Daisy is in full chew mode. She's hasn't destroyed any toys but she definitely enjoys chewing. I purchased a little variety pack from bestbullysticks.com that included, dried sweet potato slices, duck feet, lamb ears, bully sticks and beef jerky. We also have kongs that we're filling with varieties of baby food and peanut butter and a kong toy that we put dry dog kibble in (i use whatever she doesn't finish for breakfast) and when she turns it the right way, the kibble falls out.
My question is, how many "edible" chewies should she be allowed to have in a day (I'm mainly talking when we're home all day on the weekends)? The sweet potatoes are the only thing she can finish in a sitting, everything else seems to last a few rounds of chewing. She also has access (when she is outside of her crate while we're home) to an elk antler, a deer antler, a water buffalo horn, a cow hoof, a nylabone, and puppy keys.
