[nagdu] Warning about Nylabone

[Angie Matney]

Hi,

I haven't seen the article either. And until I do...well, for eight plus
years, my dogs have been enjoying nylabones. Both of my schools have
recommended them as excellent chewing alternatives. I would need to see some
solid evidence that there are problems before taking away the nylabones.

Best,

Angie

I had thought that all nylabones weren't created equal.  I get my 
dog a nylabone, but it is suppose to be eaten.  I think it is 
called healthy (something)  Sorry, can't remember, for I don't 
have a pacage here at this time.  Did the article say all types 
of nylabones, for there are several.  Come to think of it, I 
don't remember seeing the article posted.  Did I just miss that?  
Can someone be so kind as to direct me to it?  Thanks,

Sam and Abby
