"This is the perfect size for my pug mix and she loves it. I had another one in a larger size and it took my dogs about a year to chew on it enough that I threw it away. Long lasting chew toy!"

— James

"Our Aussie had an allergic reaction to this bone. We had to go to the emergency vet for help. We have never had trouble with Nylabone before. We still use other varieties with no issue."

Bottom Line

Does the job well for many, but a slight risk of allergies means it's good, but perfect protection isn't assured.
