The Kelpi Bone is a toy but if its ingested, it really depends on whether your dog uses it to play with or chew on. If he or she does chew it down, it is extremely good for them. It really just depends on how strongly your dog chews but for heavy chewers, it will last about the same amount of time as a large yak chew. Some heavy chewers prefer to play with it though. Our terrier naws on it, using it to masticate, it really does depend!

YES! The “nail test” (also called the fingernail or thumbnail test) and it is a quick way to check if a dog chew or toy is soft enough not to break teeth: you press your fingernail into the toy, and if it leaves a visible indentation, it’s generally considered acceptably.

How the nail test works

• Press your fingernail firmly into the surface of the chew or toy.
• If your nail can make a small dent or indentation, the toy has some give and is usually considered safer for teeth.
• If your nail cannot mark it, or your nail bends instead of the toy, it’s likely too hard and carries a higher risk of tooth fractures.

Why vets recommend it

Veterinary dentists often see slab fractures and broken carnassial teeth from very hard items like bones, antlers, hooves, or rigid plastics. The nail test is used as a simple proxy: if a human nail cannot indent the material, it may be harder than tooth enamel and therefore more likely to chip or crack teeth during chewing.

Related “rules of thumb”

Alongside the nail test, some vets also mention:

• A “kneecap test”: if it hurts to hit your own knee with the toy, it is probably too hard for your dog’s teeth.
• A “hammer/nail-through-wood test”: if the toy is so hard you could drive a nail through a board with it, it is not appropriate as a chew.

In essence, choose toys that flex and compress under pressure, rather than rigid items that behave like rocks or bones! Chews the Kelpi Bone xx
