FAQs

What age is this Nylabone chew toy suitable for?

This chew toy is designed for teething puppies who still have their first set of teeth. It is not recommended for dogs or puppies with adult teeth.

Is the chicken flavor just on the outside?

No, the chicken flavor is infused throughout the entire chew toy, ensuring the taste lasts as long as the chew itself.

Is it safe if my puppy swallows small pieces?

Yes, if your puppy manages to bite off any pieces, they should only be as small as a grain of rice and are designed to pass safely if swallowed. However, always supervise your pet.

How often should I replace this chew toy?

You should replace the chew toy when it becomes too small for your puppy to safely chew, or if it shows significant wear, such as large pieces missing, which could pose a choking hazard.

Can I put this chew toy in the dishwasher to clean it?

It is best to clean the Nylabone Puppy Chew Toy by hand with warm water and mild, pet-safe soap, then rinse thoroughly and air dry. Avoid using a dishwasher, as high heat can potentially damage the material.

Will this toy hurt my puppy's teeth?

No, this chew toy is made from a softer, more flexible material specifically designed to be gentle on a puppy's developing teeth and gums, while still satisfying their chewing needs. It also features raised bristles that help clean teeth.

My puppy is a very aggressive chewer for their age. Is this still suitable?

While designed for teething puppies, if your puppy is an exceptionally aggressive chewer for their age, always supervise them closely. If they quickly destroy the toy or try to ingest larger pieces, you may need to consult your vet or consider other Nylabone options designed for stronger chewers, once their adult teeth are present and stronger options are safe.

Troubleshooting

My puppy isn't interested in the chew toy.

Try introducing the toy during a positive moment, such as playtime or after a meal. You can also try gently rubbing a treat or a small amount of peanut butter (if safe for puppies) into the grooves to encourage initial interest. Ensure your puppy isn't already too tired or distracted.

The chew toy seems to be wearing down quickly.

This Nylabone is designed for teething puppies and is softer than adult chews. Rapid wear might indicate your puppy has stronger chewing habits or is approaching the stage of adult teeth. Always supervise your puppy. If the toy is wearing down to a size that could pose a choking hazard or if your puppy has adult teeth, it's time to replace it with a more durable chew designed for adult dogs.

My puppy attempts to eat large pieces of the chew.

While small, rice-grain sized pieces are generally safe to pass, if your puppy is managing to break off and attempt to swallow larger pieces, immediately remove the toy. This indicates the toy may be too soft for your puppy's current chewing strength or that they have outgrown this specific puppy chew. Always supervise chewing sessions and replace the toy if it becomes damaged or too small.

Pros and Cons

  • Effectively relieves teething discomfort for puppies.
  • Encourages healthy chewing habits and discourages destructive chewing.
  • Flavor infused throughout the toy keeps puppies engaged for longer.
  • Gentle material is safe for developing puppy teeth and gums.
  • Helps clean teeth and prevent tartar buildup.
  • Durable design that does not splinter into large pieces.

Cons

  • Not suitable for dogs with adult teeth, as it's too soft.
  • Requires pet supervision during use to ensure safety.
  • Not indestructible; needs to be replaced when worn or too small.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply present the Nylabone Puppy Chew Toy to your puppy. No assembly or preparation is required.

Compatibility: This chew toy is specifically designed for teething puppies with their first set of teeth. It is not recommended for dogs or puppies that have developed their adult teeth, as its softer material is not suited for stronger jaws and could be destroyed too quickly.

Care: To keep the chew toy clean, simply wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild soap (if necessary), then rinse thoroughly. Always ensure the toy is completely dry before returning it to your puppy. Regularly inspect the toy for signs of wear and tear, such as significant roughening, large missing pieces, or if it becomes small enough for your puppy to try to swallow whole. Replace the chew toy when it shows substantial wear or if it becomes too small to be safely chewed.
