RMB's for teething puppy

BMWRTMIKE · 10-31-2009, 12:02 PM

I have a 5 month old JRT who is still teething. He has his new incisors, and all of his canines are in, but he still has his upper puppy canines. He is in the process of cutting in his premolars now. He has lots of chew toys and likes to chew ice, but I am wondering if a RMB would be a good choice.
Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Mike

Sorry to seem dense, but what is an RMB?

I know at our vet if the deciduous canines are still there at neuter time, they usually remove them while they are doing the surgery.

A frozen or very cold RAW MEATY BONE (RMB) can really help. Puppies will put a lot more energy and effort into chewing a real bone.

All my puppies get RMBs, and esp. during the teething phase.

Try a frozen chicken wing, or a beef rib with a little meat left on it.

I would rather give my puppy a cloth, tied in a knot, wet, and frozen. Since it could be shredded, it requires supervision.

Smudge got half turkey necks while teething. Took him a good long tiem of chewing to get anywhere.. As an adult though he can plow through one in 5-10 minutes tops.

Thanks for the info..lol. I'm not a raw feeder so it just didn't click..lol.

Thanks for the replies, I have tried the frozen rope, but he won't go near it frozen. He loves it dry. I got him a few RMB's today, and of course he loves them. Thanks again.

I gave Bailey raw chicken wings while he was teething. I'd just take off the skin and let him have at it
