Description

I read a lot of info on the net about how to care for pit bulls, including the behaviors associated with teething. I tried boxed dog biscuits, he wasn't interested. I did not want to use a frozen washcloth because he likes pulling on my clothes so I figured the washcloth when it thawed would make that behavior worse. I save our scraps for the maintenance mans dog and had a ham bone frozen in there so I thought, why not kill two birds with one stone! Treat him to his first bone AND give him the frozen treat to soothe his teething...well you see the results...he was crazy for the bone and he tried to run away with it in the bottom image, thus the blur. When he was done chewing (more than an hour!) the bone went back in the freezer for more teething comfort! Last pic of him for awhile, I just thought this was too cute not to share:-) Thanks for looking and for previous comments and favs!

it is almost as big as him. a vet told me that bones are bad for dog's teeth so I do not give any to mine. I do not eat any beef or ham hocks anyway

Awww, Lynn this is the cutest thing ever. What a splendid idea you had to solve everything and provide us with these wonderful photos of him. Little Tanner is so adorable and he is so blessed to have someone as caring as you.

Very cute pic!!!! Ham bone may not be good though. Beef is better. Surf for info on list of what is not good for dogs. I used to feed mine grapes and found out that was bad.

Lynn, Tanner will be fine with a good beef marrowbone. As yardobe said Barf will be on the net. Grapes, raisens etc, & chocolate are a no no. Mind you, you seem to be doing the right thing reading about the breed. The bone is nearly as big as Tanner and you can see he sure enjoyed it.
