Ok, here are the results of my shopping trip for chewy toys for Fannie. I spent about $50 and I've stashed about half of them for later once (if) these have been used.
2 Chicken flavored Nylabones (1 in the car, 1 in the house) - untouched. She has no interest.
Antler - liked in the store. chewed once at home, ignored.
Nylabone toy (one for heavy chewers) - ignored.
Oh yeah - 1 Shoe - chewed (caught her before damage was done). Roll of paper towels in the car - chewed. Her go-to chewy in the house is a hoof that she's been chewing off and on for about 3 months. I guess I'll get one of these for the car.
I also bought some other "bones" made by Nylabone thinking they were heavy duty. Nope. One was eaten within a couple of hours. I had put 2 out in the car and couldn't find the 2nd one after a couple of hours. The next day I gave her the one I'd found and a few minutes later half of it was gone (which is when I realized she'd eaten the other in one sitting). I also bought a couple of hard beef straps. The one I put out lasted about 3 days which is not too bad considering 2 dogs were taking turns with it.
I think that if Fannie is bored enough that she'll eventually adopt the Nylabones and the antler. I won't buy any more of the softer Nylabones since they disappear too quickly (not worth the money).
When Holly got her first antler she showed interest in it in the car on the way home but once we were home she ignored it for about a week, then one day she decided to have a cheew and now she loves antlers. We got two new antlers at christmas for her and Lewis and they are both about half the size that they were when we got them.
We haven't had any problems with chipped teeth yet (although the vet did say to keep an eye on Holly's teeth to make sure they don't get blunted from all the chewing she does), the dogs seem to scrape their teeth across the ends of the antler rather than biting down on it so I don't see how that could result in chipped teeth.
Maybe the Nylabones you got were for puppies, some of the smaller ones are ment for puppies and are made of a softer plastic.
You could make ice cubes with treats in them for the dogs to chew. I make them and it keeps the dogs entertained for a couple of minutes at practically no cost (I just freeze some of their kibble into the ice so it really doesn't cost anything extra, or I use whatever I'm putting in their kongs).
You could also see if your dog will chew a carrot. Holly likes carrot, although it does make a bit of a mess because she doesn't eat it all so their are some carrot chips left behind
