I'd try cow hoofs. They're stinky, but pretty soft. Sometimes you can get a bad bunch and they fragment easy, so just watch. Most of the time Pooka is just grinding on it though. She's not a very tough chewer.

OOPS. We never had problems with Nylabones (maybe bec. none of our corgis liked them!) but I see that many people have. Lucy had problems with every chew toy, except cow hooves (yes cow hooves). Just be sure to discard them before they get small. We all know how much puppies need to chew on safe toys. Fingers and furniture are not toys. However, as Sam Tsang noted, all chewables can be dangerous & need supervision. Perhaps other corgi owners can comment on any problems associated with cow…

My corgi broke a tooth but we believe that it was the result of chewing on a stone in the backyard. She has never had a nylabone. I have never heard of problems with nylabones, but I have heard of problems with the greenies (dental) chew toys.

We have some of those too. Finn chews on them pretty hard but I don't think it's getting to his back teeth. With those bones I'm concerned about his front teeth. The only other thing that really bothers me about those is that I have seen him break off nickle-size pieces that have sharp corners and that could be dangerous. You're right though, there is no perfect solution. The one thing I try to do is buy things that are too big because it seems to slow him down a bit and prevent them from…

You're right though, there is no perfect solution. The one thing I try to do is buy things that are too big because it seems to slow him down a bit and prevent them from chomping with his molars. Even with the Nylabones I buy the giant size though I've tried many different ones in the past.

Caitlyn and her littermates do not like the regular Kong shape because they can't hold it in their paws and chew. They prefer the "Planet Kong Goodie Bone" in extreme black. I rarely find it in stores; usually order it online.

Yes, our Dee Dee chipped a few with hard Nylabone, and it is now banned from our house as well. She is a very good dog, and only chewed on things she was supposed to, but when we asked the regular vet, they said no, it might be just cavity... When we eventually took her to the Animal Dental Specialist, he said, yes, definitely could've been Nylabone. As Sam said, he also told us it can happen with just ice cubes as well. It all depends on dog's teeth. Ours seem to be weaker than others. Just…

It all depends on dog's teeth. Ours seem to be weaker than others. Just like humans, some have better teeth than others. Now, we only give her rawhide or rope supervised. We take them away when we can't watch her closely. I'm sure she misses the Nylabone, but we rather not go through that root canal ever again!

Alice, we use the sterilized non-stuffed beef marrow bones from the petstore. I don't think they can fit them all the way bank in their mouths to crank down on them, and since they leave little teeth-dents in the bone, I think the bone might be marginally softer than their teeth.<br />

I've still heard of dogs breaking teeth on them. I don't think there is a perfect solution, unfortunately, and everything has some risk. Someone we know just had a dog chip a tooth in the park; he picked up a stick…

Someone we know just had a dog chip a tooth in the park; he picked up a stick and was running with it, and the end of the stick banged into a solid object because the big galoot misjudged the distance.

I'll have to see if I can find them in a store and give them a try. Thanks for the tip. :)

Alice, Like I mentioned I found some Nylabone rings which Sparty does not seem to crank on so hard. They all like them but they can be hard to find. I also have cow bones that also can not be cranked on quite as hard. The bone shaped nylabones can be held with the paws and really shoved into those back teeth which is how Sparty broke his. Also on rare occasions I bring out the compressed rawhide bones. I do not leave them out all the time because they would fight over them and the dogs also…
