Should the bone be easily chewed down/ eaten? My puppy easily chewed part of the bone down and I could break off parts she chewed with my finger.

My two adult dogs chewed the bone down. I think it may be designed that way so they can get at the filling. I noticed pieces on the rug. Neither dog seemed to have ill effects from the bone pieces.

Some of the bones we ordered our airdale will chew it down but not eat it. If little bits are coming off you May want to try a real baby teething toy for your puppy. The soft rubber maybe slightly tougher and not as easy to bite through like a dog toy. Just in case I would still keep an eye on your little baby until you notice that he/she can't penetrate the rubber teething chew toy. Just another idea. The softer the rubber toy is the puppy will not get bored. Another great way to use that teething toy is to put it in the freezer for five to 10 minutes. The cold soothes the puppies gums. Just an idea for you.Good luck. Some of the bones we ordered our airdale will chew it down but not eat it. If little bits are coming off you May want to try a real baby teething toy for your puppy.

I have given these types of bones to both my lab mixes since they were a little over a year old, and pieces do chip/break off. If they break a large piece off, I do throw that away so they don't risk choking on it. (I don't let them have the bones when I can't watch them). They have never had an upset tummy though from eating the bone chips. Not sure a puppy's digestive system can handle the bone though, so you may want to check with your vet to see if this type of chew treat is okay.

My large 100 lb.+ weimars chewed theses bones and large sharp chunks came off. I was afraid that the pieces would not be good for them and had to dispose of the bones. However, my brother loves these bones for his goldens.

Yes. I was in the same situation. It's a bit heavy but totally worth getting. I have 2 very enthusiastic chewers and this bone was the perfect choice.

My terrier mix chewed it up in about 2 days. I find that the only thing she can't tear up as fast is the Kong balls. All of the other toys she will get the stuffing out of.

Probably in the long run not well. Use anti-chew spray on the rope and it should be prevented. I let the lead drag on the ground and you can tell there is abrasion so I would assume the same would occur with a puppy.

I think you need to look at the more durable beds. It is instinct for a puppy to chew "anything". This bed is soft and comfortable, but could not withstand chewing. Good luck, puppies are worth it;)

They can be chewed in half eventually. It's not like one bite and pop. My dog generally creates a puncture then rips it open.

It's not a shape that would encourage chewing, Our dog is a chewer but has never attempted to chew the bob-a-lot. She doesn't play with it as often now as she did at the start, but it always has treats in it and she often gives it a nudge as she passes by and grabs a treat or two

I have a little dog about 12 lbs. I just broke the pieces by hand. I found them very easy to break. Sophie had no problems chewing the pieces.

Hmmm, not sure. We purchased the larger sized bone which is pretty big. I am not sure what type of bone your dog tears apart to know how that may compare to the size of this bone. Since it is made of plastic, it takes some powerful chewing to actually break it. My dog will go at it for a while but picks different places along the toy to chew. This helps prolong how long it lasts. She usually ends up pulling off small "chips" of it at first before larger pieces break off. Once that happens, we have to throw it away.

I just wrote you a long answer and my computer ate it :-( Long story short - if your dog uses it correctly (rolling it around), it should be fine. If he (she?) is big enough to get his jaws around it (it's about the size of a canteloupe), he could definitely chew and crack it. I recommend the Kong Wobbler. It's quieter, more interesting in its movements, is shaped and weighted so that it would be more difficult for your dog to chew it and it's made out of tougher plastic. FWIW.

Hi Caryl, this is Benebone the seller. We have a new smaller bone coming out in the coming months. For a heavy chewer, we recommend the larger size for safety. But we are excited about the smaller one. You can always order it and if it doesn't work out we will refund you. Best, Peter at Benebone

I would say Yes. My grown dog loves them too. But my neighbor just got a smaller dog (pup) and I actually gave them a bag, because I noticed that while I was holding it, he was constantly trying to chew on my hand with those little sharp teeth, so I thought a bag of those would be perfect for the puppy to chew on and not choke. But, as I have had many puppies and dogs, I always watch them when they are chewing on onesomething until they are finished. I never leave a pet alone with a chew bone.

Just a quick note. When doing dogs toenails the speed(hi or low) depends on type of dog. I have rotties and I use hi because the adult dogs have good sized tough toenails. I started new puppy at 4 months using low gently stopping every so often to give treats and praise. Have used it 3 times gently with cookies and she is o.k. Doesn't struggle but she is really smart and food driven. Some of the bigger dogs that didn't get started young still are less accepting but with gentle introduction and(hopefully) extra pair of hands when you start for the first few times they get used to it. If you have a small dog with less tough toenails use the low setting. I am still on low with puppy now 5 months.I never cut toenails any more just dremel about once a month depending how fast nails grow. I also try to get dog up on the bed or couch to save my back as it's easier than bending over. Puppy is still lifted up into high kitchen chair at 50 #. Be careful not to p,ress hard and long on high because heat is generated causing discomfort to dog. Try working on nail sideways from right to left or vice versa. Less heat than frontal attack.

I wouldn't worry too much as they take a while to break down my pug had one for a good two wks and that's chewing daily. If you're worried about weight try antler chews they are rock hard and so good for them , but they'll take years to make a dent in !

My puppy has tried to dig out as well but it hasent done any damage or scratched it at all. She has also chewed on the cage a lot but it is still in good condition unlike other cages that bend.

I think your dog would be okay with it. My dog loves Nylabones, but he's a 45lb vigorous chewer and this one wasn't tough enough for him. He was able to break off the tail, head, and little bumps on the body and unfortunately he swallowed some, which gave him severe diarrhea. So as long as he/she isn't strong enough to chew a lot off at a time and doesn't swallow any, I think she'd be ok. As far as the teeth problem reviews, I think there is always a risk in giving your dog a durable chew toy. They're tough. That's the point haha
