He will break them right out of the shells and then he spit&apos;s out the shells and eats the nuts. He is totally addicted and I can no longer eat them when he is around or he will be in my lap drooling. My Chihuahua&apos;s love American cheese so much that we call it the Magic Cheese. They will be the most obedient dogs you have ever seen if you have a cheese slice or even just a empty wrapper.&lt;br /&gt;Do any of your dogs have weird food likes?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are 1 replies, with the last one on 10/6/2009 at 12:45 PM by sophiesmom&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reply: My Malchi, Roody, is a cheese slice fool!  He and my daughter have had this cheese chase thing for years.  She will get a piece out of fridge, he sees it and the chase is on.  She will run through the house with it and he will be right on her heels.  Crazy bout the cheese.  And vienna sausages. He will be outside and if he hears the top pop on a can and he runs as fast as his little legs will carry him. They are so high in sodium that he can&apos;t have much but he doesn&apos;t care, he&apos;s happy with a bite.</description></item><item><title>Small dogs and proper chews</title><author>sycadoog@designermixes.org (sycadoog)</author><link>http://www.designermixes.org/Forum/Topic.aspx?TOPIC_ID=117</link><category>Treats</category><pubDate>Fri, 17 Jul 2009 21:56:36 GMT</pubDate><guid>http://www.designermixes.orgTopic.aspx?TOPIC_ID=117</guid><description>I have some very samll dogs under 1olbs. and it is hard to find chews for them. The only ones I have found are teenie Greenies. Any suggestions for other chewy treats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are 4 replies, with the last one on 7/17/2009 at 9:56 PM by sycadoog&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reply: We have recently tried the new treats from Beneful. They are easy to break into small piecse but I do have to be careful that they are to big to swallow whole or some of our dogs will bolt them down in one piece, even though I feed them all seperately.</description></item><item><title>Dogs swalling large chews</title><author>kmmabry@designermixes.org (kmmabry)</author><link>http://www.designermixes.org/Forum/Topic.aspx?TOPIC_ID=36</link><category>Treats</category><pubDate>Fri, 05 Dec 2008 16:32:10 GMT</pubDate><guid>http://www.designermixes.orgTopic.aspx?TOPIC_ID=36</guid><description>We love to give our dogs dental chews especially Hartz dental chews with the tarter reducing coating. They love them. The problem is Logan will try to eat the too fast. He chews them for a couple of minutes and then tries to swallow them. There has been a few times when I thought he was going to choke on one. I am scared to give them to him anymore even when I am supervising him. I have noticed his teeth getting worse since he has stopped getting them. I brush his teeth at least 2-3 times a week but the chews really helped. Is there anything I can do to make him slow down his chewing of them. I think he tries to eat them so fast because Lacey takes her time and when he is finished with his he tries to be a bully and take hers which we try to not let happen. Thanks!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are 1 replies, with the last one on 12/5/2008 at 4:32 PM by kmmabry&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reply: I am sorry I don&apos;t really have any advice for you. My bulloxer, Chloe does that too. She chews on them for about five minutes and then tries to swallow the rest of it. I have had to pull a couple out of her mouth to keep her from choking. I still give them to her but not as often and just watch her close!Good Luck!</description></item></channel></rss>
