[NAGDU] Chew toy alternatives

[Miranda]

Hi Tracy,
My girl has the Playology Beef-flavored bone and absolutely loves it! She cannot have anything hard like Nylabones, because she had a tooth extracted as a puppy. I would say that she is a moderate chewer, but her beef bone is probably one of her favorite toys. Also, I thought of West paw designs, as they have a Hurley bone that Crocus may enjoy. We do not have this bone yet, but if it is anything like the jive ball from the same company, that thing is basically indestructible. It is so hard that I would not throw it in our apartment, but it is soft enough that the dogs can chew on it without any problems at all.
I hope these suggestions help you and your boy.
