god i just remembered about my friends aunts dog when i was a kid who had to be pts as he swallowed so much of the string it was all balled up in his tummy and tangled and there was no way he would have survived through an op due to his age.....something along those lines jake has loads of tuggy toys in his toy box (yup he has a massive toy box and i think he`s destroyed all of 5 toys since i brought him home in september, i`m convinced he`s not a lab as he just doesn`t chew anything he`s not supposed to.....YET ) it`s quite a worry thinking about it but i guess so long as the toys are checked regularly then it`s as much a risk as anything else is. his royal highness won`t play with his anyway unless i`m playing and if i start to win he`ll nip my hand so i let go
dunno if anyone`s mentioned it yet but i totally forgot how good tea towels are for teething pups. i used to soak them, rinse them then place a few treats in and twist/tie them up and freeze them.
Frozen carrots and frozen Bananas, are good to for puppies.
Be careful with raw bones, avoid the marrow bones for puppies but lamb ribs are good, but as with anything always give them under supervision.

she can happily chase an empty coke bottle around for ages. She also chews the chairs, tables, sofas, fire guard, shelves, fridges, door matt, tea towels and me!
LOL
That's Lab pups for you! Doncha just love 'em though
Seriously paint clove oil on her favourite bits of chewable furniture and watch her face
Squeezy cheese from a tube squirts nicely into the Kong hole and they'll spend ages licking it out - also works when the roast hollow bone has lost its appeal No upset tums from that with several pups
I was afraid of the runny poo thing but it would be nice for her to try some nice things. Not sure about actual bones at the moment. We had a couple of Jack Russells that loved them though and would keep them entertained for hours.
