[NAGDU] Bones

Did you try the chicken flavored nylabone? It is in the shape of a circle
with nubs that get between his teeth. It is almost impossible for the dog to
bite it with their back teeth and are forced to sharpen the front teeth with
it.

Krokus had his annual checkup yesterday, and was fine.  The vet said his
front teeth, which I think of as his nibbling teeth, are a bit worn.  The
vet thinks Nylabones are very hard, and petrified bones are better for dog
teeth.  Those are the hard, hollow bones that sometimes are stuffed with
something alleged to be peanutbutter.

Do people have thoughts about the best kind of bones for chewing?  Krokus
doesn't really chew his bones with his nibbling teeth; he chews them with
his strong side teeth.  He's a strong chewer.  I feel he needs something to
chew when he's stressed or excited.  He always wants a bit of a scamper and
a chew when we come home from work.  Miller time for dogs.
