PetSafe Busy Buddy Bristle Bone – Treat-Holding Toy for Dogs – Treat Rings Included – Treats Thoroughly Mixed During Bake to Prevent Choking – Rigorously Tested Ingredients – Purple, Small

Boxer Approved!
One of my boxer girls (the fawn one in the video, 6 yrs old) hardly ever chews on things, my other boxer girl (the sealed brindle, 11 mos old) chews constantly and we’re buying new nylabone chew toys 1-2 times a month for her. I wanted something to encourage my older girl to chew more for dental health and serotonin secretion, I know the benefits of chewing far outweigh the risks for dogs so I’ve been trying all kinds of things but hooves, ears and real bones get stinky and the girls stop caring for them after a few chew sessions, and my fawn baby only sometimes has interest in chew toys of any kind. When I found this with the different textures, materials (hard plastic, nylon bristles, rubber type discs, & jerky treat) I jumped for one, and it’s a HUGE HIT!She loves it, my 11 mo old loves it, and I definitely need backups because they’re going to love this one to death in a couple weeks- I’m so happy about that!!Between this and the new snuffle mat we bought at the same time, which both my girls go crazy for, I’ve finally found enrichment toys that boost my girls health both mentally and physically and they can BOTH get so much joy from them!!! Big wins for this dog momma, I’m ecstatic and grateful we’ve hit the spot for our babies!!Would recommend and will buy again 10/10, seems durable after at least 5 chew sessions giving the girls turns of 10-15 min each, the video shows the wear from those sessions and it’s not too rough yet. Their breath smells better after each session, and my older girl who hardly ever chews sometimes gets bloody gums when she does chew, that’s gone away now that she’s chewing this toy regularly for about 2 weeks, twice a week (working our way up slowly to 3-4 times weekly).As you can see in the video, they don’t even need the jerky treat anymore, they’ve fallen in love with the toy so much! But it helps encourage them to get their mouth working in different ways around the whole bone and not just one part, so I’ll keep getting the treats for better overall coverage of the whole mouth getting cleaned. The size is a little small for my big boxer girls but not too small, they won’t swallow any parts but they are mindful chewers, not too heavy-more like medium chewers, and they actually always choose the smaller toys over the big ones so it’s perfect to pique their interest! Easy to take apart and clean, put in the treats and hand over to the dogs, they don’t unscrew the end of the bone even if it gets a little loose during a chew sesh. We wash it with water after each use and set it out to dry, never gets stinky so far. Good value and great use for the money!

Amazing !!!
Okay so I am pleasantly surprised at this treat toy !! I have two terrier mix girls and they both LOVE these. I’ve tried brushing my oldest one’s teeth and she hates it , I was blown away at how great her teeth look after chewing on this for a while, almost all the plaque is gone !!! I can hear the bristles brushing as she’s chewing and it keeps them occupied for a great while. I highly recommend this ! And for the price compared to some other dog toys you can’t beat it. I will be purchasing two more when these are torn up. Super satisfied !

Way to hard on gums
The brush that is in this toy which is supposed to clean the dog’s teeth feels like a wire brush. I couldn’t imagine anyone brushing their teeth with it. My dog wouldn’t chew on it until I took it apart, removed the brush and added another chew disc. Now she’s chewing on it. This should be made with a softer brush.

bleeding gums – dangerous, so watch your dog
Let me begin by saying a really like Busy Buddy products. Just not this one.I got “small”, and it’s way too large for my Miniature Poodle. Need to have a “wider” mouth opening. I’d say this size is better for a Border Collie.The bristles in the center piece break off….which may be a good thing bcs they are “sharp” at the ends and caused bleeding gums.Certainly, this toy is downright dangerous for a dog with dental problems and elderly dogs.I think I am going to try removing the bristle center area and see how that goes. If the dogs eat off the “rawhide” doughnuts quickly, so be it.One of my poodles loves to disassemble this toy, so it does have some play value.Just be careful to watch your pets’ gums. I would not buy this toy again. mbUPDATE: My puppy and senior dog like the chewy ‘rings.’ My warrior middle dog likes to take the toy apart, but I have to be vigilant about bleeding gums.UPDATE: I threw these all away. Too dangerous. Now, none of them will eat the rings! Guess I’ll throw these away, too……..

Es un juguete que al principio hizo batallar al perro para obtener los premios, pero una vez que aprendió los saca y se los come muy rápido, por lo que empezó a morder el juguete, el cual no es a prueba de mordidas constantes. Quedo algo maltratado el juguete pero aún sirve y cumple su función, sólo que como ya le agarró la onda el perro se acaba rápido los repuestos y hay que comprarlos constantemente.
