[NAGDU] Chew toy alternatives

[Melissa Allman]

Hi all. Luna had a tooth extracted as well and cannot have Nila bones anymore but I have found that she does like the west paw toys especially the ones I can put kibble in.

 The best alternatives we have right now to Nila bones are  Benebones. She loves to chew on them and fingers crossed, we have not had any more issues. They do not last quite as long however. Good luck Sent from my iPhone

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.
