Nylabone Galileo Bone


As a puppy, Louie really liked the Nylabone puppy pack; however, since he chewed through them so fast, I had to keep a few packs on hand, which got to be pretty expensive. During a trip to Petsmart awhile back, an employee asked me if I needed help finding anything so I tested her knowledge on "heavy chewer" puppy products. She recommended the usual suspects, but after I told her that he demolished those, she pointed out a newer product made by Nylabone. According to Petsmart website it is "molded from virgin DuPont nylon, they are slowly cooled to toughen and reduce brittleness." I bought the "Wolf" bone for $11.99 and Louie has had it for about 6 months now. Aside from the teeth marks, there is no damage to it. He really likes it too because of the challenge to 'destroy' it; it's like a neverending bone for him.


It is incredibly hard so it is not recommended that you toss it to your dog as it could damage their teeth and don't use it a fetch toy as you'll either injure someone or cause property damage! It can be washed with soap and water and sterilized by boiling it without causing any damage to the product. Nylabone products are made in the USA, which is a HUGE plus for me. It comes in 3 different sizes and range from $8.99 - $20.99.

Welcome!


Welcome to my blog!

I hope that the information provided here is not only useful but also inspiring and educational. The true inspiration behind this blog is my dog, Louie. He is an Olde English Bulldogge and has a love for destroying 'industructible' toys. This blog will document our trials of different dog toys, treats and other accessories. As we test all different brands and types of toys, I will tell you the brand name, where you can purchase it, the price and provide a picture (when applicable).

I feel the need to do this so that other dog owners with strong jawed and heavy chewing dogs will know which types of toys are worth spending money on and which to pass up. I encourage all followers to contribute their own opinions and experiences. I am open to suggestions if there is a brand or toy that you feel we should try or that you have had success with and even those which you recommend not to test.

I am confident that with your support, we will get dog toy makers to produce high quality products which are durable, safe and economical. Thank you for your interest and support in this blog.

Cheers!
