Reddit mentions of Smokehouse 100-Percent Natural Meaty Mammoth Bone Dog Treat

My first border collie used to baby her toys. She'd carry them around with her everywhere and even sleep with them. By the time she was a year old she still had toys that I had gotten her at birth. My second border collie is a bit more of a "let's see how fast I can shred it" type. Unfortunately my second BC chewed up many of my first BC's favorites (which she pouted about for days). MORE unfortunately is that now my first BC has learned that shredding toys is indeed a fun thing to do.


I've found that no toy is "indestructible" for a border collie. The [rope toys] (http://www.amazon.com/Flossy-Cottonblend-3-Knot-Medium-20-Inch/dp/B001GIEZLA/ref=sr_1_1?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1404189615&sr=1-1&keywords=rope+toy), kongs, and real bones (not the rawhide ones) tend to last longer though. We now have sets of toys they are allowed to gnaw away at whenever they want, and toys they are only allowed to play with while under supervision.

We periodically buy beef femurs (long leg bone) for our dogs. They last for weeks. Our vet told us to only give our dogs weight-bearing cow bones because they're stronger and don't splinter. So, femurs, knee caps, and cow knuckles are all we allow; along with pig ears once in a while. I'd buy them locally, but this is what they look like:


Beef femur


Cow knee caps


Cow knuckles


A Kong filled with frozen peanut butter and dog food is fun, too. Here is a list of safe foods to put into a Kong


Whatever you decide, know that you have to inspect toys and bones frequently, you need to remove dangerous or worn objects, and so on.

here's some pictures she's a very pretty dog

My guy LOVES this bone. He's had it for about 4 month and hasn't even gotten half way through. Plus, it doesn't smell as bad. He's also really into hooves, which smell terrible...

This is probably the real reason. The info link seems like pure conjecture. Note the end:

> Do your own experiment, throw your dog a bone or two, (preferably beef, don’t feed your dog chicken bones) and see if it gives you a taste of bit of childhood nostalgia for white dog poop.

People still feed bones to their dogs. Some people feed their dogs bones all the time. My dogs each get something like this every week, sometimes more (i.e. they always have a bone to chew on). I've never once seen white dog poop in the yard unless it was sun-bleached from being there for a long time.
