Bones
We have two new Scotties we are "re-homing." I hesitate to say rescue because they were in a loving home, but for a variety of circumstances, they needed a new place to live. They are very good dogs, at 8 and 7, are great traveling companions. They love people. . . not other dogs so much, which is surprising since they were in a pack of 5. But my question is about bones. They love chewing and don't bother any furniture or anything. I bought them nylabones. They love them, but chew very vigorously and in a matter of a day or two have gnawed the ends to points, so I throw them away. My one girl would occasionally vomit and I found little pieces of the nylabone in the "upchuck." So obviously as she gnaws it, she is swallowing that. So we threw away the new ones and don't plan on buying any more.
What can they chew? I never liked real bone because it seems to splinter and years ago I had issues with that with other dogs. Same with rawhide. . . I had a dog swallow large chunks of it. I know the other dog chewed a rubber toy and had to have surgery to remove chunks from her tummy. They do have kongs, but don't play with them much and I put up all toys if we leave to go out.
Any suggestions?
