Product Information

On top of that, I’ve taken him to the vet several times and I’ve never gotten warnings about his teeth or any fractures, so we’ll be continuing to incorporate Nylabones as part of our routine. Any dog that’s been given a Nylabone should be supervised when using it. While the Nylabone has been constructed to make sure large chunks can’t be broken off, nothing is ever 100% safe and if your dog does snap off and swallow a large piece, they’ll need to be taken to the vet immediately. Nylabone safety tips If your dog swallows a large portion of Nylabone or other chew toys, go to your vet’s office immediately for an exam. He may have to get an x-ray, stay overnight, undergo expensive emergency surgery, or worse. Power Chew: Best for aggressive chewers, this line is made of sturdy nylon that can stand up to powerful jaws. These products aren’t intended for puppies or gentle chewers. Nylabones have been around for over 66 years and many dogs have enjoyed them without issue. On the other hand, some dogs have suffered injuries (or worse) after chomping on these nylon-based chew toys.

That aside, it comprises a textured surface designed to rub off the plaque while being chewed, thereby promoting your dog’s dental hygiene. Due to the toy’s toughness, and the dog’s need to frequently chew, it helps build stronger teeth and jaws.Michelle is the proud co-founder of Canine Journal and a dog lover through and through.

Nylabones are not natural. No matter how you slice it, natural chews (that are soft enough for routine chewing) beat out artificial ones any day. Nylabone’s non-edible chews may contain plastic, rubber, or nylon and they aren’t intended for ingestion. Their treats, on the other hand, are natural, delicious, and created to last longer for your chewing dog.

Ultimately, Nylabones are safer than some chews but more dangerous than others. Every chew has inherent risks, including Nylabones, but with proper precautions, most dogs gnaw them without issue.They are too hard for some dogs. Nylabone products are incredibly hard, with several not passing the “fingernail test” (meaning that you can’t dent them with your fingernail). This makes some owners and vets uncomfortable with their tooth safety profile due to their potential to fracture a dog’s teeth. If your furry buddy is an aggressive chewer, she is bound to love this toy as it can last much longer than any other chew toy you can think of. Also, the size of this toy is adequate for big dogs and just enough for them to hold it down with their paws on one end while chewing on the other end. Nylabone edibles, on the other hand, are safe enough to be chewed and consumed by your dog because they are just treats made in the form of a dog toy. What Are Nylabones Made Of? Proper storage: Being made of plastic, the Nylabone will be affected by the heat if it’s left out in the sun. When plastic melts, it releases toxic chemicals, so always store this toy away when not in use, preferably out of reach of your dog. A final word on Nylabones Monitor your pup while he’s chewing. Always watch your dog when he has a toy or chew. We know it’s hard, especially if he likes to run off to his bed with his toys, but accidents happen, and you want to be there just in case he chokes. Trust us; you’d rather be there for a thousand nothings than not be there for one choking incident.

Chew safety basics will help keep your canine happy and healthy. Prevent injury and heartbreak by selecting the right chew for your dog and monitoring him when he has a chew or other toy. Bits and pieces will eventually break off the toy and are likely to be ingested. However, Nyalabone claims that the material used is neither digestible nor harmful and will be excreted whole with no harm done. It’s no coincidence that Nylabones have been around for decades. Pup parents and doggos alike can’t get enough of them for several reasons, including: Nylabone inedible chew toys : These ones are usually made from either nylon, plastic, or rubber. All are dangerous if ingested, meaning inedible chew toys are only meant for chewing and not consumption.Good and nasty things have been said about dog chew toys and you are probably wondering, ‘Do I even need them? Replace the chew as needed. Don’t let your dog keep a Nylabone he’s gnawed into a sharp point or small nub. Mouth injuries and intestinal obstructions aren’t fun (or cheap to treat!) Nylabones come in different sizes, so make sure you are purchasing the correct size for your pup. You don’t want to get a Nylabone made for a puppy and give it to your 90-pound Labrador Retriever. She’ll have that thing torn up so fast that you’ll be on your way to the vet immediately! When Should I Replace My Dog’s Nylabone? Obviously, your dog isn’t supposed to eat the inedible Nylabone chew toys because the outcome could be fatal.
