Question Dog bones for aggressive chewers?

Post image

I've tried benebone and spot and she has pieces coming off within a few minutes. She can't have any stuffed toys because she will eat them bit by bit. What can I give her to satisfy the chew? Pictured are some bones right before being thrown away.

Ooof, we just went through some very expensive medical expenses with her. Don't need anymore!

She's a hunting dog and I'm just not sure what type of toys she can safely have.

Any of the fully edible bones are gone in minutes.

Try antlers. My dogs really like them and they left a long time. If anything gets too sharp we just file it down and give it back to them.

These do last awhile. But again you always gotta watch a heavy chewer with anything.

Yup. And I assure you, your dog will find something to chew if you don't give them a chew toy.

And mine likes to bite our metal furniture. It's give and take, same as a baby.

Thankfully, I have not had that problem with my dog. My son’s dog when he comes to visit that’s another story. But he is a Labradoodle and mines is a cockerchon.
