"Well liked and worked on for several hours. My only concern was after a few days the ends chipped so to be safe I took it away. "

— Kindelwyrm

"I got this bone for my dog because I wanted to try an alternative to leg bones, which have a lot of smaller bones tucked into the tissue. Unfortunately, this bone almost immediately began to break. My dog (65 lbs, but that's the size this is for) was able to bite off one of the ends."

Bottom Line

It's questionable if the experience is worth the risks. Not recommended for extended use due to durabilty.
