Having tossed out far too many chew toys for dogs, I opted
to buy a few Nylabone
products. These canine dental
bones and playthings
are known for generally holding up a lot longer than some of the cheaper
versions.
This one was an
immediate favorite for our puppy.
The white-and-green zig-zag striped and knotted rope ring (constructed
of cotton and nylon) includes a hard plastic nubby medallion with mint
flavoring. I didn’t know how Little Big Dog (a Lab mix puppy) would react to
the mint feature, but she took to it right away.
The nubby texture is supposed to help with the dog’s dental
health, by cutting down on tartar buildup on the teeth.
Does the Nylabone Dental Ring offer enough bite for the buck?
Here’s what ours looks like, after a week of use by Little
Big Dog, who is given to enthusiastic gnawing and playing. At this point in her
life, she gives chew toys a real workout.
Compared to the Nylabone
Dental Rope, the ring seems considerably stronger and more durable. Little
Big Dog went through the rope in a couple of days. Although the rope ring shows some signs of wear, it is holding up fairly well.
The Nylabone
Dental Ring retails for close to $15, but I picked it up on sale for
$5.99.That made it a pretty good deal.
