolerates them and loves to chew on the flossies.

| I buy beef shanks, make a pot of soup and give the cleaned bones to the kids. I know that there is a lot of controvery about giving "cooked bones" because of splintering, but I have never had this problem with the shanks. I also give beef rib bones. When the bones get disgusting and slimy I run them through the dish washer. Some of the bones are several years old and I have only had to discard a couple because of wear. With the shanks, you can rub peanut butter, cream cheese, etc. in the middle for an extra treat. Antlers are another good chew treat that last forever. If you know a hunter ask for extra antlers, cut the sharp tips off and then to 7" - 8" lengths. |

| Do the antlers have a smell & do they make yours very thirsty? I also have to get away from the bullies b/c it makes Snick so thirsty that he drinks a ton of water and has an occasional pee-pee accident in the house when we are not home. I need to give the Himilayans anothet whirl.... Snick & Viv

The antlers that I use have very little smell. My neighbor who hunts keeps me supplied. I forgot to mention that I run them through the dishwasher to sanitize them before letting the kids chew on them. I haven't noticed excessive water drinking after chewing sessions. | |

"We really don’t have to say much about this treat at all because it sells itself. For those of you who are use to Flossies and have pooches that absolutely love them, here they are. We have not met a dog yet who has turned down one of these tasty treats. Merrick Flossies beef tendons are a curly bully stick that come from USA cattle. They are great for small or big dogs and are 6″ to 8″ in length. Like all curly bully sticks these are great for creating natural friction in you pooches mouth which makes for pearly white teeth!" I know most sites like to just call the Flossies a curly beef tendon. Sure it is a tendon, so is a bully stick. It doesn't matter if it seems gross, they are still good for our pups and most seem to like them.
