bidabone (?) for my German Shepherd puppy
my wife and I recently bought a German Shepherd puppy. She is female
and very sweet but she is teething and has been chewing on everything that doesn't move (and some things that do!). Our dog trainer told us to buy her a Bidobone (not sure if I spelled it right). Has anyone here heard of such a thing and know where I can get one? I looked on the Fosters & Smith website but don't see anything that resembles the name there. Thanks in advance |

I think your trainer probably meant "Booda" bone- full name "Booda Velvets"; they're chew bones made with corn starch, polymers, and glycerin. I will caution, though, that the only time I tried one- several years ago- it gave my dog diarrhea. |

"Booda Bones" are those cotton yarn toys, that are twisted into ropes, to make pull toys and "floss" the dogs' teeth. Not something that you can leave out all the time (because of the risk of the dog shredding it and choking on the threads, or swalloing the threads and having it get stuck and make a section of the intestine die if it gets snagged and cuts off the blood supply. The new actual chew toys have names other than "bones" because they wasted the name on a rope toy ;-) natalie -- The turtle lives twixt plated decks Which practically conceal its sex.

Yup, Booda makes a variety of dog and cat products- the cornstarch chewy bones & chips, rope tug toys, nubbly squeekies, bouncy squeekies, goofy plush banana toys (a favorite in this household G) litter boxes & litterbox accessories... a long list. However, given that this is a teething puppy, I suspect the trainer meant the hard bone-shaped edible chewies - offical brand name "Booda Velvets" or "Booda Bimples"- rather than the rope toys. |

Hi, Andrew
I have three dogs, a German Shepherd slightly smaller than an SUV, a miniature poodle, and a GK (God knows) dog. My dog trainer recommended freezing marrow bones (uncooked) and my dogs love them. No mess, either. Sharon "Andrew S." wrote in message om... my wife and I recently bought a German Shepherd puppy.
