so we finally bought this nylabones for the first time, 3 months ago. and they are awsome toys, because i still have them after 3 months. but i think i have to thwor them away. yesterday i was checking the dogs teeth and i noticed that their bottom teeth are chipped. they weren't like that before. do you think it could have been the nylabone?

i doubt it, but i guess anything is possible.. do they try and chew their crates?
Hooch has a couple nylabones, and no chips.. maybe email the company?

I have a weim with the toughest jaws I've ever seen! It can't be the nylabones. Chevy does have chips too, but it was from a marrow bone. No more of those!

Do they like rocks???

I doubt it's from the nylabone either.

no they don't like rocks and they don't chew their crates. i don't know, i thought they were chipped from the nylabone. i guess it's from something else...i have no idea what...

Wow I never seen this thread .. Zoey and Jada both chew on Nylabones and no chips .. Those things are super hard so it wouldn't surprise me that they may chip a tooth .. We've had this thing for a VERY long time .. I'll def be sure to keep an eye on their teeth more to be safe .. I have a hard time finding something they can chew that isn't torn up in matter of seconds Sad

My male had cracked his tooth on the nylobone.The tooth had to be removed Sad

.Both of my dogs are very powerful chewers,when I used to by them nylobones and Galileo bones they would grind them to half the size.
So no more any kind of bones in our house.
They have robes to chew on and I started to buy odorless bully sticks. We also have given them antler chews,but the dogs were too hard on them also so we took them away.
Once in a while I would give them rawhide's if I can find any that are not made in China. But even chewing on rawhide's has to be supervised.

We are pretty sure Jade chipped a tooth on a Nylabone. We stopped giving them a while ago. The only bones I usually give her are greenies and bully stick type stuff. We put peanut butter in toys to help entertain her. I am not a fan of the rope toys as they are destroyed very quickly in our house. Anything with stuffing is also a mistake for us. I like the kong toys and basketballs. Somehow they manage to survive and she can't get hurt with them.

I started another thread about the dangers of Nylabones with a letter that I just sent to them.

I'm pissed about this... and the more research I do the more upset I am. I don't understand why there's not a warning on the outside of the package about the dangers. If it would have said there was a potential for chipped teeth I would never have bought it.

I am so glad I read this post. It had never occured to me that my puppy's teeth could crack because of a nylabone. I agree, they should have warning labels about this sort of thing.

Thanks for the heads-up!
