In life, generally the real thing is better than the imitation. But every once in a while, something comes along that’s better than the real thing. Our new maplestick is made with nothing but maple wood and nylon, for a durable fetch toy which will have dogs ditching regular sticks.The maplestick is a nylon/wood mix and it has a bit more “give” than our other flavored nylon chew toys. Benebone maplesticks come in small, medium, and large and just one flavor – maple wood. Weight is only a rough guide to sizing, and cannot replace the monitoring of a dog’s chewing habits. When in doubt, choose the larger size chew toy for safety’s sake.
