They make soft animals that are hollow they may like. They are actually made to place an empty water bottle inside so it can make noise and they can chew, but you don't have to place the water bottle in it. You can also try the KONG toys. They come in different shapes and sizes and are made to place dog treats or dogs flavored sprays in to let him chew and lick those. Some dogs are not big on toys no matter what you try though.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Kyro. I typically start recommending small blood panels at 2-3 years of age to gain baseline values. The exception to this would be any necessary pre-anesthetic bloodwork if the dog were to be anesthetized. Hard toys such as the antlers and Nyla bones can fracture teeth in dogs. So be careful for any aggressive chewing. However, they are durable toys that the dog is less likely to break off a piece and swallow. This becomes an emergency surgery if the toy becomes lodged in the stomach or intestines. So they are safer options in that regard. Rotating toys will give your dog more variety and not force you to buy new ones frequently. I recommend leaving two toys out at a time and then rotate a new one in every couple of weeks. Even if your dog has seen it before, it will seem new to him again. I hope this information helps!

Thank you for submitting your question. Congratulations on your new dog! Indestructible toys are going to be best until you see how aggressive of a chewer he or she will be. Young puppies are not as destructive as older puppies and adult dogs. You may want to try a variety of products to see what this dog will like best. Kongs, puzzle toys and Nylabones are a good variety. You just want to make sure that pieces cannot be bit off of any toy. Nylabones can be hard on the teeth if the dog chews too aggressively. As far as treats, start with peices of the dog's regular kibble. There will be a lot of stress with moving to a new home. Additional diet changes can lead to diarrhea. I hope this information helps!

Thank you for your questions about Luke. I agree and would advise against stuffed toys as he will confuse them. Do keep the kids toys put away as he may think they are his anyway!!! Offer him a variety of toys. Nylabone makes a variety of chew toys for dogs. My only warning though is that the hard toys can break dog’s teeth if they are aggressive chewers. Some toys can break apart and you must always be vigilant to remove and replace these toys to prevent him from swallowing pieces as that could lead to intestinal obstruction. Experiment to find his favorite type of toys. Dogs like bully sticks but too much can make some of them sick to their stomachs. Same with something like a greenie. Always monitor him when he is chewing something because dogs can choke on these. I like to stuff a Kong with kibble, seal the opening with peanut butter (xylitol free) and then put it in the freezer for a few hours. I hope this answers your question and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Naughty Pepper! You will need to monitor Pepper for more vomiting, retching and diarrhea, just in case pepper has an intestinal blockage. Eating all those things could be caused by jealousy or often also by a tummy ache. This is called pica. For some strange reason Miniature Pinchers and Dobermans are notoriously known for eating blankets, socks, toys etc. Should Pepper start getting diarrhea and start retching and get lethargic, it is an emergency and he needs to be seen by a veterinarian for an exam.
