Whimzees
A few weeks ago, I mentioned the ‘toothbrushes’ we had bought for Roxy and Gilbert and how the chews came in different shapes and sizes.
The dogs aren't bothered, of course. So far as I know, dogs don't discern discrepancies in size. If one has a large carrot, and the other a small, they just accept them. A beach ball is as much fun as a tennis ball, though not so easy to retrieve . . .

I decided
to treat my ‘granddogs’ to a selection of chews. I hope they enjoy them as much as our dogs do.
We had dog chews available at the local vet for a while, cat chews too which Angel loved, but they only came in one size and shape, large for dogs, smaller for cats. Now they only have the dog ones available.
ReplyDeleteI've been wondering about cat chews. I'm not sure our cats would take to them. However, they wouldn't go to waste as Roxy and Gilbert are only too happy to help.
DeleteMr T would certainly not have taken to cat chews (even catnip flavoured). He was the most difficult cat to motivate with treats - totally unimpressed he was. Wouldn't do anything for treats, and we tried dozens of different varieties.
DeleteNone of our cats has ever reacted in any way to catmint, but they do like treats - can't find any chews, though (must look harder)
DeleteLol. I love those chew shapes.
ReplyDeleteThe shape doesn't make an iota of difference to the dogs, but the different shapes amuse me.
DeleteNobby disagrees. Big sticks are better!
ReplyDeleteBigger sticks are better - less chance of sticking in the throat. Removing stuck sticks is an art form.
DeleteI'm sure they will - it all sounds great fun. xx
ReplyDeleteSaves the furniture, too ;-)
DeleteThis is family fun, fun for the pups to have chewies and fun for you with the pots! Good idea all 'round.
ReplyDeleteYes, we're very self-indulgent;-)
ReplyDeleteThe whimzees are fun and reasonably healthy aren't they, a little pricey but I do think it's another case of get what you pay for.

They certainly seem to be keeping the dogs' teeth clean, so that's a bonus. You're so right - you get what you pay for. (Isn't that a funny expression?)
Delete😀👍
DeleteBaby Roxy is adorable..
ReplyDeleteShe was gorgeous - now all grown up but such a sweet-natured girl.
DeleteI'm glad to hear Gilbert and Roxy enjoy the chews, whatever their size. If I were a dog, I'd prefer a large stick though :-) xxx
ReplyDeleteSize can be an issue - some of the 'sticks' they pick up are more like tree trunks and provide an intelligence test when it comes to going through narrow gaps!
DeleteI enjoy buying chews and toys for dogs as much as they enjoy having them. Dogs are so wonderfully easy to please.
ReplyDeleteThey are - their prime purpose in life is to please us, I think. They're very nice people!
DeleteThat is such a sweet picture of Baby Roxy with a beach ball.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the chewies whatever there size will be enjoyed.
All the best Jan
They're Labradors, so not at all fussy about any sort of food!
DeleteIt is always funny to watch dogs try to walk through a doorway or gate with a large stick in their mouth and the stick is too wide. Some understand straight away but others will persist with trying to just push forward. The tooth brushes look formidable. Do you use nicely flavoured dog toothpaste?
ReplyDeleteWe have video clips of our dogs overcoming obstacles like narrow gaps.
ReplyDeleteThe toothbrushes are edible so toothpaste isn't needed:-)
