Nylabone Power Chew XL

Date of Review: 1/26/2020 We have five power chewers in our home. We love Nylabones. We have this specific chew in all the flavors. I thought the pink one would be nice, so I got five of them - one for each dog. However, we immediately noticed that this one feels different. It's hard to explain, but it felt more "plasticky" than the others that look exactly alike. We compared them to the other flavored one, and even tapped them on the floor. This one sounds different, so it might be made of something different. It just doesn't feel as rubbery. Then we noticed that on one, some of the nubs are missing. It doesn't look as if they are missing due to a manufacturing issu, but more as if the nubs broken off as it looks like a recent break and not a defection. When we passed our fingers across this area, it felt a little bit sharp. Still, we're not sure what the problem is. However, I did not see any broken off nubs in the packaging, but that's not to say it didn't happen. We are watching the dogs very carefully this morning, as they enjoy these toys. However, we also noticed than when banging against their teeth, the sound effects may be slightly different. Until we're sure these toys are a hazard, as compared to the othes that look exactly alike but are different colors/flavors and appear to be made of a slightly different product, we are not leaving the dogs alone with these for even a second. They might be fine, but we don't know for sure. Because of the broken nubs and our other doubts, for now, we are rating this a three.
