PetSafe Busy Buddy Bristle Bone - Durable Dog Chew Toy with Bristles & Rubber Nubs for Dental Health - Treat-Dispensing Toothbrush Toy for Hard Chewers - Dog Enrichment Supplies

I bought the PetSafe Busy Buddy Treat Ring Variety Pack for our 15 lb Shih Tzu and he absolutely LOVES it. The second he sees me pull it out, he gets so excited. We use it mostly to keep him entertained while we pull our cockatiels out of their cage for the day. This is such a great toy for mental stimulation and keeping him busy. It’s interactive, keeps him focused, and makes treat time last longer instead of him just inhaling snacks in two seconds. The rings are extremely durable, they treats fit really well, and it’s nice having a variety pack. It’s also a great option for small dogs who need enrichment without it being too heavy or difficult to use. The rings have no odd smell like other toys do. They come in an array of sizes and this particular one has little bristles that work as a tooth brush while he is using it as well. Highly recommend if you’re looking for an enrichment toy, treat toy, or something to keep your dog entertained at home especially if you are using it for what we are.

First bought this toy in July 2022 and just bought a second in December 2022 due to the first one being destroyed and unusable. My malamute is a master at any chew toys. If it doesn’t have a yummy or edible piece to it she has no interest, which makes this toy perfect. Whether this toy actually cleans teeth, I'm unsure, however it does preoccupy her for 30-45 minutes and I'll take it! Most “long lasting” toys/chews last my malamute about 5-10 mins. The only reason I'm giving a 9/10 is because after 4 months the plastic bristles and purple rubberized spikes start to fall off and I'm certain my dog has consumed them. I’m more concerned about her consuming plastic than the fact this toy inevitably falls apart. Which is expected when an animal consistently chews something, of course it will begin to break apart. My only feedback for the company is potential swapping the plastic for an alternative? If the toy is bound to break, minus we’ll make it something that’s edible/not toxic.

My 60-lb, male Golden Retriever LOVES this bone. My first mistake was I put it together too tight; second mistake I loosened it too much and he had it pulled apart in no time. Now, it's just right. He wasn't sure about it, honestly, for about 5 hours. He is a chewer, he gets bored quickly, he's such a great dog I wanted him to have something indestructible, safe, and allow him different types of chewing in one toy. OH MY GOODNESS! This toy checks all the boxes. I did think I bought a Large; turned out to be a medium which is really perfect, for 50 to 90 lb dogs. And what came with this purchases was a bag of the treat rings. So glad I did! Finding the right chew toy to occupy this adorable boy has been a challenge. PetSafe, you met the challenge! Thank you so much!!

I’ve bought 5 of these so far. My dog loves them. They’re good for power chewers and they clean teeth. The inside can get a little gross but it keeps her occupied for a LONG time. The replacement disks also last a while since I only give them to her as a treat. She likes the bone even without them, sometimes even sleeps with it. Only downside is the bristles fall off and I have to pick them up from where she’s chewing. I’m honestly a little worried about her swallowing them but they’re so small I assume they’d just pass through without any harm. I’ve started to fill the disks a little more sparingly out of caution but she loves this thing.

I found this brand of chew toys locally and my dog goes crazy for them. The “PetSafe Busy Buddy Bristle Bone Dog Toy” in the size x-small is perfect for my 20 pound Lhasa Apso 5 year old dog. There was a limited selection locally, so I came to my favorite “everything you need” shopping spot. The toy is designed to have two chews on it. My dog was able to remove the end that screws in and holds the bone together. I learned to tighten the connection. Also two rawhide chews per day were too many for her digestive system. She had soft stools. For this reason, I limit her to one rawhide chew per day. Four (4) size A treats are included in this package. With one chew, she still gets fabulous enjoyment. I adopted her less than six months ago, and there are very few toys she likes. When I saw the love she had for this brand, I found this great chew that has dental benefits too. BONUS: dishwasher safe.

Update: Sadie still loves the bone, but I am getting tired of having the rubber rings wear out. I wouldn't mind except that I have to buy two bones for $32 to get four rubber rings. I throw out the bristle rings (see original review) and the hard plastic parts never wear out. I would rate this 5 stars if they would sell replacement rings at a reasonable price and get rid of the bristle rings. Especially infuriating when you consider how much they must make off the treat rings - they could make money giving the bones away for free. Original: Some of the reviews express concern about the bristles coming out of the brush ring and causing injury when the dog ingests them. I gave one of these bones to our dog and she absolutely loved it - with or without the treat ring. But after a while (and a lot of chewing) I did notice the bristle loss and that was concerning to me as well. The rest of the toy had held up remarkably well. The bone ends were well chewed but still usable. The rubber nub rings were missing a few nubs but otherwise OK. So I bought a second bone and substituted the new rubber nub rings for the worn out brush rings. Still works great with or without a treat ring and it has held up for over a year. So I can recommend it if you buy two and throw our the brush rings. It is still a good value when you consider how durable it is and how much the dog loves it.
