Question

My 9 month old dog is still wanting to chew, i give her chew bones but they upset her stomach, what can i do?

Answer 1

The adult molars are setting in the jaw around the 9-12 month age in some dogs.  It usually makes them want to chew more.  Try nylabones they are not for eating, are super strong and will satisfy your dogs urge to chew.

Answer 2

Define 'chew bones'?  If they are rawhide, no wonder!  Rawhide is not very digestible and sits in their stomach for a long time.  I would recommend the following highly digestible and safe chew items:

Raw bones.  Get them from any local butcher.  Non-weight-bearing is best.  Beef, lamb, even chicken or turkey necks are very safe and great for their teeth.  Make sure they still have meat clinging to them.  They are very safe as long as they are uncooked and kept frozen until you are ready to use them to avoid spoilage.  

Bully Sticks.  Available at a lot of feed stores and pet stores.  Even PetSmart now carries them.  I recommend the Merrick brand if you can find them, they are more durable and don't have an odor the way some of the cheaper brands do.  

Flossies.  Made by Merrick, you can find them for sale online or in local pet shops that carry Merrick products, their website has a store finder.  They are spiral-shaped dried tendons, great for teeth and should not upset your dog's tummy.  

Good luck!

Answer 3

Well since your dog is still teething that means she still has teeth coming in. If you get her a special toy that she can chew, but not swallow she should be o.k.

Answer 4

Give her a rubber chew toy. some rubber bones are flavoured, so the dog loves it.  

Answer 5

get rope bones, squeaky toys, those hard plastic bones that are flavored (if you can even get your dog to chew on them), pork humorous bones. Any of these shouldn't do anything to your dogs stomach.

Answer 6

Get her a kong toy you put there favorit treat in it and she will chew it all day.
