A new treat that the dogs love!
« on: September 03, 2010, 05:02:10 PM »
I popped into the pet shop in town today and found these crocodile shaped vegetable chew treats! They were only 55p so I brought a couple and gave them the dogs!
I think it's fair to say they loved them, Bouncer (classic lab) scoffted it down within 5 mins whereas it lasted a little longer with Charlie. Seems like they have given them the thumbs up!  :D

If your dog thinks you're the best.....don't seek a second opinion!!

We get these too for Mason - they are called Antos chews - he loves them  :luv:.  They come in all different shapes and colours and are also a very healthy vegetable based chew.  Tesco & Asda do the exact same product (the toothbrush shaped ones) in a pack of four for half the price that the Antos ones cost  :D and the ingredient list is exactly the same  ;)

http://www.tesco.com/groceries/Product/Details/?id=259702358   £2.03 for four chews

Slightly cheaper at Asda but the chews are a bit smaller.

The Antos chews are a big hit here too, they get the crocodiles and the hedgehogs :005:

Does anyone know if they are suitable for puppies, and, if so, from what age?

On the box in the shop it said suitable for puppies, not sure from what age though. My auntie has a puppy of about 3 months (i think :huh:) and buys them for her & she loves them.  :D

I bought a couple of the green ones a while ago and William sicked his up on the hall runner during the night  :005:. Louis was fine with his, but then he seems to have a very robust digestive system.

We buy the hedgehogs too. Alfie was having them at about 4-5 months with no problems (just took a while to eat them due to teething!) xxx

I've found them on the VET UK site: http://www.vetuk.co.uk/dog-treats-antos-chews-c-223_601_620/antos-crocodile-natural-edible-dog-chew-p-4250 Haven't checked on what the postage cost is though.
