You are definitely not alone. My 1yr Pyr, Beowulf,
is also an aggressive chewer. Logs from the wood pile, nyabones, stuffed
toys, clothing, anything from the bathroom trashcan...you name it. The
best thing I've found are nylabones (they at least last a little while) and
something called a Kong, the biggest one they sell. It's a cylindrical
cone of thick rubber with an opening that you can put treats in if you
like. He chews the heck out of it and so far it has lasted about 3
months without any serious damage. Good luck!

Oh boy! My 9mo Pyr, Bramble, is in full blown chewing mode. She
has several nylabones to chew, lots of sticks she removes from the wood pile,
and raw bones on the weekends. She used to have stuffed animals to love and
chew on but she now destroys them in under 10 minutes. She has started taking
paper out of the paper box to destroy and watch out for socks or other
articles of clothing on the floor! I have a sick goat we're treating and this
morning she destroyed my drenching syringe. Now we're desperately seeking a
new one (60cc syringes aren't always easy to find).
Obviously I am not
meeting her chewing needs. Any suggestions before she starts eating the house,
cars, or any other non-moving objects?
