HI I had to keep my little girl well rested last summer while she was suffering form a bout of panosteitis. So - I know the dilemma well. I found that the galileo Nylabones did quite well, the edible ones lasted 30 seconds, hardly useful at $5.00 each. Also, hooves are very long-lasting, but make sure he has access to lots of water. I also like frozen carrots, they are very healthy and seem to last a while. Booda bones are destroyed easily, and my berners take chunks off them which are of a size big enough to have blockage be a concern, same goes with rawhide, too dangerous. You should also try kongs stuffed with peanut butter or light cream cheese. There is a relatively new product called a Havaball, which is my favorite "leave them occupied" toy - similar to a Buster cube but with ridges you can put PB or cheese in and fill it with kibbles or other treats. Seems to keep them busy! Good luck with the battle - it's never quite as easy as the veterinarians lead you to beleive.

So what are the general thoughts about these other bones. Some are meant to be totally consumed - are they ok for our big babies? What size to people think are good for berners? And how do people feel about the ones that are not meant to be totally consumed but "small pieces may be ingested and will pass through"? > > Thanks a lot in advance! > > > > > > Cindy Buhner and Paws (the BARC rescue) > > > > --------------------------------- > Do you Yahoo!? > Yahoo!
