The 14 best Nylabone toys

Which Nylabone toys are best?

Some dogs seem to chomp their way through any toys you buy for them, but Nylabone toys are incredibly durable and a great choice for serious chewers. Classic chew toys aside, Nylabone also makes balls and other fun toys you and your dog can play with together. 

It's important to consider the needs of your dog, their size and their chewing or playing style when picking out a Nylabone. With all this in mind, you'll find plenty of great options for your canine companion. 

What are Nylabone toys? 

Nylabones are dog toys. Although Nylabone has branched out over the years, its original toys were made from a tough nylon material and shaped like bones, hence the name. The majority of Nylabones are still made from this material but come in a range of shapes — some bonelike and some not. 

Types of Nylabone toys

You can fit most Nylabone dog toys into one of three categories: chew toys, Power Play toys and puppy toys. 

• Chew toys: Most Nylabone chews are made from nylon. It's tough enough that dogs can't chew chunks off, but they can shave small fragments off, making it satisfying to chew. However, you can also find a handful of strong rubber Nylabones. 
• Power Play toys: The Power Play range contains toys like balls and flying discs that dogs play with but don't chew. 
• Puppy toys: Nylabone makes a separate range of puppy toys that are made from gentler materials suitable for little mouths. They're ideal for helping young dogs threw the teething stage and redirecting problem chewing. 

Nylabone sizes

Nylabone has its own sizing system that isn't always clear at first glance. Here's what those sizes mean: 

• Petite: These extra-small toys are perfect for toy breeds up to 15 pounds. 
• Regular: The regular size is listed as suitable for dogs up to 25 pounds. 
• Wolf: Wolf size is the equivalent of medium and is for dogs up to 35 pounds. 
• Giant: Despite the name "giant," this size isn't suitable for very big dogs — only those up to a maximum of 55 pounds.
• Souper: Souper is the equivalent of extra-large. It's suitable for dogs of 50 pounds and up. Although there's no listed weight limit, this size may not be strong enough for giant breeds. Exercise caution with very large dogs. 
• Monster: The biggest Nylabone size around, these are also listed as suitable for dogs 50 pounds and up, but they're even bigger than souper versions. They're perfect for extra-large dogs and powerful chewers.
