NEW TOY

[RachelJ]

KMart really is quite a bit less expensive than PetsMart for these. I got mine at PetsMart for 4.99 and when I checked the price at KMart, they were 3.69 there. I had to get mine at PetsMart though. Needed an excuse to go in there and lurk around to see if I could talk to any doggies.

Checked it out at K-Mart, but I can't bring it home!

The red nubbies were softer, but the white plastic underneath is very hard, and our vet told us never to let the dogs chew anything hard, as they are aggressive chewers. Boo broke a tooth on a hard chew toy, so I listen to my vet and only get softer chew toys.

Looks like a great toy for soft and moderate chewers , but those of us with aggrassive chewers will have to steer clear!

While running errands this morning I ran into PetsMart to pick up this toy and get my kitties some food. Unfortunately PetsMart didn't have any! When I got home Bella greeted me with her paws on her hips asking where it was! I apologized and told her I'll try K-Mart tomorrow!

Drake has 2 of these as well. He loves it. I do not know how well it cleans his teeth, but let me tell you about this bone that has worked wonders.

In May, Andrew's parent's had to take care of Drake for about 2 months while Andrew and I were moving and getting settled in. They didn't brush his teeth everyday like I do, so some tartar formed on his teeth. We were planning on taking him and getting them clean.2 days before the procedure, Andrew got Drake a "Knuckle". It was the grossest looking thing. Looked like a big joint! Drake loved it. He wouldn't part with it! After chewing on it all night and diminishing the size of the bone to about quarter of what it was, Drake's teeth were pearly white! No tartar no nothing! We tried the "Knuckle" on my grandfather's 3 year old GSD who has never had his teeth brushed, and his teeth are white as if her were 6 months old!

Try it!

I have to agree on those "knuckles"--or sterilized bones. I have 3 golden retrievers, and I always have them on hand for whenever they get in the mood to chew. After the newness wears off--they don't seem to demolish them as fast. I get the white ones-not the basted ones. I made the mistake of getting the basted ones once--and the dogs threw them up. I also agree--chewing the bones does wonders for their teeth.

Cute pics! I have seen those toys but Graham just dosen't chew much. He hardly uses the stuff that I do get him. As for teeth cleaning, I do brush Graham's teeth every other day or at least twice a week, but for a perfect cleaning what I use is a raw beef bone from the deli or the butcher shop. If it's kept raw it's soft enough to chew, and it does not splinter. It takes hours of constant chewing (that's the only thing he'll REALLY chew on) and his teeth end up as white as a puppies' teeth.
