FAB Alternative to Nylabones!

catlou

Been meaning to post about these for ages!

Marrow bone dog chews. I bought one for my dog who likes Nylabones but will take it or leave it with them, he absolutely loves the marrow bone even as much as a real bone once you give him it he never wants to put it down! :eek:
It's made from the same type of stuff as the hard durable Nylabones but has a beef jerky sort of "paste" running through the middle. Smells really nice even to me and is really great to get out quick when I want to distract him from something, he even ignores the doorbell when chewing it!

They are a bit cheaper than nylabones too!

ps. Good for cleaning their teach while chewing as well!

My dog has one of those too. She loves it!

Are they ok for power chewers, do you know? I'm guessing they should be, if they're similar to nylabones, but they seem cheap by comparison which is why I'm not sure.

Yes they are I have just dug out my "spare one" and it says for strong chewers on the packaging.

I would say it's the same type of material that the hard nylabones for strong chewers are made of.

They are a lot cheaper on Vetuk than other websites.

Extra large or jumbo for the average bull terrier? (I think I bought a huge kong once and she could barely get it in her gob!)

I would say Extra Large. I've seen the jumbo ones and they are HUGE, my doglet has a large one which is a little on the small side.

My dog has had the medium and large ones, I would say they are about the same size as the nylabone equivalent - BUT I haven't seen the bigger ones to comment.

The large one is appx. 13 x 4cm at the widest parts!
