If you use antlers (and there are some hidden in my house somewhere) be careful walking around without shoes.

 

Thanks, guys.  I think I will check out the deer antlers and the Amazon toy.  I have some hunter acquaintances who can probably hook me up with some antlers.

  I've found these to be pretty durable (if they're the same brand and they look like they are).   They're fairly thick rubber and have a squeaky on the bottom so they can't puncture it like a tennis ball.   They bounce in erratic patterns when you throw them too which is always lots of fun.

  click for Amazon link then go back through one of Bill's links if you want to get any
The large ones were one of the 115 pound dog's favorites but they do come in different sizes

Our butcher has beef leg bones that he band-saws in two lengthwise.  Spock isn't much of a chewer but getting the marrow out of the centre keeps him happy for a good while.

I got a couple of bat-sized antlers for my chewers (one of whom is a pit bull) and they love 'em! Rawhides routinely have to be pulled out of choking dog throats. We call them "Choke'n'Chews."

Deer antlers are pretty much indestructible, but we also get big bags of rawhide bones from Costco. Better value than anything else we've found.

Ask your vet? My vet tech told me of a place in town to get "fresh" bones. I never got any because Middy's not much of a chewer.

I have two dogs who weigh 70  pounds.  Can anyone recommend good chew toys for them?  I googled that question and didn't really get a satisfactory answer.  They like to chew and have been working on some of my furniture. Boo.

To Petey. One of the best best friends ever.

Thanks.  

 

It's amazing how fast time goes anymore. I can still smell his stinky feet and feel his cold, wet nose pressed against me.

Here's to Petey the wonder dog.

Three years ago today I hugged Petey for the last time. Wow. Three years.
