NBR: Dog treat question

blondbomber23

I posted on the pets board also, but the ladies here are always so helpful so I thought I'd try here.

does anyone know what types of dog treats/bones are safe and unsafe to give? We like to give our dog stuff to chew on to keep him busy during this weather since we can't be outside a lot for walks. He's a really laid back dog but gets bored when we're in the house all the time. We don't have the "gulping" problem with him, but I want to be using treats that can be digested and won't cause small bowel obstructions.

Suggestions? thanks!

We give our dogs nylabones and the super hard bones with the marrow in the middle... occupies them for hours.

We're exactly the same as Becca!  They freak out about the marrow.  It's terribly disgusting- but it makes them totally happy and occupied.

our dogs favorite is the marrow bones also, but we only give them on occasion and I'd like to find something I can give regularly (since the bones can get expensive).
