Using this Nylabone chew toy is super easy. Just give it to your dog and let them start chewing. You can twist the ends to create different shapes and keep your dog interested. Remember, this toy is for dogs up to 50 pounds, so make sure your dog fits this size range. If your dog is a very aggressive chewer, keep an eye on the toy to make sure it doesn't break into small pieces that could be a choking hazard. To clean the toy, simply wash it with warm, soapy water and let it dry thoroughly. Store it in a dry place when not in use to keep it in good condition. With proper use and care, this toy will provide your dog with lots of fun and dental benefits.
