I have posted this before but will do so again to warn all of you regarding
Nylabones.
They are plastic and not safe for a chewer. If you read the back of the label
you will see the the manufacturer states: Small fragments will come off the
size of rice and "SHOULD PASS". What they don't tell you is these small
fragments are like little slivers of glass and can do harm to your petin their
intestines and stomachs. I have been there with Buddy so I know.
My vet said he would never give a nylabone to any of his dogs. They are
not safe. $2,200.00 later I understood after the fact. So please
be carefull. If your dog is a chewer do not give Nylabones to him/her.
The aggressive chewer, which Buddy was, is no better. Pieces come off.
I had them all, in every color. I learned the hard way. Thank God Buddy
was ok after 4days in the hosp.
Better safe than sorry.
