Bea, I was going to say the same thing about bones from the butcher. Bitty Girl loves them - I have them cut about 3-4 inches long so that my Lab, Timber, can suck all the marrow out of the middle. But need to watch out in the summer - stupid flies lay eggs in them - gross!

We'll stick with the Kongs. My father almost lost his Schnauzer a few weeks ago to an intestinal blockage - caused by a rawhide bone we'd given him. Granted, our prys are much bigger, but that also means they can tear off a larger portion. It's just not worth the "tariff." Instead, I get the largest bones the local butcher has to offer. > > Bea Stephens, RN > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Christine <chrissy@instant.net> > Subj: [pyrnet] Where are all the decent large animal dog chews? > Date: Wed Feb 10, 2010 4:29 pm > Size: 1K > To: pyrnet-l <pyrnet-l@pyrnet.org> > > > I've seen this topic before but have to ask again: > Where are all the decent large animal dog chews? Kodi barely touches the "BusyBone" brand dog chews. Don't get me wrong, he'll finally chew on one but I see more of them covered in dirt or mud scattered about on our property. He likes the Granola chews but I have only found them in medium dog size - and quite frankly they are overpriced at Walgreens. I don't mind spending extra for a brand called "Chicken Tops," (which are small) since Kodiak absolutely loves them. However those are more of a reward type of chew - and he finishes one in less than five minutes. > > Christine/Kodiak > > > > > To unsubscribe, send a message to esquire@pyrnet.org with > unsubscribe pyrnet-l@pyrnet.org > as the BODY of the message.
