How is Nebo this morning??

Have you tried a dab or two of tobasco sauce to stop the chewing? My RB dog Sami chewed everything as a pup and she loved all the sprays that she shouldn't have. The only thing that saved the corner of the cupboards was painting it with tobasco sauce, she didn't like that.

Nebo is acting fine this morning. He's 4 years old, he'll be 5 in May. He has a combination of metal and plastic tags, but its not the tags she chews on its one of these (the tags are inside)

It is a new one I just put it on a few days ago, she chewed up the old one so bad I threw it away. They are $8 a piece so it's getting expensive. I don't know if I dare try anything else, I'll just buy more tag holders after she kills them...I just want Nebo to be ok.

Archie and Tobey used to do the same to all their tags - they now have little steel canisters with their names and addresses written on a piece of paper inside - so far they are still intact!

Glad to hear Nebo is okay - sounds like you were right with your diagnosis

If the reason you have the tags in that bag is to keep his jingeling tags quiet, then instead of buying another one you can just tape them together to keep them quiet until the little trouble making girl stops chewing on it!
Just a thought.

Actually the reason is because his tags stain the white fur on his neck really bad, and as a groomer, it drove me crazy.

It's taken over a year with the tag holders to even get rid of the stains they wouldn't come off with any shampoo I tried. He wears a thick rolled leather collar and he has multiple tags (ID, rabies, city license, microchip, etc.) so any sort of tag that goes on the actual collar doesn't really work. Tape might work though and keep the stains off, I may try it, thanks.

I wonder if you can buy neoprene? Thats what quiet spots are made out of they look fairly easy to make.

I hope Nebo is doing okay today. Give the cutie pie a big hug for me.

What about plastic tags? Mine both have plastic tags, I dont see how they would stain but mine don't have white fur either...

Poor Nebo

Don't be so hard on yourself either...I hope he's all better now.
