The doghouse

Stick replacements please

My 8 month old cavapoo loves eating sticks. He crunches them down and spits out the bits. Obviously not a good idea! I’ve tried given him antlers, pizzle sticks, beef tails, stuffed kongs etc but he’ll ignore these and try to find sticks. Is there something I can give him that’ll give him the same sention as a stick please?

Our bulldog is very similar and we bought him this stick toy that he loves!

I would love to know
I’ve tried every stick replacement going but can’t find anything.
There’s plenty he can chew but not shred and spit out the bits in the same way. Added complication for me is that ddog prefers them when still attached to the tree!!!

I'm sure I read about another, harder wood recently too, I'll have a look.

I've seen (rather expensive) deer antler chews.

My dogs love a big raw carrot to crunch up.

Yak sticks!

They're not cheap but only thing our dog will work at for ages.

This brand is the real ones. Others are rubbish.
