Nylabone Dog Chew Toys

Nylabone dog chew toys were first sold in 1955. The product was a hard, nylon, bone-shaped toy for a dog to work over with his teeth. Nylabone's original concept of a chew toy has survived all of these years. But in a lot of cases, the shapes, sizes, flavors and colors of these chew toys have changed. Nylabone's chew toys have been recommended by veterinarians, and there is a style or size Nylabone for every kind of dog out there.

Dogs have a natural drive to chew things. This is how they figure out the world around them. Puppies are also notorious for this behavior. Puppies are born with no teeth. Their teeth don't start coming in until they are somewhere around 6 or 8 weeks of age. Puppies are also curious about how things fit into their mouths and whether or not it is comestible. But when a puppy is breaking in his new teeth, everything around him gets a test chew.

Just like human babies, when a puppy's teeth are growing in there is a level of discomfort and irritation as the teeth break the gums. Chewing on things makes for a bit of relief. This is one of the reasons why Nylabone's products are so useful. Be sure to always pay attention to your dog whenever he is playing with a chew toy.

Nylabone dog chew toys aren't just for puppies though. Somewhere between three and seven months of age, a puppy's baby teeth fall out and the adult teeth start growing in. By the time a puppy is near 8 months, he should have a full set of teeth. The standard number of adult teeth that your dog will have is 42, sometimes more (spaniels and greyhounds tend to have more) sometimes less (Doberman Pinshers can have less). Some also say that the larger the dog, the faster you will see the teeth grow in! But the fact that the dog is now an adult doesn't change his drive to chew on things!

Nylabone makes different sized, and different flavored chew toys that will satisfy the most industrious of doggie chewers. Not only that, but Nylabone products promote good canine dental hygiene, enhance mental fitness, and encourage positive behavior. Whether at home, or traveling, your pet dog will have a lot of fun breaking in a new Nylabone chew toy.  It doesn't matter what kind of dog you have, his age or his size, there is a Nylabone out there made especially for him!
