Guest ultraviolet79 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Hello, My Lilly had a dental yesterday where the vet had to remove her two big upper molars. He said those are the ones used for tearing food, so she probably can't safely eat her beloved moo tubes anymore. Does anyone know of any good chews that are softer and easier to bite through? I still plan to give our other hound his moo tube, but I want to be able to give Lilly something too so she doesn't feel left out. I was looking on the Best Bully Sticks website, but there isn't much info on how easy to chew things are. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

XTRAWLD Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 You'd be surprised what they can still tear through. Ryder as well is missing his big molars......does a fantastic job still on turkey neck, marrow bones, and other chews. Lots of dogs here have many teeth missing and still do great work on regular chews. I'd vote to stick with trachea for a while (moo tubes I'm assuming), they are much softer than most other chews. Bully sticks should be fine as well, but perhaps wait a bit for those gums to heal....

Guest ultraviolet79 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Thanks, XTRAWLD. It's good to know she might still be able to enjoy the trachea once her gums heal up. She and her brother get so excited for them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramonaghan Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Maybe lamb ears? Sweep gets them in her rotation and they soften quite a bit once they're nice and slobbery. Bonus: they don't stink and they digest easily. Quote Rachel with littermates Doolin and Willa, boss cat Tootie, and feline squatters Crumpet and Fezziwig.
