luvsdogs Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) My dogs love nylabones but hard to get from some sources. I was told that the price had been raised so much that they were no longer going to stock them. I get the nylon ones from the supermarket, they love them just as much. But my puppy prefers them after the big dogs have chewed them for a while. :laugh: Raw meaty bones are great as a meal but I wouldn't get the weight bearing hard bones as they can break a tooth on them. ETA What breed of puppy are you getting? Edited February 15, 2012 by luvsdogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nushie Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Jager still loves his Nylabones. We have 4 i think now. And he carries them around the house with. If we are sleeping and there isnt one in the bedroom he will run upstairs to get one and bring it back to chew on our bed. Best investment ever for us.

I can't find one that my Pug likes as much as a real old stinky lamb bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumof4girls Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I give my boy meaty soup beef bones. I haven't seen nylabones I will have to look out for them.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SparkyTansy Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Mine all love the nylabone... probably the dog that it was the biggest hit for was my sisters Old English Sheepdog... only problem was once it was chewed for a while, it used to get stuck in his coat!

~Anne~ Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 My pugs all chew their Nylabones on a daily basis. I actually get tired of standing on the bones that they leave everywhere! I think they're worth the money. I recently picked one up in Bali for about $3 which was a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we have this problem too, why is it necessary to leave one lying in the middle of the hallway?? :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizT Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 My indoor dogs have had Nylabones since the 1970's. I do give a marrow bone to the GSD who lives out doors, when I gave him a Nylabone he buried it!!! It has yet to resurface along with a Kong, food puzzles and other misc. items.

minimiss Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I just got a Nylabone off of ebay.. So many on there! Will be taking it home to my baby tonight to see if he likes it. It's a bacon flavoured fishy. I'm sure he'll be impressed :laugh: (I was) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjelkier Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Nylabones are very popular in this house too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laneka Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Nylabones from K Mart, only prob is that they tend to chew one end only. But they love them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emgem Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I use nylabones and deer antlers, but Olle much prefers the antlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Anne~ Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 My guys loved the antlers. The problem with them though was that one developed a very sharp point which actually cut the roof of Boof's mouth, toward the soft palate, and after the initial panic that he had an unexplained ulcer that was possibly cancerous, we realised it was just the bone causing the damage. I threw the antlers in the bin and went back to the nylabone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately, Olle doesn't really chew his in a way that would lend itself to the development of a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancinbcs Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I use nylabones and deer antlers, but Olle much prefers the antlers. We use nylabones and antlers and they swap from one to the other. I will never buy the cheaper white nylon bones again after having a dog chew one into 2cm pieces, swallow them and throw them all back up again. Very dangerous.

Nushie Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 This is Jager's favourite at the moment: http://www.vetnpetdirect.com.au/yuppie_puppy_marrow_chews?sc=9&category=172 But he goes through cycles. For weeks on end he wont touch anything but the above and then for no apparent reason he will chew on one specific nylabone and then wont touch that one again for a few months. So we have: - the above marrow nylon bone - 2 x nylabones (1 chicken and 1 beef) - T-Bone http://www.vetnpetdirect.com.au/Texas-T-Bone Loves all of them. He didnt really get into chewing them until he was about 6-9 months but since then he cant be stopped. And even the beef nylabone which was the only one we had for ages is still going strong.
