Hi,
I watched a program (20/20 or dateline or something along those lines) many months ago about nylabones. They also reported that they do get blockages and people end up losing their dogs or spending $$$$$ getting the blockage removed.
I was in our local pet store looking for something to give to Presley because she was teething badly and needed something to chew on. The man said to use nylabones so i told him about the report i watched. He said it was probably rawhide or pigs ears i was thinking and i said Nope. rawhide and pigs ears go very soft when broken off.. Nylabones stay hard...
needless to say Presley has a nylabone but she has never touched it. She has had 3 large raw hides which she loves but only chews on them about once or twice a week.. pigs ears she has had many but the vet told me they are loaded with salt and not to give them to her...


Actually i have one more question.. There are these bone things you can buy that are banana,liver,cheese,potato,chicken all sorts of flavors and they are suppost to break down. Does anyone use them? Are they safe?
