After you cut out the tabs at the opening, do they make their tongue sore from hitting them though? Because the hole won't be as smooth with the nubs

I didn't cut them out and she seems to be able to work out her treats if i don't fill it too full. so can't answer this question. sorry

I cut the tabs out, maybe two-thirds off so they're still stubs. The rubber is fairly soft and flexible. My dog eats her dinner out of her squirrel - with her tongue like an anteater. She doesn't chew it at all. She's a border collie (about 40 pounds) and I believe we got a large, and she's been using it for at least 6 months now.

Not something I've ever had to worry about, but I would assume so. There would be no way for them to chew through since it's metal and the roll-out door would be too heavy to slip under or lift.

I haven't noticed any difference, but I have a large dog that is a heavy chewer and she makes short work of them--gone in 20 minutes. Don't know how old your puppy is--could she be teething and have sore gums?

As far as I can tell, the answer would be no. It makes a permanent bond. You would have to cut them out.

They could pop it if they scratch at it. Not sure if they could reallt bite it.

Yes but cutting is involved...just a little...due to the dbl.dins weight...make tabs

These chews are hard. It takes my doggies quite a while to chew one up. Eventually they get soft and gooey so if they get on your couch or bed it can cause a bit of a mess! I don't think they'd cut easily either. They aren't super large but even my Chi enjoys chewing on them. :-)

Not that I could see right off, depends on how they attach to a cage. I'm sure you could come to some arrangement of it. I would be afraid of them chewing through the cage.

Set the heating pad on low and make sure it's covered well with the fleece blankets and you will be fine. They shouldn't tear into it with their teeth, but can be curious little guys.

It could hurt the cats if you play rough and are not careful. I've gone through about 10 of these in the last 3 years since the wire eventually frays at the top. Only once did our cat get hurt and that's when dear hubby was playing with the new kitten and wasn't paying enough attention and yanked in while she had the wire in her mouth. It cut her little mouth but we didn't know until she stopped eating. The vet gave her painkillers for 3 days and all was well. I won't stop using the dabird gocat cat catcher because it is all of our cats favorite toys ever. We just need to be careful when playing :) It could hurt the cats if you play rough and are not careful.

yes if this is your preference !!! Some of boys in team shelled it and others just chewed them up .... however, may not be a good choice because it could be a potential choking hazard !!!!!!

I think it's more of their tongue that is used, so a pug shouldn't have a problem. I tilt it down for my dog anyway.

Sorry to hear that! I'm not sure if this product will work.. it keeps them from biting their body well but they might could still scratch their face with their back paw. I'd say it's a coin flip. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Supposedly they do not hurt. Our dog did not make any sound that would indicate the collar hurt her. But we have switched to a different type of collar because we read too much about the damage to a dog's trachea from constant pulling on any collar around the neck.

I don't think so. I've only had a few kiddos attempt to bite them, and only one left toothmarks:)

We just cut them off with a boxcutter. Tore a little but the cats don't mind:)I thought there would be perforated tabs to make it easier,

No, if you size the collar correctly, they do NOT hurt the animal. The animal will only feel the discomfort from the nubs when you are making a correction which is what it is designed to do. Now, the harder the correction, the more the animal will feel it and could yelp if you pull to much, to quick (hard).
