Bones

[T.C.E]

At what age would folk recommend bones being giving to a puppy? Bailey's teeth are like razors and we think a bone to chew on would help take the edge off them.

They will soon fall out Ray usually around the 15 week ish mark, you will find them all over your house, LOL.

I bought Bo some teething rings from Pets @ home which seemed to help.

Rayden has Nyla Bones, and also smelly teething rings from the pet shop, they smell of vanilla, he loves a chomp on them haha

i'm not too sure what age your meant to give them but but i've given our luna marrow bones, big knuckles since she was about 9 weeks!! she really enjoys thems! plus keeps her off chewing others things she shouldn't be for a few hours at least !

Thanks for your answers, we didnt realise they lost their baby teeth as young as 15 weeks.
He has the Kong teething thingy which he ignores, but he adores ice cubes. So much so the landlord at our local when we call in with Bailey asks would we would like our usual drinks with a small "Baileys" which is a glass of ice cubes. He then entertains the pub with his training skills in exchange for a cube.
We may venture to the butchers and get a knuckle bone or alike and see how he gets on.

Ive been told RMB can be given from approx 8weeks onwards - poss before that age too.
I remember Luna's teeth falling out....I would find the little blighters everywhere

I gave Sami raw bones from about 8 weeks, they help with the ears too supposedly. Our butcher gave me a massive knuckle bone which ickle Sami would carry around like a trophy.

When we had Max we tried the same but they used to give him the "two bobs" so we had to stop.

I remember hubby playing with Sami and one of her baby teeth came out, he nearly s..t himself thinking he would be in big trouble for knocking her teeth out. I did eventually tell him they fall out anyway but it was fun watching him squirm!!

Would you suggest freezing the bones?
With reference to your Husband, your a bad, bad Lady
But thats exactly what Lynne would do to me

[sami]

Dont know about the freezing but you do have to wrench them away from the pup after a couple of days cus they go really stinky and ackkky!!

I'd freeze - you wouldn't want a pup that young to catch campilobacter or salmonella.
