There seem to be really good and really bad results with this bone, my dog is 28 ibs and a moderate chewer, is this right for her? Thanks!

My dog is about the same weight and I would call her a very aggressive chewer. This is by far her favorite chew toy and it has lasted way longer than I ever expected. It is chewed up pretty well, but she still loves it and it looks to last for a good while yet. You might want to give it a try. Good luck!

This particular item did not last long at all with my dog. All the other shapes have held up very well.

My puppy is 6 months, 30 lbs, and I would classify her as a moderate chewer. She's had it for a little while now. I got her the "giant" one. It's not all that easy for her to bring around, but she learned how, and it is standing the test of a puppy who is growing molars. She mostly only uses it when she gets into really aggressive chewing spurts. She mostly uses stuffed animals (they don't last long, but she loves 'em), a rope, and a red Kong bone.

My dog is 50 lbs and is still chewing on this bone. Little bits do come off and he has swallowed some but seems ok. That would be my only concern.

I think your dog would be okay with it. My dog loves Nylabones, but he's a 45lb vigorous chewer and this one wasn't tough enough for him. He was able to break off the tail, head, and little bumps on the body and unfortunately he swallowed some, which gave him severe diarrhea. So as long as he/she isn't strong enough to chew a lot off at a time and doesn't swallow any, I think she'd be ok. As far as the teeth problem reviews, I think there is always a risk in giving your dog a durable chew toy. They're tough. That's the point haha

Yes, George, only mine did better than that...my 75 pound pit bull ate the entire thing (chewed it up - did not swallow whole) in about 20 minutes! I was actually worried about him, but it didn't seem to affect him at all. I will never buy him another one, though...at $1.00 per minute, not a very good value. If mine were the type to nibble or gnaw gently it would be fine, but my dog has one agenda and that is to completely devour, deconstruct, destroy whatever toys or treats I give him as quickly as possible. :)

Labs (including my own) are notorious for ingesting inappropriately large pieces of whatever they're chewing. I really have to watch him with any rawhide - a couple of times almost had to Heimlich him before he gagged it up. If your dog displays any signs of lethargy or distress eliminating, definitely get him to the vet to x-ray his stomach. Most of these products have warnings about the dangers of such incidents. Thanks for the heads-up though...my guy may need to live without them, even though it looks like something he'd enjoy!

Sorry, I've never used it for long periods of time. Just used as needed. I've been using Liftmode L-Theanine as a daily calmative. It's working really well for my very reactive dog. I got it here on Amazon. I still use composure chews when I need a little bit more on board. One word on dose. I had to use double the dose on my dog to make much difference. She weighs about 35 pounds

My dog is a powerful chewer but hasn't chewed on the bed. I'm not sure how well it would hold up if she decided to chew it. The legs are made out of pretty solid pvc and the canvas is thick. The company has excellent customer service. I was missing a piece of the bed when I unpacked it (on the weekend). I sent an e-mail to the company and heard back from them the same day and they sent the missing parts out right away. Good luck.

My Belgian Malinois is 60 lbs. with very, very strong jaws. This bone works great. I also believe it is a good size for a 40 lb. dog. I wish there was a slightly larger size for my dog.

My doxie has good sound teeth and she takes several minutes to chew this thing up...it is a HARD stick, not brittle, its chewy but its hard. If your Dog has teeth issues I would not suggest this at all. I think you could search for "get naked low calorie soft chews" or something similar to that, to get a GOOD for your pet treat...as my girl LOVES these, she whines for them, so I feel its a great product, MADE IN THE USA too! Hope you can find something =)

Both my large pit and boxer-hound eat 1 cup in the morning and 1 cup for dinner. This seems like a small amount but they were both getting fat when i fed them more. It will be a learning process at 1st because the food is so good for them it easy very easy to overfeed if you base their consumption off of eye ball proportions.. your dogs activity will need to be taken into account. I would start with 1 cup old food 1 cup orijen for a week to allow him to adjust to the giant boost in protien then cut him down to 1 1/2 cups twice a day for another week or two. See if he is gaining weight. I cannot tell u how much it will change your dogs life...my dogs are alive and full of happiness...their coats shine and their bodies are muscular and low in fat. My boxer hound is almost 9 and he thinks hes 2 again on this food and looks the part. By the way at 4 cups a day for my dogs 1 bag lasts 1 month approx and they seem to devour the fish recipe the most

My dogs chiro recommended this awhie back. She said it would be best for him due to all the activity that we do. It helps him a lot. For me they are a soft chew with a bit of a hard outside. My boy loves them. No complaints here.

I'm not sure if you're looking for size of the kibble (small) or if it's good for small breeds. My toy poodle gobbles them down with no problem and his poop comes out not soft and not too hard Which is a good thing. I have no complaints. His seizures have also stopped

Today I gave my Shi Tzhu a home clipping and was shocked at how fat he got -- he's now 20lbs. How did this happen? What a dope I was. I've been giving him three dental chews a day for months now. Of course he gained four lbs or so. Will cut back to one daily.

This product is amazing.My Cavilier had a PH of 9. Surgery for a bladder full of stones. Surgery was in May. We use Ultra holistic food. Our vet said its a good food and just add liquid so we use probiotics and enzymes and add the solid gold as directed. I will sometimes give an additional dose but for the most part I follow directions. Our vet was amazed and happy with her numbers. In June she was at 5. Last time she was 6. Lola is a changed dog Our vet took the info off the container Good luck

The Cosequin DS Chewables Plus are kind of hard, I break one tablet in two and just give my dog one half because he is only 53 pounds. Otherwise, the whole chewable dosage would be a little too much. I normally shop at Dr. Foster and Smith for my dog's vitamins. You can contact your local Veterinarian and ask what kind of chewable tablet is best for your dog. Take care.

I had to "crack" them by hitting them on the counter. It reminded me of a very hard Toffee. I didn't give it to my smaller dogs for fear they would cut their gums or tongue trying to eat it. My Pitty girl had no problems and loved it!! I hope it helps.

Our dog is between 85 and 90 lbs and a pretty good chewer too. He finishes a bone in about 5 or 6 minutes typically. He loves them and they are not very harsh on his stomach at all.

I definitely saw a difference when using the MAX Phycox versus regular Phycox. We had a 12yr-old Pitbull mix and was giving her 2 regular chews a day (one at each meal). At first, she was noticeably able to move around the house much better and seemed to be in less pain. After about 2 months of use, she was still active, but it looked like she was having more trouble going up and down the stairs. When I was using the MAX chews, she started to spring back to life. She was able to get up faster and had more energy than before. I would recommend use of the MAX chews for an elderly/senior dog, or one that has significant bone and joint pain. It has a higher concentration of anti-inflammatory and antioxidants, plus added supplements for healthy heart and urinary tract function. You don't typically need to worry about those things until your dog gets up in years. Hope that helps!
