Parental Supervision Required
I bought two of these for my dogs for Christmas. They went bonkers for them and at first I thought I found the perfect toy, boy was I wrong. The concept for this toy is fantastic and somewhere between idea and reality something went askew. The middle section consisting of the the bristles is dangerous. Not even a day into chewing it was splitting apart. My girl got her lip trapped. I limited usuage time. A couple days into use the bristles were falling out and being ingested. My boy vomited pieces of the middle section along with bristles. I took the toys away. They were so sad, they really loved these bones, even if they hurt them. My boy was even forming calluses on the side of his lips! I FIGURED OUT A SOLUTION! I bought another Busy Bone, (what!!!) and I used the purple rubber sections to replace the bristle section in each of their bones. So far this is working almost brilliantly. The purple section is not as wide as the bristle section was, so the dogs are able to chew and work the rawhide much faster, but I feel better knowing they're safer and they're happy because they get to chew the bones. I'm going to write Pet Safe, as I believe any concerned consumer should do. They can easily tweek the product so it's safer for all the fur babies of the world.
