FAQs

What age is this Nylabone kit suitable for?

This kit is ideal for puppies with their first set of teeth. The softer chews are perfect for teething relief, and the kit includes a harder chew for when adult teeth start to emerge, typically around 4-6 months of age.

Are the chew toys safe if my puppy swallows small pieces?

Yes, Nylabone Puppy Chews are engineered not to splinter. Any tiny, rice-grain sized pieces that may be ingested are designed to pass through your puppy's digestive system safely. However, if large pieces are consumed, contact your veterinarian.

How often should I replace the chew toys?

You should regularly inspect the chew toys for wear. Replace them when they become too small for your puppy to chew safely, or if they show signs of significant damage that could pose a hazard. A good guideline is if the toy is small enough to fit entirely in your puppy's mouth.

What flavor are the chew toys?

The chew toys in this kit are infused with a delicious chicken flavor throughout the material, which helps to keep your puppy engaged for longer.

Is this kit suitable for all puppy sizes?

No, this specific kit is ideal for small dogs weighing up to 11kg. For larger puppies, Nylabone offers other products designed for their size and chewing strength.

Can I wash these chew toys?

Yes, you can clean the Nylabone chew toys with warm water and a mild, pet-safe soap, rinsing them thoroughly afterward. A damp cloth can also be used for simple cleaning.

My puppy doesn't seem to like the toys, what should I do?

Try different introduction methods, such as engaging your puppy in play with the toy or applying a small amount of dog-safe treat paste to pique their interest. Puppies can be particular, and sometimes rotating between the different toys in the kit can help find one they prefer.

Troubleshooting

My puppy isn't interested in the chew toy.

Puppies have preferences! Try introducing the toy during active playtime or when they are naturally inclined to chew. You can also try gently rubbing a small amount of dog-safe peanut butter or a favorite treat paste on the toy to encourage initial interest. Ensure they are not too full or sleepy. Sometimes rotating between the different textures in the kit can help.

The chew toy seems to be wearing down too quickly.

These toys are designed for puppies with baby teeth, which are softer than adult teeth. While durable, the rate of wear depends on your puppy's individual chewing style and intensity. Regularly inspect the toy; if significant pieces are being removed rapidly, your puppy might be an exceptionally strong chewer for their age. Consider introducing the harder 'Extreme Chew' from the kit if adult teeth are coming in, or supervising chewing more closely. Ensure the toy is still an appropriate size.

My puppy is still chewing on furniture or other inappropriate items.

Consistency is key for training. When your puppy attempts to chew on an inappropriate item, immediately redirect them to their Nylabone chew toy with a firm 'no' and then praise when they chew the Nylabone. Ensure the chew toys are always readily available and appealing. Also, ensure your puppy is getting enough exercise and mental stimulation to prevent boredom-induced destructive chewing.

I'm concerned about my puppy ingesting pieces of the toy.

The Nylabone Puppy Chews are designed not to splinter. Any small pieces that may be bitten off are intended to be no larger than a grain of rice and are designed to pass safely if swallowed. However, if you notice large chunks being chewed off, or if your puppy tries to consume the toy, replace it immediately and consult with your veterinarian. Always monitor your puppy during chewing sessions, especially when they are young.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Teaches good chewing habits early on.
  • Effectively relieves teething discomfort for puppies.
  • Aids in dental hygiene by cleaning teeth and preventing tartar.
  • Flavor is infused throughout, ensuring long-lasting appeal.
  • Includes a transition chew for when adult teeth emerge.
  • Safe design minimizes splintering and choking hazards.
  • Durable enough for puppy chewing, yet gentle on their mouths.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for puppies, not suitable for adult dogs.
  • Sized specifically for small dogs up to 11kg, not for larger breeds.
  • Some puppies may lose interest if they prefer different textures or flavors.
  • Not intended for consumption; requires replacement once significantly worn.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

There is no complex setup required for the Nylabone Puppy Chew Toy Starter Kit. Simply remove the toys from their packaging and present them to your puppy. It's often beneficial to introduce one toy at a time to gauge your puppy's preference.

Compatibility

  • Puppy Stage: This kit is ideal for puppies who are in their primary teething stage and still have their first set of teeth. The softer chews are gentle on developing mouths.
  • Weight Limit: Designed for small dogs weighing up to 11kg.
  • Adult Teeth Transition: The included Extreme Chew is suitable for puppies whose adult teeth are starting to come in, offering a harder chewing experience.

Care & Maintenance

  1. Regular Inspection: Always inspect the chew toys regularly for wear and tear. While designed to be durable, continuous chewing will eventually wear them down.
  2. Replacement: Replace the chew toy when it becomes too small for your puppy to comfortably hold or chew, or if it shows signs of excessive damage or large pieces breaking off. A good rule of thumb is to replace it if it's small enough to fit entirely in your puppy's mouth.
  3. Cleaning: The toys can be cleaned with warm water and a mild, pet-safe soap if needed, then rinsed thoroughly and air-dried. A damp cloth can also be used for quick cleaning.
  4. Supervision: Although designed for safety, supervise your puppy with new toys, especially if they are an aggressive chewer, to ensure they use the product appropriately and safely. This allows you to monitor their chewing habits and the toy's wear.
