Nylabone Power Chew, 2-Pack

The verdict

Nylabone's Power Chew line is the hard end of the category and is honest about it — the listing calls it designed for extreme chewing styles in the brand's toughest material. That is what you want if your dog demolishes rubber, and it is exactly what you should be cautious about if your dog has ever chipped a tooth. Two bones per pack in chicken and bacon flavour, sized to about 50 pounds, made in New Jersey. Owners report it keeping dogs occupied for hours and surviving dogs that destroy everything else, with sizing being the usual complaint in both directions. The bristles that raise on the surface as it wears are intentional and help scrub teeth. Retire it when it gets short enough to fit fully in the mouth, which is the point where it stops being a chew and starts being a hazard.

Drawbacks

• Genuinely hard — the fracture trade-off applies most here
• Must be retired once short enough to fit fully in the mouth
