Long Lasting chews

snow9dog · 08-17-2005, 07:19 AM

I'm looking for some long lasting (> half hour) chews for our dog
(Siberian Husky, 6 months old -- has all adult teeth now).
She seems to get bored with the rawhide bones and rolls because I think they are not as tasty and it takes a long time for her to make
headway on them. She LOVES pig ears, but they are gone in maybe
5-10 minutes. She also LOVES greenies, but again they are gone
even faster than the pig ears. I would like to find something healthy
for her. Also, she does not like nylabones, even the flavored ones.
I think it has to be a chew she can actually eat.

Any suggestions?

Choobles' Meaty Beef Bones from Petsmart.

They are cheap like $2 each and huge. My dogs go nuts over them, and have a hard time finishing them, but have yet to give up.

I use large knuckle bones, but I feed raw, if you don't, your dog will probably get some pretty loose poops for a little bit after eating one becuase their GI isn't used to that type of food. thye can last anywhere from 15 minutes to almost an hour

I do not have a large dog so I am not good on that advice but I would be careful giving your pup Greenie's my dog loves them but I have heard many horror stories about them getting stuck in the esophogus and/or small intestine requiring lots of money, surgery and in one case death.

Bully sticks are also someting that many dogs love and take some time for the average chewing dogs to go through.
