I can only tell you from experience that Nylanones, the non-editable ones
that look like plastic are very dangerous for your dog if they like to chew.
Buddy was an aggresive chewer and would go through these bones in a couple of day's. I had the clear, chocolate and other colors. All for the
hard chewer. The fragments cut up his intestines and it cost me $2,200.00
for 3nights on IV from vomiting and bloody stools. He had a complete
lower GI series which showed grit fragments in his lower intestines.
The only cause had to be the nylabones. My vet said never to give
these types of things to small dogs. Rawhide neither.
They are very dangerous. If your dog chews them and has no problem
you lucky but you never know and it's just not worth the risk.
The label does state TINY FRAGMENTS COME OFF AND SHOULD PASS
THREW BUT THEY DON'T TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY DON'T.
