My 2 yr old will chew a quado.  It has been the only thing he can manage.  We even try to hold a bone/toy for him and he just won't chew.  LOVEs quado.  I keep buying but they are expensive. I wrote nylabone to ask them to make something comparable to quado.  Has anyone found anything to chew that "stands up" similar to quado?

Silly me, I had to look up what in the heck a quado is.  You're right, they ARE expensive!

I don't know of anything similar but have you tried a real bone?  The flavor should entice your pup.  We've been getting cow knee caps, they're sort of shaped like a little quado if you squint.  The dogs can't get enough of them and they're cheap.  I mostly let them have them outside because they're messy but they saved my sanity one rainy day at the cabin.  I just put a big beach towel down and let 'em have at it.  It's my "Tate 911" solution.

Is your dog a front amp, is that the problem?

Trouble got terribly frustrated trying to chew something and only able to hold it with one front paw. Quado is a great idea for a front amp.

Thank you Jan. I will find some good knee caps! Took in a boxer from rescue with front right leg gone.  He is doing great. Thanks so much for the suggestion.
