Nylabone Puppy Chew Toy Starter Kit - Small

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
