My 12 week large breed mastiff/St.Bernard is chewing up everything. Want to give her something to chew on similiar to rawhide that won't be bad for her. How are pig ears?What else can I give Her?

nylabones are good, you can put peanut butter on it, freeze it, then give it to her to chew on. What about a "Kong", you can get it at the pet store, and you can stick treats inside it. Pigs ears are not real great either, I know dogs that have broken teeth on them. They do sell large hard/crunchy bones at pet stores for large dogs...they sometimes don't last too long, but will keep her busy for a while.

A puppy/dog shouldn't be given rawhide. They aren't digestable, they can cause blockages and choking.Also some of them can be toxic because of the chemicals used in processing the hides. Pig ears can also pose a problem since they can easily splinter and cause preforation of the throat, stomach or intestines. It is best to give a puppy/dog safer chew objects such as raw beef marrow bones, Nylabones or Kongs.

get her some bigger bones the white kind you find at pet stores or walmart. pigs ears and hooves are good also you can get theses at pet stores.
DO NOT give a puppy or dog plush / stuffed toys after awhile they tare them up and might eat the stuffing that stuff can kill a dog / puppy it gets caught in the intestines and your pet might not pass them.
If you get her a ball make sure it doesn't fit in the mouth - needs to be bigger than she can close her mouth over as that can't get stuck in her throat and choke her.
Hope this helps Call a vet and ask them or ask at a good pet store.

They love pig ears, but it will be GONE in no time! Get her some hooves (I think they're goat, but not positive). They last a long time!
They should have them at pet stores, but I get them at Home Depot.

frozen washcloth/towel works well for teething. Just wet it and freeze it...carrots...nylabone...ice cubes...pigs ears aren't too good either because like rawhide they get wet and sticky and gooey...They can also cause problems, but try these other choices...

Plush toys, rubber squeek toys, platic bones, and flavored edible bones (not rawhide). You can also give them a Greeny once a day, but you have to watch your dog eat it because it does-- something. I don't know what. I let my dog chew on plastic bones.

No, they can break off a piece that is too big for them and try to eat it and choke. Go get a toy that you can put food in to keep them occupied. That is better for them and it will be cheaper for you.

talk to anybody at the pet store they will let you know what is safe for the puppy to chew on.

Try letting her chew on plush toys....they love them. She will eventually tear it up. But it will keep her entertained.They love greenies also.
