I have posted, several months ago, this very thing. Manufacturers do not
care about the safety of the animals that chew this crap! Buddy is a very
aggressive chewer. He is now 2 1/2 and has slowed down some but still
loves to chew. Bully sticks last about 1/2 hr. I do not buy these anymore.
Nylabone I believe, made him very sick last year. He was hospitalized for
four days. I have searched forever to find a safe chew toy. I found rolled
rawhide, they are shaped like a manoccotti. They are rolled very tight and he can not get off a chuck. I replace it every other day when I see it start to wear around the edges. They are $3.39 for 4. I found them in ShopRite. Believe me I have purchased just about every chew toy out there and this is the best one for Buddy. Hope it works for you as well.
Good luck.
P.S. His teeth are snow white without any tartur anywhere.
The vet was very impressed. We do brush every day.
