| Nylabone Healthy Edibles Are they OK? There were a zillion different traditional rawhides that I know to stay away from then I saw these edibles bones in all kinds of flavors. There's supposedly no rawhide in them. I got the Roast Beef flavor and Chewie flipped out He loved it! Anyone heard any risks with them, just to be on the safe side...?

| What's a "greenie"? These bones aren't green. These are the ingredients: Wheat starch, glycerin, cellulose, lecithin, potato starch, natural flavor, roast beef flavor, oat fiber, calcium carbonate, soy flour & rosemary oil.

| bully sticks are bones, made out of bulls penis..100 percent digestable. unlike rawhide that pieces tend to break off as they chew. bully sticks dont do that.. i get them in 12 inch long sticks and when they get down to about 3 inches, i throw them away... any pet store sells them, but i get them in bulk online.. some of the yorkietalkers here sell them.

| errrrr....you can keep the bull pee-pee, that's pretty nasty....LOL! I looked at the nylabone chewie has been gnawing on and he seems to have chewed it down quite a bit and it doesnt look like it breaks into shards or pieces. If he was a huge dog it might since the bone is on the small side. Looks fine to me so far... I'll keep monitoring.

| My girls love the nylabone edibles but i have to take them away after a little bit. if they eat too much, they get the runs. My girls LOVE the bully sticks but they can SMELL!! If you can find the tendons, they are wonderful and don't have that nasty smell that the wet bully sticks take on. It is hard to find chewies that aren't rawhide or made in China. I won't buy anything for them to eat or chew on if it comes from China. Alyssa (AMD) has the Bully Sticks that are great!! Here is her website: Products |
