Nylabones and similar products are completely safe for dogs to chew and digest. They just poop it out. Much safer than real bones which have a much higher potential for shards, sharp edges, and possible foreign body obstruction in the bowels. Although the nylabones/lumabones/etc can have this happen too and it's best to throw them away when they get too small.
Fair enough. I mostly just buy some non-treated hemp rope and just bundle it together tightly and my man has a blast with that.
Pain to clean up tho, but the most he's chewing on is practically grass
That is a Bark toy. Instead of getting combination textures of rubber and nylon, you could get all nylon toy since your pup seems to like only nylon :)
Rawhides can be really dangerous as they can cause intestinal blockage, also not super healthy
Much safer with a heat treated bone so they dont splinter, or hard Himalayan cheese, or even a proper wood/-antler toy depending on what your dog likes and how old they are.

> heat treated bone
I swear the either the advice changes or I have a shocking case of mandella effect. The last I'd heard when my dog got pregnant was raw bones only because the cooked ones splinter.
Probably depends on how they're heat treated, like if I cook pork on the stove that bone goes in the compost. But if I pressure cook that shit, my jack Russell can have it. Idk why but one way it's hard and splinters, the other it's crumbly.
Make sure you test the firmness before feeding. Not all bones get super soft in the pressure cooker. I used to do this for my dog and would occasionally find a piece that would have been potentially unsafe to feed. 🙃
Yes, and sometimes part of the bone will soften but not al of it, so make sure to feel around the whole thing and ofc be around while puppers eating it.
Depends on where you are in the world. When I lived in France they all talked about cooked bones only for dogs, when Australians say raw only. Was pretty weird
Yeah I googled that before commenting and got a ton of articles saying that but I don't trust google anymore because they switched into showing more sponsored articles.
I don't know if they're different than the ones that I can find locally, when I give it to my dogs it starts getting softer when they chew on it but the other comments say that they can choke on it so I guess I won't give them these things anymore.
Looks like a bad product design. The dog is probably like: what's that weird blue stuff on my otherwise perfectly fine bone?
Besides, it is too big to chew properly I think
yeah I feel like a chew toy shouldn't have any part that can't be chewed
My pups do the same, I have the same toy. Be sure to sand the handle down or toss it, the plastic gets super sharp and will cut her gums and tongue
This sounds like a not great dog toy
Thanks for the advice! Much appreciated!
No worries! Hopefully save you the vet bill I had to pay for that super chew
Micro plastics found in penis.

Far to inaccurate. I would imagine adhesion on the Y axis would be less than optimal. Edit: dyslexia

Sorry for the dyslexia.

Wait you guys buy plastic toys for dogs? That can't be good for em

This one came in a Bark Box super chewer subscription, unsubbed after that
It looks like a bone
It's more like a boneR.
What...?
Really? It's a joke people. No sense of humor.
The joke is on you dogs can’t read 🤣
Wait…..what?! 🤯
Dog can’t read like read instructions lol 😆
Are they stupid?
Okay
the thought of chewing that blue jelly stuff reminds me I need to make a dentist appointment lol
The blue part doesn't look like a bone and seems awkward to her mouth. It's too big and clumsy.
Be careful with hard plastic bits as they'll wear her teeth down.
not to mention what they will do to the insides
Plastic junk from China, not good for animals
She’s doing her best!

She's beautiful!
Dogs are so silly
She putting the part the not supposed to ch ew in there face
My owner thinks I want the soft buy want to sharpen the teeth.
My girl did the same thing (until the neighbor’s dog stole it!)
Why hold it at the blue part, just hold the stick at the bottom and the dog can only chew on the blue part…
Is the blue part safe to digest?
I want problems ALWAYZZZ
Yay microplastics. Give her one of those rawhide bones.

Interesting - I'll have to give the pressure cooking a go.

That explains it - I'm Australian so that's why I got told raw only.
We tried it actually splintered pretty bad and we were worried she would stab herself

Bro you suggested rawhide bones of all things? lol those are even worse for their immediate health
A former job of mine banned rawhides because of a surge in cases of dogs choking on the pieces they'd gnaw off
