Why are Nylabones bad for dogs?
Some pet owners think that the Nylabone Plaque Attackers are good for aggressive chewers, but they can cause damage, Becker said. Nylabone recently issued a warning on them, because when dogs with sharp teeth chew on them, they may fracture into little shards, which could perforate the intestine, and harm the dog.
Is it safe for my dog to eat Nylabones?
Is Nylabone Safe? Nylabones are safe to play with but are not safe to eat – just like chewing on a pen cap isn't going to hurt you, but chewing it apart and swallowing the pieces just might! Only the Nylabones that are marketed as edible, such as the Nylabone Healthy Edibles line, are intended to be eaten.
Do vets recommend Nylabones?

What's better than Nylabone?
Natural chews such as bully sticks and safe, non-toxic chew toys such as Nylabones! I've always been a big fan natural shed antler chews because they are safe, relatively odor-free, healthy, and long-lasting. However, bully sticks are a great alternative for smaller dogs or less passionate chewers.
What if my puppy eats a Nylabone?
If your dog has eaten a large piece of a Nylabone, you need to go to the vet immediately! ... If your dog swallows a large portion of Nylabone or other chew toy, 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.
How long does a Nylabone last?
They last us about 3 or 4 months, which in my opinion is very good for a dog toy if you have tough chewers. That being said, the reason they don't last longer for us, is because they end up turning into a "shank" as my husband refers to them haha.
Are Nylabones really flavored?
They are not flavored, so they are rather boring. They've nibbled on them a bit, but that's about it. Rawhides are expensive, especially at the rate Annie goes through them.
Are Benebones safe?
SAFETY AND CARE
No, Benebones are not edible. As with any chew toy, we recommend monitoring your dog's use and replacing after reasonable wear. As a result of normal, extended chewing on the Benebone, pieces may fall off over time.

What is the safest chew bone for dogs?
Stay away from cooked turkey, chicken, and pork bones as they can easily splinter. Instead, buy raw, domestically-produced beef shank bones as they are big enough that your dog won't be able to swallow them and won't hurt their teeth.
Why are greenies bad for dogs?
When digested, the carbohydrates found in pea flour are broken down into sugars in the mouth which fuel plaque and tartar build-up on your dog's teeth. Pea flour is nothing more than a cheap filler disguised as a protein that actually makes your dog's dental health worse.
How do I get my dog to like a Nylabone?
Sometimes handing your dog a new Nylabone right out of the package just won't cut it—you need to make it seem like a really special object first. You can start by acting like he's getting a special reward so he gets excited about it. Then, give it to him for a short period of time and take it away.
Are Nylabone Healthy Edibles safe?
