Bonehead Large Dog Chew Holder, Secures Chews for Dogs, Chew Smarter and Longer, Stimulate Your Dog, Holds Yak Chews with Screw-in Fastener, 1 Dog Toy

I have a frenchie who tries to swallow his chews, so I got these to prevent that issue. So far it works great to hold Yak chews. I was also hoping to use these for bully sticks, but the screw does not go all the way to the other side, so it does not work for most bully sticks (which seem to be getting thinner every year). If you can find super thick bully sticks, it will probably work. I will say make sure not to turn the screw too tight because the head of the screw is plastic, and i can see this breaking over time if your not careful. It also helps hold the chew better in his paws, and my corgi also seems to prefer her chews in these because its hard for her to hold them on her own with her short little legs.

When our dog was a growing puppy, but got her "license to chew," she used to want me to hold the other end of her chews. While I found it sweet, it was also slimy and interrupted my day, lol. So I went hunting and came across Bonehead. I love it, she loves it. Sure, she tested out the material it's made from and left a number of teeth marks on it, probably even ate a few bits, but she's fine, dogs lol. After she figured out how to hold it with the chew in a good position, she was mowing through yak chews with the best of them. I also discovered, quite accidentally, that a large nail clipper end (the part you twirl to use the clipper. see photo) turns the Bonehead screw really well and the metal is soft edged unlike a screwdriver, so it doesn't damage the holder! I had read people had problems with the screw when I ordered it 7 months ago. I also don't try to like ratchet down the screw, just turn it until the chew is secured. She's never pulled the chew out of the holder. I have also found that in addition to Himalayan Yak Chews, they hold all sorts of stuff, like small Purina Prime Bones (as pictured), 6"/12" bully sticks, etc. So yeah, a really great product!

Great for giving your dogs bones or any chew treats. This only thing I didn’t like about it was the screw that closed on the chew. If your dogs are super chewers, like mine, they will chew where the screw tightens and now I can’t unscrew it all the way to fit larger bones in it. Other than that it’s a great way to give chews and not worry about them swallowing the small pieces.

I bought two of these along with some small himalayan chew bones to try. It just barely held the chews securely- had to position them just right for it to work, but I ended up deciding the yak chews were dangerous for my dogs' teeth. And even with this holder I felt I needed to watch like a hawk to be sure the pups weren't pulling the chew out or breaking their teeth- those yak chews are scary and I read a few too many reviews (after buying 🙄) that spoke of broken molars and vet bills.So I gave up on yak chews, and tried the holder with bully sticks and other hard chews, but the screw either breaks the chew, or doesn't hold them securely, so the dogs just pull them out. One little rawhide thing actually held well with the screw down as far as it would go until the dog pulled so hard that the screw got sucked deep into the hole and the slots for the screwdriver collapsed so now the whole thing is garbage. I tried a big braided bully stick and the screw broke the braid and turned it into 3 small bully sticks that my dogs will try to swallow for sure. I'm so done trying.The only good use for this would be for a verrry chewy dental chew that is wide enough to hold tightly, squishy enough not to split. Just to slow your dog down so they don't eat whatever it is whole. Imo yak chews are terrifying and this thing isn't worth the trouble. There has to be a better option out there somewhere!

It's fine. Basically does what it's supposed to do, but my dog often gets the chw out of the thing toward the end which is the only time I need it, even if sccrewed in pretty well. Plus he chews the thing itself pretty hard and it is a PITB to get the screw to turn after he's mangled the whole area.

I bought this because our puppy is a smart boy. I would give him a yak chew and he would drop it on our hard tile floor to shatter it into smaller pieces. Those smaller pieces were a choking hazard so I was hoping I could find something to hold the yak chew and deter the tile shattering move. This worked! It holds the large size chews firmly with the screw, and where before he was shattering them about 80% of the time, now he was only able to shatter them about 20% of the time. He is getting more chew-time out of his yak chews, and I am losing less money to him breaking and having to constantly give him new ones. We are both happy. And yes, I know you can create puffs with the remnants, which we do, but those are a faster chew (eat!) treat so prolonging the big, hard chew was what we were hoping to do with this toy and it has worked.

Got this the same day I ordered a new stack of Ya chews. First thing that was a little annoying was that I could not fit all the chews in the holder. I had to go through them and find the ones that were small enough to fit the space.Put it through the hole and screwed the plastic screw in as tight as it would go. The screw does not lay flat with the outside of the chew holder so as my dog was chewing the yak he was also chewing on the holder. It worked great for that first time. Once he was down to the nub, I took the yak away and quickly realized I could not get the piece out of the holder because he chewed the plastic and the screw as now all mangled. It would no longer work. We had to use pliers to turn the screw and remove it but it the dog had chewed it so that it was no longer straight and even after we removed it there was no way to get back in again to hold a second chew. EXTREMELY FLAWED ITEM. Have no idea how so many people had no problem with this and give it such high reviews. Maybe they all have little dogs that just nibble! My dog is large and he is an aggressive chewer! If you have the same, don't waste your money on this product.
