Senior dog likes it. Great for the price, and even better for his teeth.
The Arm & Hammer Nubbies T-Bone Dental Dog Chew is basically my dog’s new best friend. I have a 20-pound, 12-year-old Cockerpoo mutt, and even though we brush his teeth every day, he still has tartar. Since he’s too old to go under anesthesia for a professional cleaning, I wanted something to supplement our daily brushing and help keep his teeth in better shape. One whiff of the peanut butter flavor and he was hooked… and unlike most toys that meet their tragic end in under ten minutes, this one is still going strong and durable. It has no smell, at least to me. The durable nylon can take a serious beating from even the most determined chewer, and those little textured nubs aren’t just for looks—they actually help scrub teeth and massage gums while my dog thinks he’s just having the time of his life. It keeps him busy, makes his breath less questionable, and gives me a little peace and quiet. Plaque removal, entertainment, and a toy that doesn’t end up in the trash on day one? That’s what I call a win-win… or maybe a win-win-woof. Overall, it did take him a few throws and me getting excited, playing chase with it, to get him interested. But, that was a total of five minutes and he fell in love. I understand the design of this toy. Our dog is able to grip the bottom part and chew on the top, keeping it stable, but I did do a double-take at the design…if you know what I mean. Lastly, be careful where you throw and exercise safety. This thing has some weight to it. It could easily damage and break a window if you don’t aim correctly. I’m giving it five stars because it’s my picky dog likes it and treats it like a toy, not realizing it’s for his own good! Read more
