There are so many different rawhide type bones in pet stores, what’s safe and what’s not?

I got my Sheltie this bone that almost looks like a hollow cow spine or something and she loves it! However, she is eating it preety fast and my Mom said it could be bad for her. There are also are hooves, pig snouts (yuck!), rawhide bones filled with different flavors and so forth. I read that plain old rawhide are the only safe bones but my dogs don’t like them! And what about bones from the butcher? Also, are the “new” greenies safe? I gave one to my dog for her weight category (which was really small) and she ate it within 5 minutes! She didn’t “gulp” it though which I guess was part of the problem. Are they really digestable or only partially? HELP!

As a general rule, rawhide is not good for dogs – the pieces get slimy and as they’re broken off, they present a choking hazard for your dog. In addition, keeping your dog in a constant supply of rawhide can lead to not only obesity (as too much of ANY treat will), but can also be a cause of intestinal blockages.

However, I know that dogs love them, and of course we want to treat our pups!!

If you’re going to give your dog a chewy, make sure, first and foremost, that you’re supervising the chewing – just in case!!

If your dog like bones, I’d recommend the natural bones. You can find them at any pet store, and a lot of them are filled with yummy treats like peanut butter, or beef. When we bought one for our dog, the trainer there told me when he’d eaten out all the good stuff to wash it out very will with soap and hot water, and then I could refill it myself, making a paste of his kibble crushed up and just enough peanut butter to hold it together. She then said to stuff it, and put the bone in the freezer and it’s like a popsicle treat for him. (He LOVES it!)

My pup has VERY VERY strong jaws, and aside from the noise he makes chewing on the bone, we’ve had absolutely ZERO problems with splintering, etc. but again, he only gets bones when we can watch him.

The answerer that suggested the Kong was right on. It’s a fantastic toy you can stuff with treats (or fill with water & freeze), or just throw for him – it’s durable, and bounces erratically – tons of fun for your pup!

Finding Suitable Cages for Ferrets

Another domesticated animal these days, although relatively rare, are the ferrets. Ferrets are domestic mammals that typically have brown, black, white or mixed fur and have an average length of approximately 20 inches.

Ferrets are energetic, curios animals that are interested in their surroundings when awake. They spend up to 18 hours a day sleeping and sleep more than most domesticated animals. Ferrets are interested in holes, pipes and other small enclosed areas, and seem compelled to explore holes. They are carnivores and their natural diet consists of whole prey such as mice and rabbits. There are commercial ferret food products as alternate food.

Ferret inquisitiveness often exceeds common sense and ferrets are good at getting into holes in walls, doors, cupboards, or in or behind household appliances such as clothes dryers and dishwashers, where they can be injured or killed by drowning, electrical wiring, fans, and other household items. Although they need to get exercise and satisfy their abundant curiosity daily, they also need to be contained especially when they are alone.

There are different sizes of cages and amenities for ferrets. Ideally it should be made of metals bars. Ferrets like to chew on everything and can get poisoned by plastic coatings on metal wire cages. The cage should have small space in between so that they cannot squeeze out. Make sure that the cage has enough space and the pet can move around freely, the larger the better. It should also have a room for food that is far from a litter box. There are cages that consist of complex features such as, ramps, tubes, and soft hammocks. This helps to keep them mentally active. Do not try to put them in a glass aquarium. Aquariums do not provide sufficient ventilation. Ferrets need breathable space.

Select a cage that has easy-cleaning feature, lock closures that snap or click. Look for reliable pet store to help you choose the appropriate cage for ferrets. There are also plenty of online stores that offer different types of ferret cages. Make sure the cage will keep your ferret comfortable and safe.
