Chew toy?

I bought my pup bunch of chew toys but she uses none of them lol she enjys chewing on hard plaastics and that stuff.... Anyone with a good idea of a homemade chew toy that they will love???

 

Deer antlers if you can get some. Sometimes I will take a toy that they lost or have no interest in and put peanut butter on/in it, mostly those big beef bones once they clean them off. Mine like rope toys, and they keep their teeth clean.

 

sweet thanks alot im going to look into it... asap..

 

get some cow hide, I've never seen a dog that didnt love it, they can't resist the SMELL...

 

http://www.k911.biz/Petsafety/RawhideandChewyTreats.htm i was searching for the cowhide and this what i came across....think its true??

 

I don't buy my dogs stuffed anything, not that they don't get one of my kids stuffed animals form time to time. I have read artciles about the stuffing inside can be fire-retardant(sp?) and harmful. The ropes I get at petsmart in the doggy toys section, probably could save money and make your own. I when I had small dogs we used to get raw hides, don't anymore. They are nasty, all wet and can choke. I use the natural bones again from a pet store. You can get antlers from a pet store too, but they will cost you. If you hunt or hike get them that way. Any animal hide will do if you can get them, just cow is sold more commercially. Just what I prefer to do, my apbt mutt is a house dog and yes she has destroyed stuff before that she gets so I know what you mean.

 

Hog wash... a dog can choke on nething... Every dog i've ever owned played with a hide @ some point or another with no problems...

I've had problems with dogs chewing on there houses and causing blockages but NEVER ne problems using a hide.

BTW im talking about this type of hide, not rawhide sticks from petsmart

 

Like MCS said. Deer antlers work well.

 

she loves the antlers thanks

 

I use old cotton t-shirts tied in a knot. We also have a Kong, but I'm not sure how long it will last.

 

hide or big fresh beef knnee or leg bone, with meat on it

 

old shoes

Empty semi smashed water bottle or soda bottle with the cap on it

 

I was going to say a soda bottle with cap on but my dog came to me with this habit and its fckn annoying. He turns all our drinks into sprinklers.

 

cant go wrong wit the rope bones n they're cheap at walmart

 

Man o man do my dogs LOVE empty water bottles. I take the caps and rings off tho because I've seen one of mine swallow a cap whole after he chewed it off...

 

hahaha ya i dont want to give her bottles cuz dont want her to get used to it, the elk antlers seem to be a magnet for her shes wont get off it

 

The the OP, I would recommend the raw meaty bones like Buck E. Mine go ape shit for that stuff. The hide on the otherhand, see if it works for you. If I left out hide for them to chew, they would eat the hair so that doesnt work for my particular situation but it might for yours.

Please tell me you are joking...

 

hahaha ya im actually gonna head over to a butchers shop right away.... so beef knee or leg bone??

 

i'd prolly go for the knee. i know sometimes those big long weight-bearing bones of the larger animals like cattle can chip/break a dog's teeth.

not to mention there's lots of fun tissue in the knee for gnawing. just keep an eye on ur dog while they chew it to make sure they're not a "gulper".

but long rib bones are fun if ur dog is a gulper.

just pick up a few things and have fun with it.
