Dog owners

[FP]

Just curious how long it takes your dog to go through a regular sized one.

We purchased one for our dog to clean his teeth and he went through about 1/4 of it in an hour. A significant portion of it is gone and I am concerned after reading about the horror stories online of dogs dying from it getting stuck in their intestines.

I guess thats a bone of some sort. I give my dog regular rawhide bones and chews.

They are just like any other fake bone product that is edible.

I was searching around the internet and found some pretty sad stories of owners who have lost their dogs. The troubling part was I found a site that had pictures of a surgery where a large piece of one of these was removed from a dog's intestine.

I was just concerned because my dog was able to consume a piece about the size of a silver dollar in about 10 minutes.

If this is bad, I can see a class action in the making.

Even Greenies had this scary blockage issue.

That is what worried me. The link is to the surgery that was performed on a dog who had a blockage.

So if Greenies and raw hides aren't ok what do other ATOTers give their dogs for dental health?

I just stick with milkbone items for treats. I have a lot of toys that my dog chews and spits out. some of the 'rope' based items floss his teeth.
