Our big dog goes through chews seemingly like they’re made of marshmallow. He isn’t interested in real bones, so I need something he will like the taste of, that is healthy (not rawhide), and will last.

Amy ideas?

Hextra CET chews. They help with keeping the teeth clean and breath not getting out of control. They also are designed to break down easier so you avoid potential obstructions.

Dont give raw hides, bones, antlers, etc.

Lacrosse balls. I have two Goldens ranging from 90-110 pounds. They last forever. In fact none of them have broken down after years of use. They love them. They bounce like crazy.

I’ve had incredible luck with Elk Horns. They’re expensive, but they last a long while

Yak cheese. Red barn stuffed bones, last a long time. Can stuff it yourself once they clean it out. They do break down over time so I toss once the bone can fit into mouth. But it takes a long time. Marrow bones. Can restuff when marrow gone.

Stay away from those awful smoked bones.

Bones. Yes actual bones. A cow femur lasts a good long while.

You’re dog is stupid if he isn’t interested in real bones. Try deer antlers
