Nylabone puppy chews
Nylabone is a long-established chew toy brand, and its puppy range is built specifically for teething — softer than the brand's adult chews, sized for smaller mouths, and designed to give a puppy something safe to gnaw on while their adult teeth come through. We stock a selection from the puppy range as one of the chew toy options on our shelves.
What the puppy range is for
A teething puppy chews because it genuinely helps, easing the discomfort of adult teeth coming through and giving them an outlet that is not your furniture, your fingers, or the skirting board. Nylabone's puppy chews are made softer than the brand's adult range, which is built for the much stronger bite of a grown dog, so a puppy can get a satisfying chew without the toy being harder than their developing teeth can comfortably manage.
Sizing matters more with a chew toy than owners sometimes expect. A chew that is too small for even a young puppy is a choking risk, and one built for an adult dog's bite can be too tough on teething gums, so checking the size and stage guidance on the pack against your puppy's current size is worth doing before buying rather than after.
What to check before giving one
Supervise a puppy with any chew toy the first few times, and keep an eye on wear over time — a chew that has been gnawed down to small, easily swallowed pieces should be replaced rather than left in the toy box. This applies to any chew toy, not just this brand, and it is the main safety habit worth building early.
As your puppy grows and their adult teeth come in, they will typically move on to a tougher chew built for a stronger bite. Matching the chew to your puppy's current stage, rather than sticking with the same toy for a year, keeps it doing the job it is meant for.

Common questions
- At what age can a puppy start using a Nylabone chew?
- Puppy-specific chews are generally suitable once a puppy is teething, which is typically from a few months old, but always check the age and size guidance on the specific product, since this varies between items in the range.
- How do I know when to replace a puppy's chew toy?
- Check it regularly for wear. Once a chew has been gnawed down to small pieces, has sharp edges, or is coming apart, it should be replaced rather than left in use, regardless of how new it originally was.
- Should I supervise my puppy with a chew toy?
- Yes, particularly the first few times with any new toy. This lets you see how your puppy chews it and catch any sign of a piece breaking off before it becomes a problem.
- Do I need a different chew once my puppy's adult teeth come in?
- Generally yes. Puppy chews are made softer for teething gums, and a fully grown dog with adult teeth usually needs a tougher chew built for a stronger bite, so it is worth moving up the range as your puppy grows.
