Nia has a few Nylabones and antlers laying around the house so that she can chew whenever she wants.

I give her bully sticks about 2 or 3 times a week as well and she loves those.

I'm not sure why but a while back Nia started having really bad diarrhea when eating raw. Like 10 min after eating it she's pooping 3 or 4 times every hour and is just miserable so I've stopped giving her RMBs for now. She was always fine with it until a couple months ago and within the last couple of months whenever I've tried she got sick. With kibble, canned and treats I can switch her up cold turkey whenever I want and she's perfectly fine with it, always has been. Used to be fine with raw too, not sure what changed.

A ferret when she can catch them ;)



Seriously though, she doesn't chew anything, other than her food and carrots :p She has no interest in it lol She will chew bully sticks, but they are expensive so she only really gets them on holidays

Chloe will occasionally have a beef bone or something if I pick one up for her at the store. Other than that...nothing. She's not the chewing type. I do like to have a beef bone laying around for her if she gets the urge, but it isn't a necessity. Rose, too. She likes beef bones and rawhides, but she doesn't have strong desire to chew. Both of them would turn their nose up at nylabones or any other type of "fake" chew.

Now, when we had Sadie (lab pup), we had nylabones coming out of our ears. LOL I think I'm going to have to invest in some deer antlers for future Lab puppy...

Teagan gets to chew bully sticks a few times a week and RMB, although I need to get my butt in gear as I dont give her those as often as I should.

She also gets nylabones, and used to chew them alot, but since I have been feeding her Prey model raw she has not been really touching them. Im guessing because she gets enough chewing action from the turkey and chicken necks as well as the pig ribs. But really who knows.
