Nylabone Puppy Chew Bones, 12 Count, for puppies, dental nubs

Twelve puppy chew bones sit in this Nylabone pack, each one a bone-shaped chew in lamb & apple flavour for small breed puppies. Each chew measures 2.25" long, 1.25" wide and 0.75" high out of the package, and the maker lists them for dogs up to 20 pounds and puppies three months and older. The chews are made in the United States without artificial preservatives, colours or flavours.

The shape and texture of each bone

Each chew is moulded in a bone form with dental nubs along the surface, and the maker states that those nubs clean teeth through natural chewing action. The chews are shaped as fun animal shapes rather than plain bones, and the regular style is the one packed here.

The manufacturer describes the chews as highly digestible, which is a statement about how the formula is put together rather than a direction for feeding. Chewing is the listed use, and the maker also lists training among the specific uses.

What goes into the lamb & apple chews

The ingredient list opens with wheat starch, then glycerin, pea protein, natural flavour, powdered cellulose, lecithin and dried chicken. Further down are calcium carbonate, apple, potato starch, oat hulls, fish oil, lamb meal and natural bacon flavour. DHA is part of the formula, which the maker describes as specially formulated for puppies. No salt or sugar is added to the chews.

Does your puppy fit these chews?

Check two numbers before buying: your dog should be up to 20 pounds, and your puppy should be at least three months old. The chews measure 2.25" long and 1.25" wide, which is the size to compare against your puppy's mouth.

What customers say

Customers find these dog treats tasty and great for teething puppies, keeping them occupied for a while. However, the durability and chew quality receive mixed feedback - while some say they last a long time, others report they don't last as advertised, and while some dogs enjoy them for 40 minutes, others finish them within 20 minutes. Moreover, the digestibility and value for money are also mixed aspects, with some customers reporting diarrhea and considering them too expensive for their short lifespan, while others say they don't upset their dogs' stomachs and are worth the price. Additionally, the size receives criticism, with customers noting they're too small for medium-sized dogs and puppies.
