Help, may have bought wrong size. I have a 3 month old Lab mix pup and got a L. She can't get the treats out. What should I try?

I have 3 mini doxies, and one of them is too small to get it in her mouth. I cut the small end off all of them and let my little one have it. The other two keep the bigger ones. I put a little cashew butter in them, and it keeps the dogs busy for awhile.

I would think she'd definitely grow into it. I have a 11 pound, 5 month old small puppy who I got a small kong for; it took her awhile to stay interested in trying to get the treat out. Now she's figured out how to keep working at it until the treat breaks apart and she can get to it. It sure helps to keep her occupied for awhile and with the chewing phase.

I had the same problem with our two Pomperanians. After trying several types of treats, I complained that they just did not work. The Company was very prompt to refund my money. They could not take them back for obvious reasons and told me to destroy them. I put them in the trash.

Considering you have a large breed, it is best to get the L size. Your dog is only 10months and she would grow even more in size.

Yes, I had the same problem with the little dog. Eventually just put a piece of Velcro to keep in place.

Probably the same. Try all size larger than what you have. I have a bull terrier and mixed breed and replace the nylabones periodically. They are not indestructible

First thing is to measure circumference of you dogs chest. That is key to proper sizing. If you dog is older and full grown you can be sure of fit. I have two Papillion's. one is 3 years with circumference of 19" and small works well for her.our other pup is still under 2 and is already 17" around chest so she also has a small. These dogs only rub 12 pds but tend to be broad chested.

If it were my puppy, I wouldn't put anything in that the dog might choke on. Why not ask the breeder what s/he recommends.

I can't imagine what to do! My pug has loved it from the beginning. We had to replace it several times because it's torn up. She takes all her toys in there and hides things she's not supposed to have in there. Maybe just give him time and he'll get used to it...?

Bought this for my 11 lb. JRT. I must have bought the smallest one, but don't really recall because it was almost a year ago. The tension was way too tight for her, she couldn't pull it out at all. It was actually comical - she just stood there and looked at me like "what the heck"! I had to return it. Probably be ok for a 35 lb dog though. Good luck!

Hi! Sorry? Just saw this from yesterday right now. I got it large for my 34 pound mixed breed, and I wouldn't get it any smaller. So, definitely go with the large? Also, I actually looked at a YouTube because I couldn't figure out how to put it on.mi'm not stupid, just too impatient to read directions so I exhaust myself! Lol. It's a great thing. She walks so much better! Good luck!

I get my pups a small. They are toy poodle 7# and shih tzu 8# the other shih tzu was 16# and we got her a medium. We just went to a doggie speciality store and we now purchased 3 bark appeal harness and love them. Also if possible could you go to a dog store and try a harness on to see the size. I wish you luck.

For a Lab I would recommend the wider one. I bought this for my 13 year old 25 pound mix breed, but she is too afraid to use it. It is a great idea, but start using it early!

If the pug is only ever going to eat 3/4 cup, get a small. I have a medium and it holds almost 2 cups for my black lab pup

The best thing to do is just try them. You may have to try different doses-some dogs need more some less and it's not always based on size. Our dog is just over ten lbs and takes the med-large size chews.

I think these treats would be difficult for her to chew.They are hard and she needs something soft.If you're looking for something soft try Wellness Wellbites.They come in different flavors and my dog likes them very much.Good luck!

Hasn't been a problem, but if it was I would try a treat or a toy tossed into the space. How old is the Dog? Ours is a 5 month old puppy. Hope this helps. We also purchased the pad for the bottom it is thick and comfortably fits under tha front edge she has never even tried to pull it out.

I'm not sure what could be done. I only have this one for a few weeks. So far so good, but it's way too small for my dog. I had 3 similar pads from a different company. They only lasted for about a year and a half. Shrunk and dried up inside. Nothing I could do with them, so went to the trash.

YES! They will fit in the small Kongs. I HIGHLY recommend them. I have a Medium sized Kong for my 25 lbs poodle mix dog and also a Small sized Kong for my 8 lb Min-Pin. I can easily fit two frozen treats on the Medium Kong and one frozen treat in the Small Kong. I also add other small treats and top it off with peanut butter. They both go crazy over the frozen treats in their Kongs. I only give them these special treats before I leave the house. Therefor, instead of them having separation anxiety, they now associate me leaving with an entertaining and Kong full of delicious frozen goodies and treats. It's the best investment ever! YES!
