Chewing blankets

[chadwick]

Everytime max has a blanket he seems to chew holes in it. 
Any idea how to get him to stop this? He has toys!
Any ideas

We have the same problem with Dax  - he has kongs filled with nice goodies, nylon bones, real bones and chew keys and he still chews on blankets  - we have bought a Tuffies bed which arrived this week - its great - it is the chew proof one - he can't get hold of the fabric to chew so he has to chew on the kongs and bones instead 

Nicola on here has one which she has had for ages and it is still going strong (which is how I found out about them) - they are not cheap but as I will have it for a long time is cheaper than buying cheaper beds which get chewed to bits 

The company are really nice to deal with - they made Daxes to my measurements (to fit his crate) which is large - it came within a week in the colour of my choice and cost £54. Might be worth a go.  The website is

Alfie is/was terrible for chewing beds and blankets, he completely destroys them so as Ludo said I got him and Tilly a Tuffies bed last year and it's been fantastic, I got them the really big one as they sleep together in the kitchen, it was about £85 but it was worth it, it's not got a mark on it which is nothing short of miraculous with Alfie. Rodaidh sleeps in his crate on blankets and he does chew them sometimes but I buy the £2.50 ones from Ikea for him so it's not really a big deal. I might pick up a smaller Tuffie for him if I see their stand at a game fair again this summer though.
