| can you try the chewy sweet potato or chicken jerky treats from blue mountain? I got some that promote joint health. I do sit with her and give her it and hold one end for her but she gets to chew away. Im lucky she is not a big chewer, she has no interest in anything that isnt food related to chew.. |

| I bought a bully stick last night for the first time at PetSmart. Our Buddy LOVED it! Chewed on it almost all evening and there's still 90% of it left! |

| My girls like chews by Himalayan Chews. They are hard and are make of Yaks milk and smell like cheese. The girls love them! I also like like chew by Etta Says! They are very safe and break up into small pieces. |

| Can you tell me which chews you get from them? I ordered some for the first time last week and I don't know if I got the ones everyone else gets. They are hard like you say, but my girl won't touch them. My big boy seems to like them, but their size seems dangerous for him (like he could easily have one slide right down his throat)

Nevermind, I just saw the fat content on one brand was less than 1 percent, that's pretty good.

YT 2000 Club Member | I have always bought my girls bully's to chew, however my husband decided they needed something else and against my advice gave them rawhide. Maggie is a very aggressive chewer, she chewed off and swallowed some of the rawhide. A couple days later I was bathing and trimming the girls and I noticed something stuck on Maggie's bum. I pulled on it and it just kept coming (out of her bum) a twisted piece of rawhide followed by diarrhea. My poor baby! I was so glad that I had decided to bath them that day. I will never ever ever never give my babies rawhide again. Thank goodness she is alright, no problems, but it could have been much worse. I dont know why they sell something for pets to chew on that has the potential to kill them! Only bully's for chewing here.

| Mine chew on bully sticks, nylone type bones, Kongs, raw bones (I remove the marrow) or splint antlers. Occasionally they will get a pig ear 1 for the 3 yorkies to share and 1 for Buddy the golden. None of mine are aggressive chewers so I am not worried about them harming their teeth on antlers.

| I've seen several mentions of removing the marrow from bones? Why? I thought it was good for them?

| I admit to being guilty of letting Sam have a rawhide. It's his extra special treat - only when I am brushing him out. It distracts him long enough to protect my fingers from him. He is an anxious chewer. When we are finished with brushing, I take the rawhide away and he gets treats and loving. I cut the soft/wet part of the rawhide in a zip baggie and it goes into the grooming bag until the next brushing. If he just needs something to occupy him and I'm doing something else, he gets a bully.

| The marrow can be too rich for many dogs
