Help - Nylabones Are there different kinds of nylabones? My brother in law sent one with her, it is black and I think she is eating the plastic off it. I thought I read somewhere that nylabones were fine for them. |
Some of the nylbones I would be weary of, is it something that they could break off and swallow. I know some of them are edible |
Hiro-san loves the edible nylabones! They come in different sizes (some are HUGE!) and flavours (mmmm, tasty peanut butter!), but I haven't seen any of the edible ones come in black.. I'm paranoid of all toys so I check them regularly and repair them, wash them, boil them or just toss them. lol |
I'm thinking that my black one must be plastic. Today in the pet store I saw different colored ones, do they last a while? |
we gave my 4 month old puppy one of those that was for puppies only and she either ate the whole thing or hid it somewhere that we cant find it. i thought it said it was not ediable, i think it was the roast beef flavor. :aimeeyorkgracie |
I can't give Cody any of the plastic "tough" ones that are supposed to help with teething. He's a hard chewer and has them in pieces in minutes |
Hiro is a stubborn little chewer, so he has the mini edible nylabones gone in an hour or so. I throw the little stub away so he doesn't choke on it. He doesn't gulp either so if a small piece comes off the bone he chews and chews and chews on it. lol |
Our dogs love the nylabones. They have the NON-edible ones and they last a long time. The edible ones disappeared too fast and I had concerns about them chocking on the pieces. With the non-edible version they only get very small pieces that will easily pass through their digestive systems. We have never had a problem with these and they always have them at their disposal. |
I just want to make sure that the non-edible bones are ok for them. She is just starting to chew some of the coloring off. I don't want to poison her. |
Sasha LOVES nylabones and there's definitely many different kinds. I started off with the flexible flavored kind until I found out that she was a stronger chewer than I thought she was, so I switched to the durable kind. I'm pretty sure it's chicken flavored and she absolutely loves it. Plus, it keeps her busy for awhile. |
I am very much afraid of the Nylabones. Especially the non-edible ones. My kids gnaw off small pieces and I would find them in their poop. I'm not sure where they are manufactured, but if I had to guess I'd say...... CHINA :( |
my yorkie loves nylabones they're just about the only thing he can have, he is such a strong chewer he gets through things sooooo fast so i think nylabones are the best toy, i get the ones that are really thick called prince and they are blue and round, they are for powerful chewers... Tyler does get bits off but only shavings like rice sized which is ok according to the leaflet in the packaging! nylabones are vetenary approved also i think so its the only toy i trust really and they are great for their teeth too!:) :thumbup: |
With the non-edible version they only get very small pieces that will easily pass through their digestive systems. We have never had a problem with these and they always have them at their disposal. __________________ The package states "Should pass through their digestive systems" it does not state IT WILL! Just to let you know the sliver's can cut the wall of the intestines and bowel area making them bleed. I have been through it with Buddy and they are very dangerous. Please don't give your baby plastic nylabones. For a dog that chews these fragments off your looking at expensive hospitalization possibly. It cost me $2,200.00 to find out that nylabones are very dangerous to puppies and dogs. |
I dont use them. My brothers Yorkie ate one,and it was suppose to be non edible,so I've steared clear. I've been buying bones at the butchers. Cooking them in beef broth (for flavor) They can't break down and they seem to love them. If I get a good size hallow one,I fill it with all natural peanut butter and treats,or cook liver up and fill it freeze it ,they love it. It keeps them busy for hours. |
I give Gizzie the non edible ones and for an extra treat I will sometimes smear a little p'nut butter on it, she goes wild;) |
That's strange how they're able to eat through them. I have a bone-shaped one that seems to be indestructible. Not even a scratch on it. |
I give mine the non-edible too for heavy shewers never had a problem with them but like anything else I always supervise them:rolleyes: |
She hates them! Is there a way to get Gracie to like chewing the nylabone? Recently Gracie was able to chew right through a Kong Wubba toy and I refuse to give her anything that is going to be able to be chewed... BUT.... she has no interest at all in the Nylabones. We bought the chicken flavored non-edible one and she chewed it for a few seconds... then left it sit for days!! She just wants things she can destroy! |
Nylabone Treats The non-edible bones are ok for them. Just as a previous poster said, small shavings will pass easily through their system. The great thing about them, is that they will last much longer. On the other hand, pooches seem to go wild over the edible bones, but they do go very quickly. And, as always you have to watch them with treats and/or toys.:) Quote:

Product Alerts Rawhide, Nylabone,Cow hooves, Pig ears-The hidden dangers Googling about the safety of Nylabones brings up a few sites like the ones above. These seem to be for the non-edible type. They can cause problems and dogs do get small pieces off of them. Non-edible Nylabones are made of nylon and/or rubber. Not a healthy snack... The edible type may be digestible but the ingredients are just a bunch of 'fillers' for the most part it looks like. |
I think the one you've got is a "Chocolate" Nylabone-we have one too. The girls don't really like it-more they just carry it around rather than chew on it. The brown stuff is just on the outside, and it comes off with a little wear. |
we gave kinnys the edible nylabone and it was gone in a few minutes !! so we bought the non edible ones i think its jerky flavour, she s not bothered with it !! eek !!! |
Nylabone Has Organic Line of Treats Have you tried the Nylabone Vida Organic Treats? |

I totally agree! I will not give my pups the edible ones! I remember the horrors of Greenies! I still will not give them even though the company said they fixed the problem. I only use the hard Nylabones and I watch to be sure they are not chewing anything off of them. My pups love those things! |

I am so glad someone READ my post.:( People come on here and ask questions regarding something like Nylabones then disregard what another say's.:eek: After reading a story like Buddy's who in their right mind would continue to give their dog a plastic bone to chew and then say the plastic will come threw! Sorry but it's so frustrating. If you don't want to go by other's experience at least don't dismiss the answer to the question. |
I have never bought Nylabones. I wasn't sure if they were safe or not. I had heard many different stories , so I decided I just wouldn't start....just in case. Sydney ( non YOrkie) can destroy even the best of bones. I would never give her the non edible nylabones knowing she would destroy it and eat it . I use to give her rawhide bones (before I found out how dangerous it could be) and she could tear up a 8-10 inch rawhide in two days flat it was shredded ...gone ! :eek: and she is only a 10 lb. dog ! So needless to say ...she loves to chew. Chloe is small (2.5 lbs) so I don't think she should do much damage to a nylabone, but I won't chance it. I gave them Kongs ( super strong for Syd) and they seem to like it. I do watch Syd and when she is no longer trying to get the treat out and she starts focusing on destroying it , I take it away :rolleyes: I give her the biggest Jumbones/ busybones. I know they are filler and crap ...but I would rather her eat that than plastic and rubber till I can find a good alternative. |

Maxi is an intensive chewer so instead of nylabone I get him bully sticks. |
So confused.... :confused: I read all the posts here about the nyla bones and am a little confused about whether these are good chewies or not....I know raw hide is a no-no, and according to some so are both the edible and non-edible nyla bones......From someone who only wants the very, very safest, and best products for my future fur baby....what is the best chew toy for a puppy, and when she gets older? Help! :aimeeyork Thanks!!! :) |
