Petstages Orka Dental Links Dog Chew Toy

What a winner this toy was during my little man's puppy teething stage. High quality, durability, and price make this toy easily affordable and for a great purpose. This was an instant hit (you can give directly to your dog or if the teething/chewing gets bad, place in the freezer then give when chilled). The toy does not have an odor when opening the package, dogs can see blue (Great COLOR) which is another reason we chose this product to keep him entertained. It kept my little boy entertained, which a bonus of the toy not squeaking incessantly. I mean, how can you deny this cute face a great toy!

Bought this for my golden retriever, it honestly lasted a while. The center one gave out but he’d use it like dental floss so that’s no surprise😭 he loves to rip on his toys. Honestly pretty durable especially for the price tag.

Toy is not indestructible. LOL

Only reason I took away a star: I wish it didn't have the green rubber part on the rope ring, we ended up having to cut it off because my puppy was trying to eat it. The toy functions perfectly well without it!My boy is quite a chewer, every other rubber toy we've gotten him he's been able to destroy/try to eat in about 5 minutes. Those puppy needle teeth are no joke lol but this has been AMAZING since we cut off the green part. The blue rings are soft enough for his little baby teeth, but strong enough to not get all cut up or break into tiny pieces. Awesome value, great for playing tug, and perfect for my teething baby boy.

The first time I bought this, it was great. My puppy loved it and chewed on it often, bringing hours of entertainment and peaceful household time. Then it disappeared so I bought another one. This time, it lasted all of 10 minutes before my puppy chewed through the rope. I really can't buy it again as it's not worth the amount of time it occupied my pup.

I like the quality and the sturdiness my puppy loves this toy

Favorite toy for my clients King Charles! He has a giant pile of toys. Mostly stuffies from Bark Box but this is hands down the best. After a year I got him a second one. Only con is he can instantly chew through the rope so that part has to be tossed.

Update 1/6/16 - I have requested that Amazon change the misleading photo, they said they would (last year) - just wanted to make note that at the time of this update, this is still NOT the bone you will receive. A picture of the new style can be found here (if it works) http://www.amazon.com/PetStages-Mini-Orka-Bone-Dog/dp/B006P46JPK/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1452136332&sr=8-8&keywords=mini+orkaUpdate 2/12/15 - Sadly Orka has recently changed the design of this product so it is much thicker and tougher. The different textures on the thinner edges of the bones, that Baxter liked so much, are now focused on the middle (much thicker part) where he did not chew even on the older version. He won't even touch this bone. This was his favorite toy, we are so sad that it has been changed.Original review: (5 stars)This was one of my dog's first toys as a puppy. It is one of the only toys that he has never gotten tired of. He is an avid chewer, but not a really strong chewer, so it is perfect for him for hours at a time.Description:It is a fairly soft, flexible rubber type of material. Each part of the bone has a different raised texture to it. There are three tassels made of colorful canvas. Each is sewn down the center and tied in a fairly loose knot through a hole in one end of the bone.Pros:-It is very chewy for him because it is so flexible, but still makes him feel like he can get a good grip with his teeth. Some of the other rubber type bones we have tried, his teeth just squeak/slide right off and he doesn't like even trying to chew on them.-For a 7 lb dog, this is the perfect size and weight for him. He can carry it around and flip it up to hold between his paws and comfortably chew on it in a laying down position.-We have had each last for several months of regular chewing.-He actually likes to chew and suck on (particularly when he was teething) the canvas ties.Cons:-They can chew pieces of the bone off and possibly swallow them. My boy always spits the pieces out and once I see that he is chewing it apart, it goes in the trash. Because of how soft it is, I do not think it would cause a problem, but it *could*.-He can chew the canvas ties apart and/or untie them and has swallowed a couple. He mostly chewed them up when he was teething and now that he is not, he never pays any attention to the ties on the bone except to use them to carry around. But when he was a puppy, I started untying them so he wouldn't chew them apart or off and eat them.-The dye used on the canvas will fade as they are chewing on it.
