Best chews?

Suggestions for best chew toys for a cocker spaniel puppy? She's at a very chewy and bitey stage which I understand she'll grow out of, but just looking for suggestions on what would be a good chew for her in the meantime.

Get a tea-towel, soak it in water then wring it out. Bung it in the freezer for a few hours and then give to the puppy. Only downside is when it warms up and the floor gets a bit damp.

It's my go-to option whenever one of my dogs has a litter and I'm getting the pups ready for their new homes. My youngest dog still considers a tea-towel to be his favourite toy (which may say a lot about my dog ownership skills tbh...)

yaks and antlers are both great. Ime soft toys last minutes and they get to the squeaky bit which my pup ate and vomitted blood 🙈 we now don’t give toys with squeaky things.

Frozen tea towels are great. Also frozen carrots or broccoli stalks, fresh or frozen.

I used to freeze a bit of stock flavoured water in a tough plastic pot and give it to her as an ice lolly. Kongs we're good too. She loved a yakker too.

A mother good thing is hiding treats in a box of balled up paper or In toilet rolls. Or a treat mat. It distracts them from chewing and tires them out.

Sitting watching my 14 week old pup chew on a goats ear from Chomp and Chew. He loves it and it is keeping him occupied. I bought a box of assorted ears which are meant to be ok for puppies before Christmas. The pig ear gave him an upset tum, rabbit ears last seconds but the goat ear seems to be going down well!

How old is the pup? My spaniel pup had a box of puppy safe natural chews from Chomp & Chew when he was on the younger side. I wouldn't give a yak or antler to a puppy as they are so hard. Mine is now 6 months and I've only just started giving him yak chews.
