Title: Puppy Treats
Post by: nickycnc on January 17, 2008, 04:45:14 PM

Not sure if this should be under feeding??? Sorry if it should be ph34r

Can I give my 9 week old cocker raw hide type chews. I gave her one which she was loving until I read 'Not for puppies under 3 months'. It looked like it was going to keep her quite for a while ;), but not sure if its too hard for her teeth/gums. I won't give it to her again until she's grown up more - unless anyone can tell me differently or suggest something else, but it seems all puppy chews are for 3 months+. :-\

Hi - have you tried nylon bones (I think thats what they are called) - they are puppy sized and nice for them to chomp on  :005: - Pets at Home sell them - Hope that helps  :blink:

Yes these are great, I dont like rawhide chews even for the adult dogs, as A: im frightened they choke on them and B: after a thread on here im not 100% sure what they are made of  :-\ :D

Have you tried baby carrots too? Roxy likes those along with a nylabone or a stuffed Kong.
