| NYLABones... I have a question. Chloe loooooovvvvvveeeeesssss her bone. She is actually taking pieces off of it. Is this okay? or should the bone stay intact? Please let me know because I don't want something bad to happen.

1) Durable - nonconsumable 2) Edible - consumable, but I'm afraid of them and don't feed them. 3) Flexible - nonconsumable If you gave her either the durable or the flexible and she is biting off pieces, then take it up and give her a new one.

| I don't like to give Reeses any kind of bones, because I am afraid that they could break into sharp pieces that he could swallow and hurt him. It could be just me being protective. |

| We have this problem too. Loki is a chewer, but he really only likes to chew stuff he can get pieces off of. He destroys plush toys by chewing ears off, and won't chew on his durable nylabone only his flexible one. In a month he maybe gets 1/4 inch off the end? But he won't chew unless it's possible to get a piece off. He won't chew on his kong or any other hard rubber toys. I do throw them out when he gets a chunk off, but when I give him another he tries to do the same thing. He has tummy issues so no bully sticks, pressed rawhide, etc. I don't know what else to give him??

| Edibles Wosie adores the edible Nylabones. I think she likes the peanut butter ones better than any of the others, but she will chew on the carrot ones too if that is all I have in the house. I watch her closely and she does not seem to be able to bite big choking size pieces off of them, just little crumbly pieces. Once the bone gets to be about 2 inches long, I take it away and give her a new one. We have not had any troubles, tummy or otherwise.

Yorkie Lover Donating Member | My girls love those bones..we give them the noncomsumable ones but sometimes they get little pieces off and we then pick them up...but they usually last a long time for my girls!! We have all sorts of flavors and shapes of them....

| Gucci used to love her edible nylabone but now she wont even touch it. She use to chew on it but I never saw any big pieces that she could choke with. I use to remove the bone when it got to small. Now, She loves her robe and her ball. |
