Teething toys?

What's a good teething toy or toys that I should get? I have bully sticks and got Freya a stuffed animal. Are kongs good? What about nyla bones? I got her rubber rings the night I took her home but she doesn't seem to like them at all and I believe my Weim got to them as I can't find them anywhere.

Kongs are great with frozen peanut butter :)

Kongs are great. If Freya doesn't show interest, take a boullion cube and dip the Kong and let it dry on a paper towel. It makes it taste like chicken or beef. As for what to put inside? All-Natural peanut butter (the regular stuff has lots of processed sugar and hydrogenated oils to be avoided if possible), pieces of baby carrot or apple, diced pieces of turkey, frozen green beans. There are lots of things you can put inside. If you want to do frozen, put your Kong in a baggie prior to putting it in the freezer. (And get a bottle brush to clean it.)

I am going to need to dip it in a bullion cube. She showed no interest in the Kong. I even stuffed it with Peanut butter (all natural, I can't feed the regular stuff to her even if I wanted to cause it may contain corn and our other dog is allergic.)

So, I am assuming i'm supposed to make a broth. Is this right? Oh I got a kong brush on sale at Target too! It is awesome:D.

my pups like chewing on whole carrots. they are safe to eat and not too easy for a young puppy to destroy :)

Hmm, i may try this. I know she loved green beans. Maybe I'll get lucky and the carrots will help her teething.

I put stuff in the freezer, carrots and green beans. He doesn't like kongs.

We bought a couple of different dog toys that were designed to get wet and go into the freezer. Colby loved them until he tore the stuffing out of them about 2 weeks later. :-)

We also found a set of hard plastic keys at Kroger designed for puppy teething and they lasted for about 5-6 weeks... they were his favorite!

I got my little one (I don't remember the brand, I think it was Okra?) a little blue rubber teething bone and he loved it! It has different groves and textures to it like dots, ridges and lines.

I also wanted to mention... PlanetDog makes a few products that our puppy loves. One is the 'orbie' that looks like a Kong, but has different textures on it. Another one is a large rubber block that looks like a baby block (with the letters). I think my wife picked them up at Target. Good luck!

I'll have to go look into those toys you guys suggested! I'll have to wait til I get paid. Right now, she likes to gnaw on raw hides and her bully stick. Sometimes, she'll take over the Weim's bones and gnaw on them too.
