Can I assume none of you give rawhide treats?

[skinnydipper]

Oh thanks lovely I just looked at them on the french site . They might work very well !

Moon bone is another good chew if you can get it. A decent size piece is a bit pricey for a daily treat, more an occasional treat (expect to pay about £2 for large).

It is shoulder cartilage not bone

Bear has a pig’s ear every night. The vet was horrified! I couldn’t find anything decent in Morrisons this week, looking for softer treats, Bear has had a lump under his tongue which thank god has disappeared. (Vet mentioned cancer, I had hysterics) I’ve gone back to the ears.

I give dried fish skin - it makes a satisfying crunch and the dog loves them. You can get quite big ones for bigger dogs.

A bit like these
Fishy things

Our two like to have dried bully sticks which last them a couple of hours. I don't like having to pick up chews that are soggy at one end so whatever we get for our pair needs to be something they'll finish without me having to pick up an utterly manky thing with hair and bits of carpet stuck to one end.

Ours also like the dried fish skin sticks. Millies wolfheart used to do a lot of dried naturap treats for dogs.

Our labs love these and they last for a couple of weeks. We do have to keep an eye though when they eventually get near to just one knuckle end remaining and throw it away. Being labs the temptation to just inhale that last choke size piece would be inevitable!https://www.petstop.ie/zeus-nosh-wo...m5TT69qyeXs-0MqIg8bsQK0aAhmiEALw_wcB#217=1271

Just thought that the other treat/ chew I feed is a carrot. Whenever I've googled them in the past they seem to be recommended as good for them, does anyone know if that's true?

They're handy for the same sort of thing where you want something that takes a bit longer to chew than a biscuit.

True.
Our vet recommended giving puppy carrots to stop her eating shoes when she was teething ?
We used to have a dog who liked apples and pears as well - but no idea if those are good for them or not. She stole them from the garden where they'd fallen off trees.

Paddywack is great, you can buy it in small packs but when we had our pet shop we would split a box, pieces were between 2” and 12” long. It is dried sinew and so comes of in ‘threads’ of tissue. Not too revolting to have around and doesn’t stink.

 

[Quigleyandme]

As an alternative what about one of those puzzle feeders?

Mine have nylabones and they last ages and ages. Chester is a serious chewer at the moment so they’re a very good alternative to chewing my furniture

I had given rawhide in the past and only if I was going to be home. Now that it is almost impossible to find something not made in China. Now they get raw turkey necks when I can find them and raw marrow bones that are thawed when I can find those. When I leave the house Rudy gets half a handful of dog biscuits and Freddie gets one. If she gets more Rudy eats them.

I bought something from Farm Hounds that was highly recommended. They were not cheap and my dogs didn't like them. I gave them to the friend who gave me the chickens. Her Rudy/Sunny daughter loves them. and one lasts her for weeks.

I think that’s a really good treat.

I tend to give these as can't be doing with anything that looks remotely likes it actually come from an animal ? https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/gol-ui/product/good-boy-duck-fillets-dog-treats-320g

Wow, thank you so much
I had to look up paddywack and bully sticks! So many names for bulls willies . I had no idea
The world of dog treats and chews is as varied and as confusing as ' which cat food to buy '.
I like the idea of tendons and pizzles best. Think they will last a bit of time as a nice treat, but be completely eaten rather than hang around possibly causing conflict. The older Weim and newbie Weim are great friends and ive had no source guarding issues at all , but I never take a chance after seeing what my SIL's rescue Boxer did to her Chi when she left them with a couple of pig ears . Stuff of nightmares.
Thanks again and thanks from my ridiculous, but wonderful dogs

Look at that cat what a dude .

Lol. My little Rosie . The sweetest gem i've ever had. She adores the Weims and they her. She lumps herself on both of them any time she likes and they just shuffle themselves around to make space for her.

…for once I didn’t see the cat,I was admiring the beautiful cast iron bed..what luxury….I imagine it’s a shadyhub creation. Defitely marketable,have you see them online..they are a very high end and extremely swish.

Oh bless you Bella .For once its not one of our creations but a rather uncomfortable sofa that tries to swallow my arse when I sit on it. xx

No to rawhide here but mine get lamb/ewe/tup horns (the benefit of being married to a shepherd), raw non weight bearing bones, dried fish skins and I did treat them to ostrich bones once but at £10 each it can be a special occasion only treat ?

This company is brilliant for healthy dog food and treats. They also sell lamb and rabbit ears but I cannot feed them to my dog, they freak me out to be honest! https://naturalchoicepetfoods.co.uk/
