i second that notion! almost all other 'bones' (ie raw hides, nylabones etc) have pretty big issues with them. my vet is quite strongly against raw hides, has had to go in after them a few times. apparently they swell in the stomach and intestines.
you can also keep kongs handy. they are (virtually) indestructible! stuff them with dog food, frozen veggies and peanutbutter and youre set to go!! we also give Mister cow leg bones. look into deer antlers?? bully sticks?? those are also very good.
