We have a few nylabones around and have not had aproblem with them. I get the ones for agresive chewers and just watch the knuckles...if they start to wear down too much, or if the pieces breking off get big, I throw the bone out.

I think like any dog toy, you will get mixed opininions...some people love rawhide, others think it is dangerous.

Kongs are great, and durable, so are Orbees. We also have several, treat dispensing toys, some made by Kong, a giggly-ball, and talk-to me-treat ball. ect.

I think what it comes down to is what you are comfortable giving your dog. I think you can be a little more lenient when you are monitoring what the dog is cheing on...but I would not give a nylabone when you re not home. Just my opinion.

25 CD's OUCH!! Sadie got in big trouble when she ate 1! ...She hasn't eaten any since
