| IF NOT Rawhide THEN WHAT??? Okay so it's the age old debate about letting dogs have rawhide? Mine loves to chew it, and chew it, and chew it until there is not a piece left of it. But some YT members and myself think it could be a possible contributor to a Hacking Sound he occasionally makes. Although he makes this sound even when he's not chewing rawhide. Let me know what your puppy loves to chew on please!

| I also use Nylabones...but not the plastic ones...I use the Healthy Edibles Nylabones that are made from real stuff and baked. They are 100% digestible (or so the box says). I want to try bully sticks, too. I have never heard of Flossies, but it sounds like something I should try! |

| Yep, bully sticks! Tatum loves them! I had a really hard time weaning her off of the Greenies because she always got one after a bath. I tried substituting the Edible Nylabone things for a Greenie since it's the same color but she didn't fall for that. I've started now saving one kind of special treat for after-bath times and it's the dried lamb lung treats that you can get at Wal-Mart (thanks to Villette for that suggestion a long time ago). I don't know how great those are for her but I'm sure they are better than the Greenies. Then I usually give her a new fresh bully stick then too.

| Rawhide Replacement So it appears that Flossies by Merrick and the 'bully stick' are the main choice of chewies. Exactly where can i find these? Thanks everyone.
