DANGEROUS! DO NOT PURCHASE!
We have a 9-month-old Boston Terrier, who is 16lbs and an aggressive chewer. We initially bought her the “Petstages Ruffwood Wooden Dog Chew Toy” in the Original Flavor, which she absolutely loves, and after several months of chewing, the bone is still completely in tact.
Naturally, when we saw this ”Petstages Dogwood Durable Real Wood Dog Chew Toy” in the Mesquite Flavor, we thought it’d be a homerun, especially with the exciting new flavor. It smelled like actual mesquite and our dog absolutely LOVED it (almost to the point of neglecting her original flavored ruffwood bone). BUT, after one week of chewing this bone and it being more than halfway chewed down in that small time frame, we had to take this away from her and throw it in the garbage. Not only was the bone shredding into small pieces that could then be seen in her feces, it was also breaking off into large chunks that we would have to scoop out of her mouth before swallowing. If she wasn’t supervised when chewing this bone, then who knows what swallowing those large chunks could have done to her! We also were NOT thrilled to see her feces COVERED in pieces of this bone.
We highly discourage anyone from buying this bone. Instead, opt for the “Petstages Ruffwood Wooden Dog Chew Toy”. The link for same is below.
