This thing splinters like crazy. My puppy chews on it very gently, and even the bark is already splintering into dangerous pieces. Next time, I'll go back to the coffee wood...

I don’t find this product safe, despite the item description: "No splintering: for safe chewing pleasure, the wood frays, and the fibres can be easily swallowed" ... 5 minutes after I gave it to the dog, there were already several scattered pieces (approx. 4 cm x 2 cm). If the dog accidentally ingests several of them, I don’t even want to think about the problems that could arise. Removed immediately.

I gave this to my dog but soon took it from her. The pieces that came off did not look safe. I contacted Zooplus but they said the manufacturer states “ The dog's stomach breaks down the pieces so there is no risk of injury.” Zooplus’ response gave me no comfort, I wouldn’t risk the pieces (some over 1cm) not getting lodged in my dog’s throat, so the stick/chew went in the bin. 0/5 was not a rating option, unfortunately.

Lotta loves it a lot, but the whole thing is such a mess that it's absolutely unsuitable for indoors (no, I'm not a cleanliness fanatic) – what she scrapes off is like sawdust, only finer, and we're constantly hoovering, several times a day. Practical test: failed. The next chew toy will be an antler again.
