Chewies!
Ahh the quest for the perfect dog chew. Summer loves cow hooves- but they are super stinky! She gets rawhide in moderation. She doesn't show a ton of interest in nylabones (once they get a taste of the good stuff, who wants a boring nylabone?)
I think sterilized marrow bones (shin bones) have truly saved my furniture and my sanity. I'm super worried that Summer will choke on a big chunk of rawhide, or worse, get a blockage from a big chunk. I give her just the plain marrow bones, without the filling, because I have always questioned exactly what that "filling" is. She chews on them for about a day without anything in them, and then I fill them with my own goodies- peanut butter, cheese from a can (her favorite), or just a dog biscuit jammed in one of the ends. She can't get big chunks off, although she does eat some of the bone. One word of caution: they are bone hard, and some people may say that bones can break dogs teeth. I have never had it happen, but Summer is not a super aggressive chewer.
