With her chewing these and using the John Paul products, Lucy's teeth and gums are very white and cavity free.I have bought several other Nylabone chew toys ..."
"We have a yellow lab, he is a strong chewer. This bone was not a good choice for him because of the texture. It has small pins sticking up, he easily can snap them off and swallow them. There are too many of these pieces compared to other Nylabones and we did not feel comfortable letting him have it..."
