Steph M Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Hello! Wondering what everyone's all time favourite teething toys are? We have a wealth of frozen chicken wings, meaty bones and chews out the wazoo but any links to especially hardy teething toys would be much appreciated as the little guy is pretty strong already and growing like a weed.

Dory the Doted One Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Frozen bones here. Roo and lamb lumbars. Massive turkey necks. She's not interested in anything else unless its forbidden or cardboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph M Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 Gus loves his toys....we haven't lost one to the teeth yet, but he's getting harder and harder on them so time for a few new, hardcore ones. We have a freezer full of doggie bones and meat. Actually buying a chest freezer JUST for him. Sigh. Have to agree on the cardboard though, and the forbidden things. Namely my jammie pants and socks, the door snake (now retired) and runners. Everything lives in the laundry now. Haha, my house has never been less cluttered!

kelpiecuddles Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Cow hooves are very tough, much more tough than pigs ears and similiar. Someone I know fills the hollow bit in the middle with biscuits and a bit of salt reduced chicken stock and freezes them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaCC Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Antlers! And they don't smell or go gross like bones so they can have them inside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheena Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 The last lot of antlers I had, smelt when they got chewed & wet, so I tried cow hooves & they were worse. I was wanting something they could chew inside, but both were too smelly once they were slobbered on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaCC Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Odd, Nova has had his for 2 weeks now, doesn't smell at all he chews on it every day. Can you get dodgy antlers? I got mine from Petstock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simply Grand Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I got Saxon an antler piece from PetStock to try, he's not into bones and it shows on his teeth but he liked the antler! It didn't go smelly for me either. May have to try them for everyone but I'll look online, the bigger ones for the other dogs will be pricey at PetStock.

The ones I got on-line were lovely big ones that were full of marrow stuff & I think it was this that went smelly. The first lot they had were smaller & harder & hardly smelt at all. They lasted for many months until they got too small & I tossed them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simply Grand Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Ah yep, the PetStock ones are dry and hard. Probably not quite as tasty but much more pleasant for us hoomans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph M Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 They do sound good, can't hurt to try. Was looking for something he could have inside, as that's where the thieving tends to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nushie Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 So just went onto the Petstock website to find antlers. Do you guys get the "spilt" one or the "naturally shed" ones? I cant give Jager pigs ears but he is fine with Venison ears so i thought i would try antlers as i cannot give him other big bones to chew on.

No, its just the action of sucking & knawing away at the end, naturally gets it wet & smelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCNut Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) Petstock antlers treated with preservatives maybe? Just a thought...haven't tried them...sounds delish :laugh: Frozen carrots have been good but she goes through several big hunks of carrot a day...would love a more permanent solution :p I've never lost so many 'teething' toys with my current pup! I'd love to know of a bombproof one. I've tried the nylabone flavoured fish...that lasted a few hours. I've heard the original nylabones are good?

Steph M Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 Yeah, we lost a bacon nylabone! Seems antlers are about the best suggestion at this point. Carrot is a good one though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliwake Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 For those of you that use antlers - does their breath smell better than after chewing on meaty bones?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaCC Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 They don't smell at all after chewing antlers, great for preserving puppy breath I got the Naturally shed ones. Nova chews and slobbers on his and it hasn't gotten slimy or smelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliwake Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Sounds good Lisa - a better option than those disturbing minty fake bones :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
