PetSafe Busy Buddy Bristle Bone - Chew Toy for Dogs - Boredom Relief & Dental Care - Durable Nylon Build with Rubber Nubs - Includes Treat Ring Refills - Dishwasher Safe Design

The media could not be loaded. 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!

The media could not be loaded. 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 !

My pug is a serious chewer but also picky about the type of chew toy and also prone to weight gain. This one works great because it gives him something to actually eat (his goal) but also keeps him busy and brushes his teeth (my goals). The only drawback is that he did manage to chew off a small chunk of rubber.

Our vet recommended this and it worked to remove old plaque right away. Kinda amazing. Dog clearly would sell his left leg for it too.Years ago a pet store owner pointed out the popular dental colored chew treats came out the same color they went in..so we discontinued using them. Plaque built up. Years later this bone removed the black from his teeth.

We originally bought the first version of the bristle bone a few years ago. Our dogs loved it and our vet was surprised at how clean their teeth are. They wore out the first ones so we just bought the new version which is even greater. I've purchased them as gifts for people getting puppies and recommending them to many.We call the bones the dog's "chewy bones" and that's what they have for lunch since their regular meals are only two times a day. We give them to the girls when we have lunch so it keeps them busy and happy while we eat. They both take the bones to their crates and gnaw on them for a long time.

At first I thought this was an amazing teether toy for our German Shepherd pup. I bought the triple flavor pack of rings to go in it and was very excited about it.Unfortunately, he had zero interest in the bacon flavor, was mildly interested in the turkey dinner flavor, and was somewhat intregued by the peanut butter flavor. It wasn't enough for him to be interested in the bone. I started putting two flavor rings on each end. It was enough to get his attention for a short span, but ultimately the treats weren't enough to bribe him to play with the bone.The bone was knocked under the couch - treats still intact - and was lost for a few months, until I found it. I again tried to see if he would have any interest in it now that he was older and VERY food motivated. Again, nothing. He will literally lay next to it without so much as sniffing it.I like the bone still. I think it's a great concept. But you need the specific treat rings for it to work, and unfortunately my dog just doesn't like any of the treats.

The vet recommended this toy for a pit mix foster we had for a few months. She loved it so much, we made sure it went with her to her new home.When we got a puppy recently, I ordered this again. He loves it! It’s perfect for teething pups! Highly recommend!

Puppy loves this, keeps her interested for ages and makes her work for he treat while good for her teeth

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.

Yes good dog toy my dogs are happy with it

The busy buddy dental chew isamazing he lovesi

My dog really enjoyed this toy however since purchasing it I have yet to be able to find the size B rings that are used with it. Size A and C refills seem readily available but no luck with "B". I would recommend ensuring you have access to the appropriate sized refills before purchasing.
