Just had 8 month old lab pup at vets for a checkup and chat as part of his health plan.
Like most Labradors he loves chewing, but vet has advised against every chew he currently gets some chews that could damage his teeth. He says he shouldn't get:
Marrow bones from farm shop
Stag bars
Tennis balls
Paddy whacks
Pigs ears
Nylon bones
He says we shouldn't give him anything to chew which we can't make an indent in with our fingernail as he has seen dogs with cracked teeth chewing these things.
We also give him dried tripe and lambs skin which is softer, but doesn't last long. he has a kong. He destroys any stuffed/fabric/rope toy in minutes (including tuffies).
Is there anything else out there for dogs to chew which is long lasting, but teeth frendly?
