Those buster cubes, are they made of a soft plastic or are they a hard plastic?
I had a toy similiar to that that was made of a hard plastic (it wasn't a cube though, it was a ball) and I had to stop using it because it was actually leaving marks on my hardwood floors and on the baseboards. Tucker would fling it pretty hard when he got going and it caused quite the racket.
I tried to see on the link if it was a rubber type cube or plastic but couldn't find that info.
I don't know, Wendy, but I betcha that the LB person who gets the email in the "email your order" will know.

The Buster Cube is a hard plastic (I have one - rather Lear has one). I use it inside with him cause my lawn is not growing right now and it's dusty out there with the trampled grass. As soon as the grass starts growing again, I'll use it outside. Give my dog a little more work searching for the tidbits in the grass.
If you go to Ed's buster cube site, his streaming video talks about it, tells you what kind of material it is.

I believe they are digestible. I think it boils down to what the individual dog can handle.
I agree.
I have found both "pizzle" and "steer straps" (dried strips of tough muscle was my interpretation of the label), no rawhide, and without the sugar, salt, and other junk that's on many of these things.
I have taken them away when they were half done just to be sure of what the chewed-up result was, and it just looked like really tough jerky: not like rawhide.
With all these things, I give them when I'm right there. I have had to pull a piece that was almost a foot long out of the mouth of one of the small dogs who was doing his best to smallow it no matter how much he was choking. So now I just take them away from the small dogs when they are all chewed to pliability and I know that the next step is going to be trying to swallow it.
The big dog chews it up and then bites off the chewed part.... not trying to swallow a foot-long piece.

I have used the straps many times, but again...... none of this stuff lasts all that long! I have yet to find something other than natural beef bones that last more than 15 minutes tops.

Oh, that's right ... it was you who told me about the straps with no junk added.
If you want a treat for your dog that lasts awhile, a 'pizzle' doesn't seem to be the way to go. I've never known one to last more than 15 minutes or so....
My dog goes to work with me every day so I have run through MANY items to keep him chill at the office. The toy that lasted the longest was the everlasting treat ball. I buy replacements for it every couple of days or so, but it does the trick. Oh, and I only let him have it at work so it's always 'exciting' for him.
He likes the food cube too, but it winds him up WAY too much to let him have it at work. For us the cube is more of an 'outdoor-away-from-the-breakables' kinda toy.
