Nylabones have a reputation for breaking puppy teeth. Happened to my young pup, and when I took him to my vet the first question she asked was whether I had given him a nylabone. Apparently she has only seen the problem happen to young pups with these. Buyer beware!

They're bad for older dogs' teeth too.
And that's neglecting the fact that they pose choking hazards/digestive issues for all dogs in the way they break apart.
This exact bone broke both of my dogs back molars. Due to the tail design it makes it hard for the dog to gnaw so instead they bite straight down into the tail on their back teeth. This $3 neat toy cost me nearly $400 for two visits to the vet with teeth cleanings and my poor pupper had to go under twice.
He absolutely shattered his back molars in half- luckily avoiding the root, but there were pieces of teeth caught in his gums and they were bleeding profusely for a while.
6-7 year old rat terrier dachshund mix so not a puppy or an older dog- these things are just dangerous to dog's teeth.
In a morbidly funny add to this story- When i came into the vet office and explained that my dog had cracked his teeth the vet looked at me and asked "nylabone?" I was shell shocked that she immediately knew... made me wonder how many dogs have experienced this.

Very surprised they haven't been boycotted yet.
