One of the things I use when leaving my dog is raw bones. You can go to a store and buy pet bones, I like the knee joint (I think the femur is too hard). It's about 6 inches around and 3/4 of an inch thick. It's like crack for dogs, and it's good for them. A lot of people think the raw bone is bad dogs but it's not. Dogs when wild gnaw on bones to pass the time, getting valuable nutrients and their teeth cleaned. Dont use cooked bones as they are too hard, raw bones are soft. The only thing is they want to bring them in the house to gnaw on them in the evening, we'll let her do that if they are chewed down quite a bit. You dont want to let them in with a new bone. It gets kind of funny watching her trying to sneek in a bone, she has tryed to get one in 6 times in about 30 minutes before i broke down and let her in with it.
The bone keeps her busy pretty much all day. When the bone gets down to the size of an old silver dollar I throw them away.
I cant use them anymore because of the ants here in North Carolina, I forgot how bad they are, they covered her bone in 5 minutes. But if you dont have ants you wont beleave how they keep a dog occupied.
