It's a hard call. Going to have this convo with my vet in a couple days..again. If I thought E was getting anything beyond a tiny piece here and there, I'd immediately take them away. I'm not so concerned about Ry. I don't give anything unless I'm in the same room and I stop them periodically to check the chews.

Pretty much either have tooth break risk or obstruction risk. I guess obstruction risk is more severe, but teeth issues can get really nasty too. Ry's toofers can break - he's insured. LOL. But E's teeth, not so much.

My vet has a special interest in dentistry and gets a lot of the miserable tooth cases around here. Going to see what she thinks breaks teeth the easiest. I know she has mentioned ice, Nylabones, and bullies do too. No give = terrible for teeth. I don't trust the Hartz company and don't want to give them $$ if possible. But then I don't trust any of them.

I don't care for Hartz either; but I have to say these bones are something that caught my eye a long time ago. Took me a while before I broke down and tried them....my pups love them!

Geno is obsessed with his nylabone but I only allow him to have it when I am with him just in case something happens when I'm not there.

Hepburn is seriously in love with his nylabones. He weighs just under 2kg and he carries two small ones around in his mouth a time if he thinks I am about to clean up toys because he doesn't want them put away. He has a smaller chicken flavored flexible one (called nyla), a larger chicken flavored flexible one (called big nyla), a smaller blue unflavored nubby one (called spiky nyla) and a weird looking red and white one with fours end that is flexible on the ends but hard in the middle (each side of the bone splits into two ends) (called bacon nyla because it is bacon flavored). He won't sleep in his bed or mine with out his spiky nyla and he never goes out on the town without one either. Sometimes I wake up in the morning and all of them have migrated to the bed. I will probably be replacing the large one soon since it is a hand me down from my parents and has some wear on the one end. Otherwise, he rarely gets any pieces off of them and despite daily chewing, they all look brand new except the large one.

Mine love their nylabones. Especially fighting over it. Mine are puppies and teething so I don't know if that's why they like them so much.

Cali is 2 mos and she really likes hers for teething.
My Border collie/lab mix loves her Kong toy as well.
