Nylabones: Lily is probably one of the few dogs that nylabones actually work well for. I don’t give her the ones meant for strong chewers, because I am afraid they will hurt her teeth. I give her the “dental bones” with ridges that say “for moderate chewers.” She chews off some of the ridges, but it says on the package that anything smaller than a grain of rice, which these are, will pass right through. After a few months she chews enough pegs off that I replace it. I NEVER give her her bone unsupervised. I think that if your dog is not a heavy chewer, but does like to chew, and you supervise carefully then the not as hard chews could be a good option.
Bully Sticks: I gave these ones to a foster dog. The dog loved them, but they smelled AWFUL. There are odor-free ones you can buy though. I have heard of some issues of contamination, not sure if that is just the ones made in China. I would wait for someone else on the form to give an opinion before deciding if these, or the Nylabones, are right for your dog.
