Another issue I'd love some feedback on...our new dog, while he obviously loves getting rawhide bones, hardly chews them at all before hiding them. I thought maybe he was used to competing for them in his other life so gave him several...but they're all hidden now! He's big so I started with big bones but then tried small ones as well. I understand chewing's good for teeth cleaning, plus would like him to know they're "his"!!! Any suggestions? IP: Logged |

My dogs usually hide their bones too but they later dig them up and chew them...sometimes this is several days later. IP: Logged |

my dog immediatley buries her bones and most of the time she never finds them again, it is so bizarre. Just a few weeks ago she was digging in one of my planters and I finally remembered that was her Christmas present! as soon as I gave it to her she ran outside and buried it and it had been there since. So I helped her get it out of the planter where she proceeded to take it and bury it in another spot. So weird Honeybear IP: Logged |

I think it goes back to the way dogsand or wolves would eat some of their kill and bury the rest for another time. Yours just has plenty and probably never needs to go back and find it. My two never do this. Though my sisters dog does. She has to watch her carefully or she will find them in the couch. IP: Logged |
