We have 3 big dogs. Buying the specialized
bones are generally out of the question. However, we do make one exception.
There is something you can purchase at PetSmart called Wholemeals. I just love
the concept (but not the price). They are actually a meal, in the form of a “bone”
complete with “marrow.” My dogs love them and look forward to getting them. Unfortunately,
it’s becoming a rare treat for them because of the cost -- $25 for a bag of 24.
But, my Pyr, For regular treats, we just hit up the
meat department of the grocery store, or visit our local butcher. For $3-4
dollars we can get some nice, big bones that have staying power. Jack, our lab,
loves to bury his, and “revisit” it a day or so later. Bea From: owner- It takes my Pyrs less than 2
minutes to complete eat one of these... pretty costly for a quick treat.

-0500 Have any of you tried Bully Sticks? I had vaguely
heard of them but I just discovered that the local sales rep is a neighbor.
He was surprised that I had never bought any for my dogs, not that he was
pushing a sale, but big dogs often need good chewy toys and he thinks these are
the best, no surprise there. Anyone have any experience with them?
They are a by-product from beef, a dehydrated penis. He also sells Moo
Sticks which are dehydrated trachea. The web site claims that that the
trachea has a lot of collagen and so is good for joint as well as being a long
lasting chew toy. Amy Windows Live™ Hotmail®: Chat. Store. Share. Do more with
