Chewing... Dogs love to do it. The trick is to teach your dog what he can chew and what he can not chew. Provide your dog with plenty of things he is aloud to chew.

Some of the larger breeds have very strong jaws and should not have plastic squeaky toys because they will eat them. The Bulldog on the left once ate a 3 inch round plastic piece from, what was thought to be, a very hard plastic toy ball. Three days later he did throw it up. He also will eat a very large raw hide in less then a day, chewing off the end knots and trying to swallow them whole. This is a choking hazard and needless to say, he is not allowed to have raw hides or plastic toys. Since he does love to chew he needs bones like the ones shown above. They are real cow legs.

 
 

In some cases raw hides are not good  with large dogs. Some large dogs  will quickly eat raw hides possibly choking on the end pieces. Raw hides are also not good for a dogs digestive system if they eat them too quickly. Raw hides are meant for chewing on. They are not a food and are not meant for eating quickly. It is okay if your dog eats a raw hide over a period of a few days or longer, but if you see your dog finishing the raw hide in a day, then you should find other things for your dog to chew on. Like the real cow legs seen in the photo at the top of this page.

Separation Anxiety

Understanding Dog Behavior

 

 

If your dog destroys things when you leave it just may be a case of separation anxiety. Dogs also chew if they are lacking in mental and or physical exercise.
