Using this Nylabone dog ring toy is super easy. Just give it to your dog and let them start chewing! It's great for training as you can use it as a reward. When it comes to weight management, the extended chewing sessions keep your dog occupied instead of overeating. For dental care, the textured surface does its job as your dog chews. However, there are some things to keep in mind. Always supervise your dog when they're using the toy, especially if they're very aggressive chewers. Check the toy regularly for any signs of wear and tear. If you notice any broken pieces, take the toy away immediately to avoid choking hazards. To maintain the toy, you can wash it with mild soap and water from time to time. This will keep it clean and ensure your dog can enjoy it for a long time.
