Petstages NewHide Alternative Dog Chew Toy, Large

My teacup poodle loves the tiny antler bone toy. The size is perfect for her because she can hold it herself without it being too overwhelming in size. I’ve tried two other bones from petstages and they were a hit as well, the mesquite flavored one and the regular one. The xs size is similar to this one but unlike those, this one seems to hold up a bit better and noticed how great it is for her to chew on as she still has at least one baby tooth that never came out (she is a year and 3+ months now, so I’m still hoping it could come out if she chews hard enough)! I was worried that she wouldn’t like this because I’ve gotten her nylabones before and none were of interest. This bone is a great choice for teacups. My only negative is that like the other ones I purchased by the same brand, they started out at under $3, and when I went to purchase a new one it had went up twice + the cost (in under 2 months). That’s why I went a the diff flavor as it was under $4, vs $7. This one was priced reasonably at under $4, but now it’s no longer available and when I did see it pop up for a moment it went up in price by nearly double what I paid which was around $3.25, now at 6.99. The other annoying thing is that these aren’t intended to last for a long period of time so it’s frustrating to find something that works and then look for it (I actually bought it on regular price for 3 something but subscribed and saved for next order, and it’s now not available. I considered going to the small size but I’ve gotten her benebones and one she liked but it was the tiny size but still a lot for her to hold and handle. I wish Amazon would not price gauge and keep their products in stock, esp when they are included for subscribe and save only to be canceled. I prefer this one over the other petstages ones since it is for severe chewers, and she has sharp teeth so it serves her well. If you can find it at a good price and or in stock, don’t hesitate!

Had been using another Petstages brand chew stick (the white with orange stripes one) but couldn't find it to purchase again. Being familiar with the brand, I decided to try this one. Its holding up well and our dog seems to enjoy it. Chews on it after eating his food. Doesn't seem to bother his digestive system.Overall, a good replacement for the previous one we used to get. Will buy it again when needed.

My dog loves the Chick-a-bone alternative chew bone. It's not too hard and it flakes off so it makes a mess but what she doesn't swallow vacuums up easily, and luckily it is easily passed through. However, I bought the large size in November 2022 for $7 and now the large isn't even available, but when it is it's $20+!!! That's a 200% increase!!! No way I am buying the large when I see it in stock. Why the steep markup? Supply issues? At that price I have to buy the medium size now which is around $12 each, but luckily it's still a good size for her. Would give it 5 stars if it wasn't for the rip off.

I have found this bone in random stores before but when it came time for a new one, Amazon saved the day! This is my dog's favorite possession. When he first gets a new one, he immediately runs to hide it somewhere, and will move its location multiple times in the first few weeks. When he looses interest in that, he will just carry it around and drop it at my feet for months, but never chews it. Randomly, once he decides to chew it, he becomes obsessed again and chews it down to a nub, at which time I need to toss it for safety reasons. Finding this on Amazon with 1 day delivery meant that my dog was only without his favorite toy for 24 hours. He is currently upstairs trying to bury it as I write this!

I have 4 idiot dogs. Three of them are terrible teenage girls who fight with each other constantly over toys food affection. This is their favorite toy. Naturally they fight over that too. It’s made of hard rubber so it lasts for a long while. Meaning a couple of days. But in puppy world that’s a lifetime🐶 Naturally they work very hard to chew and eat it. But hey, it’s not my flowerbeds for once.

But these aren't near the quality that they once were. I bought one for my rescued dog for Xmas from Petsmart in Dec of '21. I was throughly impressed with it. I liked the fact that it wasn't hard and rough which was better for his teeth.Not only did he LOVE it but it seemed to withstand his chewing (pit bull). He showed no interest in a Kong, which was my usual go-to with previous puppers. It lasted a good 9 months, to my awe and delight. When it was time to replace, I found them on Amazon so I ordered another. That one lasted less than 2 months before he got it down so small that I feared he'd choke on it. I ordered one more, thinking that maybe that other was a fluke or something, plus the price had dropped on it. Well, this one has lasted all of 3 weeks. So I guess it wasn't a fluke. He has mamaged to chew off big hunks off this latest one too. I don't know if this is a quality control issue or if the difference is the first one was from Petsmart and the other two came from Amazon. I'm tempted to buy one more from Petsmart just to see. If he didn't love this toy so much, I wouldn't bother and just find him an alternative.If you buy this, watch your puppers closely. The big chunks are a choking hazard.

MY DOG LOVES THIS DOG TOY! SHE LIKES TO CHEW ON IT AND CARRY IT AROUND. ONLY GAVE 4 STARS FOR DURABILITY AND LONGEVITY DUE TO JUST RECEIVING APPROX 2 WEEKS AGO AND ITS ABOUT 1/8 GONE. SHE LIKES TO EAT AND DESTROY TOYS, SO I HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WITH CERTAIN ONES DUE TO CHOKING HAZARDS.

It’s coming apart in little crumbs that he is mostly dropping where he is.He is 8 month old lab mix that shreds everything to bits of string, fabric, rope or clouds of fluff.This is holding up great for him. Hopefully he won’t break his teeth on it.
