Love the reviews of all the different types :D

Poor neglected Molly :rolleyes: does not get much other than biscuits as treats as larger things get hidden and hoarded rather than eaten. I found the fossiled end of a carrot I thought she had eaten the other day when I moved a chair to clean under it :rolleyes:

Thank you :)

Ahh bless her, she may like the pigs in blankets or pigs snouts as they didn't last very long and weren't too big either..

Maybe I should move my chairs and sofas, maybe loads of tasty treat left overs under them oops ... ha ha ha

Snap in this house - ears, pizzles, stag bars, etc - have yet to try hooves! He does loves carrots and the occasional nibble of cheese. I've also recently bought the 'cerea' type chews - the ones shaped like toothbrushes and hedgehogs - made out of vegetable starch- does anyone else buy these? Wasn't sure how good they are? He tends to hide these.

This is exactly what Archie does. I keep finding Pigs ears under my pillow's on the bed and on my daughers bed or in her bean bag. He is currently chewing on one of those chewy bones that he has found under my bed....goodness knows how long it has been there, but I haven't seen it for ages!!:eek:

Poppy isn't really fussy she'll eat anything. currently work our way through a box of mixed treats which include mini sausages, beef burgers and pork crackling. all have a really good meat content 70-100%. These are our special treats :)
little treat during a normal day or in an evening will either be carrot, cheese or peanut buyer in her kong.

Rosie can't have much cos of her delicate tummy, so I've tried lots of natural stuff. Bones from the butcher are her favourite but she also loves the half lambs' heads from NI. They're a bit gruesome (eyes and all), but she really enjoys them. The only problem is that, for some reason, she can eat every part of it except the part of the back of the jaw with big molars in! I find them dotted around the house. It's difficult to explain when visitors find them!

Oh i think i'm a bit mean with Betty as she doesn't get half of the things you guys give your dogs!! She gets cocktail sausages when i am getting her to do sit, high five etc. Then when i go out she gets a Kong with some cream cheese or a Lilys Kitchen biscuit. I use the Natures Menu treats for when i'm out (a friend ate a bit of one and said it tasted quite good and defo meaty!!). She has a stag bar too when she's at home.

But i think her favourite treat is used tissues scavenged from my pockets!!!

I did wonder about those as they looked smaller and softer - but they also looked a bit greasy to find tucked down the back of the sofa where they would probably end up!! She is only tiny so even a normal biscuit lasts a while.

They aren't that greasy actually, just like a pigs ears really, saying that I have had really greasy pigs ears and some very very dry ones too, just depends where I order or buy them from ... I would put a pigs in blanket treat in my pocket, but no way would I put a pigs tail in my pocket they were quite fatty and very big, but the girls did love them ...

Honey is a very delicate eater and takes her time, I love watching her eat .. she liked them along with the snouts which are very dry and didn't take too long to eat :) just an idea for Molly .. see the video of Honey with the trotter so sweet xxx

I just got a batch of 1/2 pigs trotters from Mutley Chews last week...am very impressed with them. Major difference I found was that, unlike pigs ears, trotters have got a significant amount of bone in them. For some reason I wasn't expecting that...I was clearly having a dumb moment I guess! Anyway, Boston absolutely adores the trotters and will keep him distracted for a good 30-45mins of solid chewing.

He had one yesterday afternoon and when I got him out of bed, there was a small bit of bile and some undigested porky bits in the utility room...maybe some of it he couldn't digest easily? Any thoughts JoJo?

Other than that, he can't have beef, so treats are around anything fish, pork, chicken and duck. He loves anything from fish4dogs but they don't last long (about 2mins!). Its just another way to get some variety into his diet.

Hi Lozza, Boston got through the trotter quicker than my girls .. Honey's lasted ages .. I had to record her for ages to capture it on video, far too ladylike ha ha ha :)

Sounds like Boston couldnt digest some of the trotter, but he dealt with it by leaving it in your utliity room, sorry to hear that. Honey and Picnic did not experience this, but of course I did notice a paler/drier toilets due to them eating and chewing the bone in the trotters. They have had these twice and they have gone down well both times, and I would give them again.

I will have a look at fish4dog too .. thank you xxx

Thanks for that - will maybe order some and see what she thinks. It would be good to find something she will settle down and chew rather than hiding!!

She does have some fish for dogs treats - although only the tiny ones and the redfish rolls which are softer than the normal ones!!

Currently Betty thinks my feet are the latest stag bar type treat crossed with a toy as i have my feet on the sofa and she is lying by them, tail wagging furiously whilst both front paws are pulling my feet where she wants them as she tries to chew my socks!! It's very amusing!!! And tickling a lot!!!!

Pushca loves avocado, a lick of the yoghurt pot and goes mad when she sees the white take away bag full of prawn crackers delivered for our sunday night treat. :D
Mind you Pushca will eat anything if I let her except sprouts.

Lol, I'm not sure I could cope with half a lambs head, bit to gruesome for me. Esp the thought of finding molars dotted around the house.

I did give Milie lamb ribs from NI, but she was sick 20 mins later. Think it was too fatty for her to digest.

I think my Teddy is remedial:) Hasn't a clue what to do with any chews, bones, pigs ears, etc. buries them all anywhere he can, and they rarely to be seen again. On the other hand he can spend happy hours with plastic clothes pegs, tissues, gloves , and the odd tennis ball.....
