[NAGDU] Bones

[sonfire11 at gmail.com]

It keeps his front teeth sharp because he can't just continuously scrape
back and forth on it. He has to be strategic and nit picky with his method
of biting on it. It forces him to think about how to attack the chewing
problem and becomes a puzzle to solve rather than an outlet for stress
relief. Alec does have the flat shaft bone to go wild with, but he is
usually good about splitting his time between both bones. Usually he goes
for the flat bone after a good walk or successful obedience set and the
circle bone at night as a wind down toy.

I never saw the circular Nylabone, but, if Krokus's front teeth are getting
worn, maybe it's not a good idea for him.

If the Nylabone is small enough for her to gnaw the end off, I toss it as
soon as gets flat.  That is why I buy the bigger round ones with a knot at
each end. Both our pet dog and Get a lot of satisfaction from the nubby
circular Nylabone one that sonfire11 mentioned.

which seem good, but he gnaws one side down flat after a while.  Then I
suppose they could be nibbled.
