Looking For A More Satisfying Chew? Inside Nylabone's New Chew Toy Collection Made with Real Meat

This article was created in sponsorship with Nylabone, which helps make content like this possible.

Chewing is simply part of being a dog. Whether it’s a young puppy trying out those pointy, new teeth on the corner of the couch, a teenage pooch chewing on shoes to relieve boredom, or an older dog deciding their toys just aren’t cutting it anymore, dogs of all shapes and sizes like to chew. 

When your dog chews the right things, it helps stimulate their brain, relieves anxiety, and can even support dental health. 

But if you’re struggling to find the “right things” that your dog actually enjoys chewing, you aren’t alone. With their new range of chew toys made with real meat, Nylabone might have the solution.

The Problem with Most Dog Chews

Most appropriate chew options fall into one of two categories, each with its own distinctive downsides.

The first category is chews that dogs love to chew! The mouth-watering, often very stinky, great-tasting chews like bully sticks, dried tendons, and smoked bones. These chews appeal to your dog’s instinct toward chewing on yummy things. The downside? They usually don’t last very long. And the few that do, like smoked bones, can be dangerous, with brittle shards that can get stuck in your dog’s throat.

The second category of chews is the long-lasting variety. These are the traditional Nylabone chews, the rubber toys, and the otherwise less-destructible options. These are a great choice for dogs who love to chew for the sake of chewing. But for pups who want more from their chewing experience, these can be boring, leading to problematic chewing of things they find more enticing.

What Makes Nylabone’s New Collection Different

Nylabone’s new collection of chew toys combines the best of both worlds. These new chews are super long-lasting, as you would expect from Nylabone, but they’re also super tasty.

Infused with Real Flavors That Dogs Love

Nylabone’s new chew toys are made with real bacon, bison, venison, chicken, and beef. These tasty flavors appeal to a dog’s natural instinct to seek out real meat.

For dogs who like to chew but find typical chew toys unsatisfying, these toys add a whole new dimension. Not only do they feel good to chew, but they also taste amazing (at least, if you’re a dog).

Long-Lasting

Unlike classic tasty chews, these Nylabone chew toys last! Like many Nylabone products, they’re made with tough, long-lasting material designed to challenge dogs with strong chewing styles.

This means that dogs get a satisfying chewing experience with all the yummy flavors, while pet parents get the durability they expect from Nylabone. 

Supports Dental Health

These new Nylabone toys are a great way to keep your problematic chewer focused on things that are meant to be chewed on. Not only does this save your furniture and shoes, but it provides a healthy outlet for boredom and anxiety with the added benefit of supporting dental health.

The chewing action helps keep teeth clean by preventing plaque and tartar buildup. They're not a replacement for brushing, but they can be a valuable – and enjoyable – way to support your dog’s dental health. 

Proudly Made In the USA

Like most trusted Nylabone products, this new collection is proudly made in the USA, manufactured in their New Jersey facility in Neptune City.

Spoilt For Choice

Nylabone has something for every dog.

A Variety of Flavors

The new collection offers several savory flavor combinations made withreal meat ingredients, giving dogs a variety of enticing options. Depending on the toy, dogs can enjoy the taste of real chicken, bacon, beef, bison, and venison.

With familiar favorites alongside more unique proteins, the collection gives pet parents options to match their dog's individual preferences and keep chewing time interesting. 

A Variety of Shapes 

This new collection comes in four distinct and familiar shapes, each designed to offer a different chewing experience.

  • The Original Bone, made with real chicken, provides a classic shape that appeals to dogs' natural chewing instincts. 

  • The Wishbone, made with real bacon, features an easy-to-hold design with multiple chewing ends.

  • The Femur, made with real bison and venison, offers a bone-inspired alternative to real femurs without the grease or splintering concerns.

  • The Textured Ring, made with real beef and chicken, features ridges and nubs that provide added texture to do even more to help support dental health.

Availability

This entire new Nylabone collection—all shapes and associated flavors—is available from PetSmart. Check out the options online and in stores.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Nylabone Strong Chew toys edible?

No. Although this collection includes chew toys made with real chicken, bacon, beef, bison, and venison, they are durable toys, not edible chews or treats. They're designed to provide long-lasting chewing entertainment and encourage healthy, non-destructive chewing habits. 

What makes this Nylabone collection different from other Nylabone chew toys?

The biggest difference is what goes into the toys. The new collection features chew toys made with real chicken, bacon, beef, bison, and venison, depending on the variety. These flavors make the toys especially appealing to dogs, encouraging them to chew.

Can Nylabone chew toys help with destructive chewing?

Absolutely!

Chewing is a natural canine behavior, and redirecting a natural behavior will always be more successful than trying to stop it completely. By providing dogs with an appropriate and rewarding outlet for their natural urge to chew, these toys from Nylabone can help redirect that chewing toward something they're actually supposed to sink their teeth into. 

The natural, real meat flavors make Nylabone’s new range even more appealing, encouraging healthy, non-destructive chewing and making these toys particularly useful for dogs prone to chewing household items.
