Nylabones?

[Rosefern]

Anyone here give their dogs Nylabones? Either the edible kind or the...non-edible kind?

Just wondering what everyone's experiences with them were...I'm looking for new ways to keep my dogs from becoming bored...

My dogs have non-edible Nylabones laying around the house. My guys like to chew on them sometimes and I've never had a problem with them.

I alos have non-edible Nylabones around the house. Millie couldn't really care less about them, but Lucy likes them. They last long with her, I get bigger sizes, she doesn't rip off chunks, and when they wear down to a small size I throw them away. No problems here.

I have a non-edible one. It was boiled in chicken broth and she loves it. Or, loved it until something better came along. She much prefers her real bones.

She had the edible ones once. She ate them so fast, I don't think she'll be getting them again.

I have a very hard bone-shaped one for him.. he lurves it. Got him a softer plastic one in a different shape that's a bit thicker for Christmas... he went NUTS when he sniffed the package and didn't even wait till all the wrapping was off to start gnawing on it. I think I've found a WINNER, lol. Safe, long-lasting, easy to clean toy that he loves. woot!

Yup, mine like nylabones. I have to get the hard nylon kind for Eve since she will rip apart a flexible one in a day if it isn't a gigantic one.

Mostly they get raw marrow bones for recreational chewing but sometimes they like a break from those.

The flexible kind don't last long here either. But the hard ones just aren't that interesting to these guys. Especially now that they have gotten raw bones so often, anything else is just meh.

Buster ate all the flexible non edible ones meant for the toy dog...

and then gave it back in pieces! Yuck.

The flexible ones never last here, my gang will be tearing chunks out of them in no time at all. I've never tried the hard ones, but the edible ones are a favorite treat of my pups.

I give Bella the hard non edible ones, the large size. She really likes to chew on them. Seems to keep her occupied. After about 8 or 10 months I have to buy a new one as there is not much left.

 

[Buddy'sParents]

No. Anything my dogs can rip apart to pieces is not something I like to give them. It's a good thing they aren't that into nylabones anyways.

 

[SizzleDog]

Yep, mine have tons of the non-edible Nylabone ones. Ronin and Ada are the only ones that really chew them, but once in awhile Ilsa will surprise us all and gnaw on one!

 

[elegy]

we have several of the non-edible ones lying around and they do chew them from time to time. mostly they prefer the raw marrow bones.

 

[Whisper]

Ditto grace, they like raw marrow bones better but Lucy likes Nylabones, too.

 

[Lilavati]

Sarama ignores the non-edible ones . . . I ended up giving the ones we had to a rescue.

She likes the edible ones . . . and she gets them in the car, because they don't make a mess. The eucaylptus are one of her favorites . . . go figure.

 

[Chiluver]

Mine won't touch the non-edible ones, those are the only ones I've tried

My cat, Emma, likes Nylabones. His new one was sitting in his crate and I heard some loud thumbs and the rattling f the crate.. looked over and she's trying to pull it out through the bars. I let her in, and she went straight for it, chewing on it. Weird little cat.

LOL Our cat used to take pigs ears right out of Mick's mouth. It was pretty funny to watch- he was a 75 pound Lab/English Setter, and she weighs all of 7 pounds.

Back to the nylabone question- Caleb's gone through a couple non-edible Souper sized ones. But his all time favorite is the Nylabone Puzzle Bone. In fact, I have to get a hold of my friend who gave it to him and ask her to send me a couple more (nobody around here carries them). The one he has is almost shot. It's lasted him over 6 months, so I can't complain.
