Haha - Comet did this but also kept dropping it as if it were about to go off. Sent him loopy. Well, loopier.
We've substituted with those thin hard chew sticks made of skin (yum). They aren't as high value but they keep him occupied and they last ages.

interesting. he's been absolutely fine on them for the whole period he settled into a nice solid routine but maybe they build up over a few days and then trigger it perhaps.
he goes absolutely mental for them unfortunately. he knows exactly when he usually gets one in the morning and will hound you incessantly until he gets it. he then spends 10 minutes whining and urgently carrying it around the whole flat while he looks for somewhere to bury such a high value treasure, bringing it to me and my mum in turn so we can see what an amazing thing he's got. Eventually he gets bored of that and it's devoured in short order.
if I'm lucky they usually give me just enough time to jump in the shower and get my pants & socks on (a challenging task with a half-grown puppy with a wool fetish on the loose) before he's banging on the bathroom door demanding to know what's going on in there.
I'll try giving him a half a day instead when he's weaned off the bland diet and if it's improved but not totally gone I'll have to find an alternative, admittedly he's such a greedy shit there'll be other options out there for sure.
