| I was out shopping for SS today and came across Zukes Bones. I had rememberd hearing about them somewhere on the forum but had never seen them before. Anyway, I picked one up for Aevyn in Cherry Berry - the thing smelt absolutely horrible. He, of course, loved it. Anyway, are these more the type of 'every now and then' treats? Also, this pet store only had two sizes - Mini and... well. Small. lol Are there other sizes? What would be best for huskys? Thanks~!  |

| Zukes Z-Bones come in mini, small, medium and large,. I give Ginger and Storm large carrot crunch and apple. I rarely give the Cherry Berry flavor one because it sometimes turn their poop a reddish tint that freaks me out.
You can get them by the box at Natural K9 Supplies online - 6 for $11.49 (or something like that). Use BARK10 for an additional 10% off.
I give my 2 a bone every day which helps clean their teeth....and they get excited over them!

| Oh, thanks!  Buying them in bulk I'll look into - Aevyn really enjoyed it. However, since it was small it really didn't last that long. lol He got so excited for it though - the type of excited where he forgets what 'sit' and 'paw' means and instead tries to do all his tricks at once and falls face first into the floor instead. |

That's funny you mentioned their poop turning a reddish color. One time my mom was watching my girls a day after they had a cherry bone and she called me at work freaking out because both the girls had bloody poop!
We give them about two or three times a week.
Has anyone tried the Apple Crisp flavor? It's one if the newer ones that came out after they changed the name from z-ridges to z-bones. Never seen the apple flavor in stores, but its in a catalog I get. Wonder if it turns their poop green... |

| Looked at your post again Claudia and you did mention the apple. They seem to like it? Still wondering about the poo though! |

| Kale LOVES Zukes. Only give them once in a while though. I stocked up on the original flavor since it is Kales favorite  Sad to see it go. |

| I give the berry flavored (red) Zukes dental bones. My dogs love them and I honestly don't find them to smell bad at all. Quite the contrary, I think they smell alright for dog chews. I give the Zukes bones once a week and it does result in red stool the following day...if I forget that I gave them their Zukes the previous day then I sometimes freak out until I realize it was the chew. lol _________________ ~~Val~~

| This was taken a few months ago, as Ginger was still learning a 'standing high five' but she was so excited, she couldn't concentrate! And of course, Storm is, 'Just give me already!'

| Aw, Ginger!
I"m glad to see that other huskies sort of forget themselves when that excited. Although, Aevyn will literally fall face first into the floor. Its a wonder he doesn't have brain damage some days.
I'm really surprised they're so popular and yet I'd never seen them before. I wonder if maybe they're just not as popular in Canada? |

| Oh my gosh Claudia I love Storm!!! And this may sound so odd but their colors really work so well together... Gingers light red with Storms light gray! _________________ Cheyenne, Mishka, Mickey, Rodeo, & Odin  Are you a Husky owner in South Florida?! Join our facebook meetup group!
