Is garlic powder safe? Cinnamon? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Was buying those n-bone puppy rings and the chicken flavor has garlic powder, pumpkin flavor has cinnamon

They (both ingredients) are safe in small amounts, which is most likely the case in dog food/ treats. Garlic is a controversial ingred. but in small amounts is noted to be beneficial.

garlic can make me a little nervous but Callie likes the nbones and rarely gets much off when she chews it so she is getting so little of it I'm not to worried.

Lilah can devour the Puppy Rings super fast. I ended up buying the pumpkin flavor with the cinnamon

Yoshi destroys these, I bought a pack of three and gave him one as soon as I got home from the pet store.

He took off and sat on the couch chewing on it and was just so well behaved for 2 hours just chewing on it. When I was done watching the movie I went to look for it and it was no where to be found. I thought he hid it.

So I waited another day or so to see if the other one turned up well.... it never did. So I gave him another and watched carefully and in the first 30 minutes it was half way gone.

Eek sounds like those chews are not safe & too soft...maybe finding something a little harder? I think N-Bone makes harder chews, we haven't tried them but Lovetodream88 has, hopefully she'll see this & post her recommendation.

We are definitely hunting something harder, that we can give him and not worry about him eating and possibly choking on in an hours time.

Mind you his biting/ chewing on hands and other objects has almost stopped completely by letting him chew on this thing for 5-10 minutes a day. It is a chore to take it back from him though.

Any suggestions on a better "Tasty" chew toy? He has all of the plastic flavored bones and things but he does not use them like these N-bone teething rings.

I give Callie the regular N-bone and I go with the bigger size then recommended (always do with chews so its not to small) and she has not completely eaten it in weeks and she would eat a 12" bully stick in an hour. She stopped getting bully sticks because of her tooth breaking on one. We also get the get naked chews by the same company they don't last super long but they do clean her teeth and are a lot softer then the Nbone.

I buy the pumpkin rings and the mint and vanilla dental sticks, and Gizmo loves them. He will tend to hide half of either one in his snuggle sack for a few hours and then go get it and finish it. I think he found saving half for later is much better, so he can eat them longer lol. I've used many of their products and have yet to find one that he doesn't like, and the ingredients are all really good. I don't buy anything chicken, as Gizmo has a chicken allergy. I'm getting ready to try a few more of their products just to see what else he likes because he loves them so much, and has never ever had a problem with them at all to make me worry while he is eating them. They are by far Gizmos favorite brand of any chewing product I have tried, and they all smell really good :-)
