Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

Hi all!

I need to find a good treat for my 3 boys that will keep them occupied and happy for a couple hours? I tried bully sticks this week and wasn't too happy with them. I bought 3, 9in braided bully sticks and Kronos managed to get his into 3 small pieces so I took it and threw it away before he chocked. And the next morning my puppy threw up and had diarrhea so I'm assuming it didn't settle well with his stomach because that was the only thing that changed in his diet so there was nothing else that could have made him sick.

What are you giving your fur kids as special treats? And how long do they last? Any tummy issues?

I use elk/deer antlers. Gabby seems to like the split antler the best but some people will not use them in fear of the dog breaking/chipping teeth. They last quite some time (a few days) but she tends to lose interest in them once the marrow is gone.

I have tried a lot of the edible chews but Gabby tends to bite chunks off them and eats them hole. And tend to give her diarrhea as well.

I buy pet bones from the grocery store, which occupy the dogs for awhile until the marrow is gone. I also buy them rawhides but give them only under supervision. The best thing I can recommend is antlers. They're becoming a lot more common too. I even found some at Walmart!

The chews my two like the best, aren't necessarily the healthiest for them, and that's the rawhide bones. I just bought them a bag of antlers, and they hardly touch them, so I took them away and went to get them a rawhide and Mishka had it in her mouth and was running to her spot with it before I even could hand it to her. I've given mine beef bones, and they chew on them a bit, and then they're done with them.

I feed my girls frozen raw meaty beef bones. Miya, my older girl does great, and Sofie my 9 month old I have to take away if she starts to seriously chomp, she tends to not chew and swallows. I also feed cow ears, and they both take awhile to eat and never have issues, one of the few types of treats that do not bother either of their tummies. I can trust them to leave for an hour or two and they are safe eating them alone. I also give elk or moose split antlers. Deer antlers are just too hard for their teeth, and splits are actually safer than whole antlers for their teeth. When buying antlers, stick to the elk and moose, they are the softest, and mine take days even weeks to finish a good sized antler. Mine are picky, however, I only allow one type of treat for each girl, so they have no real choice, eat what I give them or don't haha. Those are my go to's and they last long and no tummy issues. I would refrain from the raw meaty bones when alone, until you know how they handle them, and also for some reason raw bones can make my older girl possessive, so they are crated when they have them.
