"Nylabones"
I have 2 of the durable ones that were Barneys they have lasted through 5
dogs and are still in good shape. The dogs I have now still chew them so . They rarely get pieces off them and they are the only 2 toys that they haven't destroyed. We also have a dental ball they play with and a nylabone frisbee that is holding up really well with the dogs. Celeste "Sue and Atty" wrote in message ... "A. Brain" wrote in message ... Does anyone here recommend them? I suppose it's like everything - it depends on the dog. Atty (my lab) has had her same nylabones for 7 years. She even chews on a few of Jadee's, which are now 10 years old. Some are a little smaller than they were, but not small enough to get rid of. She chews on them in spurts. Sue and Atty |

Sue and Atty My Petey loves to have me hold the nylabone while he chews the other end. This is my first nylabone. I purchased it based on the size. It is the Wolf size. My gripe with the company that makes them is I did not know which size to buy, until I opened up the package and the info sheet was inside the package. Why could they not put that info on the outer part of the package? This thread has been great and I have learned much about this product. Thanks to all who have shared their experiences. Shirley |

My dogs had the same nylabones for years, but a friend's dog destroyed them all within a day. The only one which has lasted around here is the giant red harder plastic one. Bugsy, the daycare Boston Terrier, likes it more than anyone else - he carries it everywhere he goes, even though it's half his body size. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

"Nylabones"
"A. Brain" wrote in message ... Does anyone here recommend them? My mom's new dog--a wonderful Tibetan Terrier who is just under a year old--had a bad experience with one. She chewed it up and it disintegrated, and it looks like she swallowed the stuff, then spent the night vomiting all over the place. The vet in a phone consultation said she will probably be all right, but I told my mom that I don't like anything that's not "natural". My neighbor's new Bulldog is also about the same age and she seems to chew these things up also, but so far no distress. -- A. Brain Remove NOSPAM for email. After reading all the posts about the Nylabone, I purchased a new one today. The one I first had is digestable. Someone mentioned one that was almost industricable. I bought one that says Durable and is not consumable. Said some small rice sized pieces may come off, but should pass normally. It says replace when knuckles are worn down. I feel this one is much safer than the first one I bought. It was very confusing with all the different sizes/flavors and different consistancies. Shirley |

It was very confusing with all the different sizes/flavors and different consistancies. With the dogs here I don't worry about flavours; they'll chew a Nylabone or they won't. Liver, vanilla, whatever won't entice a dog who really doesn't like chewing on plastic - and there are many (my own, for example, but enough of the daycare dogs like Nylabone that I keep them around). -- --Matt.

Brain My shepherd-mix and Lab-mix were pretty thorough with a Nylabone I got them years ago. The shepherd-mix especially is a prodigious chewer. They didn't actually destroy it, but they left it with hundreds of tooth marks and little jagged edges that I wasn't too keen on, although the package documentation says that the little slivers are harmless. Eventually they lost interest, although the toy surfaced every now and then. I'm sure we still have it, probably in a box somewhere. We moved almost two years ago, and I know there's at least one box of dog toys in the garage that has yet to be unpacked ... Chuck |
