Good Rawhide Alternatives??

[Sam&Bella]

Hello Again!

Does anyone have any recommendations for good quality rawhide alternatives? I have been reading about rawhide and know about the dangers. (toxins, choking, sommonela, etc..)  I would prefer not to give her bully sticks because of the smell and some other reasons.. I have seen these dental things called "Whimzies" at PetSmart and Petco and was wondering how long they last, and are they good for them? Long-lasting chewy things keep her busy and out of the garbage can ;)

Also, are there any good brands in Pet Stores?

Thanks! :^)

We have all kinds of recommendations and discussions about all kinds of chews in The Food Group. Also recommended brands and sourcing.

Cooper likes Benebone (picture attached). This seems to last forever. I recently discovered it, highly recommend it. He also likes Himalayan dog chew. I've been giving him for a while.

We just tried Whimzies. It seems to be one of the longer lasting dental chew, takes Cooper about 7 minutes to finish the porcupine one. I don't really like the way his poo looks the next day so I stopped giving it to him.

Benebone

Thank you! I have seen the Benebone before but wasn't sure if it was good or not. Next time we go to the pet store I will get it:) I have also heard about the Himalayan dog chew, but never saw it before.

I just started giving Teddy the Whimzies, but he goes through them in like 5 minutes. Was also giving him the Himalayan bones for a long time, which he loves- only problem is once it gets down to a small enough size he swallows it and then feels sick for a day and ends up throwing it up. Would love to find something safe that he loves and would last long!

Nicole, did you know you can microwave it once it gets to a small size? The instruction is in the back of the bag. Cooper LOVES it when I microwave it for him. It puffs up and it's like eating one giant popcorn. Lol

[Nicole and Teddy]

Jenny, I have microwaved them before and Teddy loves them too- it's getting him to pry his mouth open when they get small to get them out that's the problem!!! Ha!

[Jenny and Cooper]

Ooooooooh lol. I see :). I would tell Cooper that I'm going to "make it hot" for him and he drops it right away. Then he'll go wait at the microwave. LOL.

A friend recently discovered and recommended No-Hide Chicken Chews from Earth Animal, and my two love these. They last a long time, and are made in the USA. As with any type of chew, you'll obviously need to supervise. I have been buying the largest size available, and when they get too small, I take them away.  http://www.earthanimal.com/earth-animal-treats-and-chews/no-hide-ch...
