Hi Molly – All Nylabone Edible chews contain meat-based flavoring. Most Nylabone Non-Edible chews contain a small amount of chicken or other meat-based powder. All “Original” flavor products (including Galileo®, Big Chews, Prince & Princess bone & wishbone) contain a small amount of chicken meal or powder. "Chicken" and "Liver" lines have extra flavor, meal or meat-based powder added.
The following products do not contain meat or meat-based protein of any kind:
For Strong Chewers: Dura Chew® Bacon flavor, Double Action® Chews (including Prince & Princess Double Action Chews), Double Action® Dental Chews, Bar-B-Chew® T-Bone
For Moderate Chewers: Bar-B-Chew™ Cob Bone and Rib Rack
Interactive Toys (all unflavored): FRISBEE® flying discs, Flexi Chew® Tug Toys, all Rhino® rubber products (vanilla scent) and Dura™ Toys.
Most of these products are flavored with a vegetarian (plant-derived) natural flavoring that does not contain any meat protein. Similar to "tofurkey" and "veggie-burgers," they have the meat flavor without the meat. Double Action® Chews are unflavored, but contain a bacon aromatic in the ends to make them more attractive. All of our non-edible chews that say “bacon flavor” on the front of the package contain no meat-based flavoring.
weird. the bacon bones are meat-free! :) my girls love nylabones too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great response! So helpful, I can't believe someone actually took the time to type that all out for you. Wow. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure that Elli would enjoy one of these, but maybe? How would I ever know?
How awesome of you to feature this -- now I don't have to stand around a store wondering which ones I can buy!
i forgot this about those! sienna and ellie could really use a treat so i'll stock up on these! thanks for the reminder. :-)
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't even have thought to check things like this, some things even though obvious just pass me buy!
ReplyDeleteI know my old dog was a chewer...he used to get through the "chew" proof toys in about 5 seconds. I think dog toy companies need to spend more time thinking about the design of their products sometimes. lol
It is a bit like crisps...the meat flavoured ones are often vegan but then salt and vinegar aren't!!! lol
So great to know. I am glad for their detailed and thoughtful response.
ReplyDeleteSo all the non-edible chews are vegan? Do you buy these at Petsmart?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info! :) So funny that the bacon ones are actually vegan. Who would've guessed?!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting! My dogs love nylabones; I'm glad I've not bought them any non-vegan ones.
ReplyDeleteHey everyone!
ReplyDeleteI found it funny that the bacon ones are vegan, too. We're going to be picking up a few new ones this weekend for the girls. There's a special occasion coming up that we'll be giving them to them for. :)
Shen- not all of the non-edible chews are vegan. I can post pictures of the ones that are, or links, even, if you'd like. Just let me know, I'd be happy to. :) We do get them at Petsmart, but I think that most supply stores like that have them.
Supply stores?! What is that?
ReplyDeleteI'll look for the Nylabones at Petsmart. I'll be interested to see if my pups are into them. They're certainly not into Kongs.
Pet supply stores, like Petsmart. You know, like Petco, Pet Supplies Plus, etc..
ReplyDeleteThank you! This is awesome news. I spent a long time searching for unflavored Nylabones and came up short. I can't believe the bacon ones are vegan!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that it helped you out, Billy!
