RE: Nylabones and doggie treats

Is it ok to leave a pup in a crate with the nylabone unsupervised?  Our dogs
never had them and so I just don't know how they break down.  Thanks!  Karin

These are fine, they are regular Nylabone "flavored" so to speak.  Also
with the original Nylabone you can boil them in chicken beef  or vegetable
broth to add flavor.  I learned this from a friend who runs a boarding
kennel.  She doesn't like to give a dog something another had been chewing
on but likes to provide for her "guests", so she boils them between uses.
