i have a 92lb. Royal Standard Poodle. he will eat just about anything. he has some interest in Nylabones, but he can take it or leave it. it's rawhide that he likes best. he loves 'em but goes really crazy (obsessive and aggressive) with them. cause of his size he gets very large bones. i end up giving him the bone for like 20 minute to 1/2 an hour, due to his craziness with bones. i try not to give him any of the rolled up, braided, twisted rawhide because he will eat them, not chew them in less than 5 minutes. He usually swallow them whole.
i am not too worried about the bones getting stuck in his digestive track because Vinnie is a rare dog. since he was a puppy he has eaten socks, underwear, tissues, paper-towels, coffee beans (5lb. worth) wash cloths, an ace bandage, and condoms all of said items has been eaten whole, and passed. i have been quite luck, actually he is quite lucky. my point is if i had any other dog than Vinny i would refuse to give him any Nylabones, Greenes, or small rawhide. i would go for a riduculas sized rawhides so i know that the dog could not swallow them whole.
the big knuckle, and hip(I think its the hip bone) and femurs bones from cows are great. they don't have much meat on them but keeps their chewing habit satisfied. plus they last a long time. one warring...when you first get them they are smelly and messy, but after that they are great.
