Stoney Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Dave - our new boy - loves to chew on ANYTHING plastic. Most frequently it's Sarah's toys that take the brunt of the chewing. If he was chewing on anything else I would use bitter apple on it, but since Sarah puts the toys in her mouth & rubs her eyes etc I don't think that's exactly safe. Aside from cleaning up ALL THE TIME - do you guys have any suggestions on keeping him from chewing the plastic toys & non toys (today I caught him with the Roku remote...)?

seeh2o Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Nylabone Dinosaurs? Carl LOVES these and will chew on them for up to an hour at a time.

kamsmom Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 My kids and I had to learn the hard way. The only way to keep things safe is to put them away. Unfortunately for us we lost several stuffed toys and a few of my favorite heels and tennis shoes were succombed before I finally learned.

Guest BlackandTan Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Gary was a chewer at first.... I introduced him to bully sticks and he has never chewed on anything since! Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to train yourselves to put shoes off the floor (lost several to that), toys on a shelf or toy box and remotes in a drawer. Except for an occasional shoe before I trained myself Barkley and Poodle are mostly interested in paper which is a pain to pick up but yesterdays newspaper is no big loss.

Stoney Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 I'll try the nylabone dino... might just work! He loves 'treats' - we've been giving them less as a chew thing and more as a snack. Beef Tracheas & ligaments are the big ones here - might have to get some bully sticks (we've had them before so I know at least Beans loves them). Maybe it is just a matter of training US rather than DAVE... Quote ClayGreys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feisty49 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Behind closed doors and off the floor. Annie Bella loves the feet and hands on plastic toy dolls, from dollhouse size to Barbie doll size. I've got quite a few quad amputees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlackandTan Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I also have a Dino... Gary never cared for it but Senko loves it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3greytjoys Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Our hounds' favorites are hard "Durachew" made by Nylabone. "Souper" size is one of the safer sizes for Greyhounds. Chicken or bacon flavor. After much research and years of strong chewer testing, the top 2 Durachews in this link have been quite safe for Greyhounds (without any narrow parts potentially causing a choke hazard). http://entirelypets.ecomm-search.com/search?query=durachew+souper&x=29&y=14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
