how does this lead hold up to the chewing of a teething puppy?

Probably in the long run not well. Use anti-chew spray on the rope and it should be prevented. I let the lead drag on the ground and you can tell there is abrasion so I would assume the same would occur with a puppy.

for walking it would be fine.. i would not recommend leaving the pup outside alone on it for any lengthy times.. It's strong but i doubt it would hold up to persistent dog gnawing..

It is a stainless steel disk with food grade silicone. Made to US standards so it should not have any lead in it. You could always email the company if you wanted to be sure but I believe it is lead free. My baby loves this teether.

It's not a shape that would encourage chewing, Our dog is a chewer but has never attempted to chew the bob-a-lot. She doesn't play with it as often now as she did at the start, but it always has treats in it and she often gives it a nudge as she passes by and grabs a treat or two

My rabbit does chew on it. It's holding up well to the chewing but, yes, he has chewed it up a bit.

I've only used it for kittens, and I have no experience of Jack Russells. It seems to be pretty sturdy. I don't know how much they dig or chew, but it was great for me.

I wouldn't the chews tend to splinter into fine strands that could choke the puppy. I waited until my dog was over 1yr old

The gate is made of wood and I would think if you have puppies that like to chew, the gate could get damaged. My dogs are about 6 years old and haven't tried to chew on the gate. I have the gate positioned in a wide doorway and it hasn't been knocked down, I think the stability depends on how you position the gate. I was very pleased with the quality of the gate, the finish and the look for the price I paid.

It is rubber. It is flexible but stiff. It holds its shape. I do not know if the dog could chew it.

I have a puppy that is a chewer myself...and him and our mastiff are pretty aggressive with these toys and they hold up great! Any type of rope or stuffed animal has not lasted long, even if they are kong, but these hold up great!

It is made of durable nylon. I think you would be able to use this lead with a small dog. The strength of the lead is in the material and not in the weight of the lead.

I would say that it is much more durable than any other plush dog toy. For teething i would definitely get a big nylabone but if you're looking for something plush, you won't find anything stronger than this. My guys are small but extremely destructive and can amazingly destroy very large tough toys, but the goDog dragons last the longest out of anything I've found so far! Good luck and hide your shoes!

Archie our German Shepherd has been chewing on it pretty hard and so far no broken teeth. He is still a pup though.

I have a 5 month old dane. I ordered this a few months ago and while it's certainly chewed and not "pretty" it is fully functional and while she has chewed it she has not gotten off any chunks or anything for me to have concern that she could choke or swallow any bits, it's just rough with logs of teeth / chew marks.

i have two small dogs. They get 1/2 chew each. Unfortunately, it's gone in about 5 minutes. These are primarily for cleaning teeth not good for entertainment. I also use the CET Dental chews (rawhide) and they last a little longer but you have to moniter them because of the choking hazard. I think antlers would work better for a puppy. Just my opinion.

Who cares even. Nothing contained lead any longer. Besides it is covered in a thick cloth covering. Will you or your dog be chewing on the holder. If not then don'the worry....

this is a good leash and my dog is about the same size. It is a training lead. I have leather ones as well but like this one better since it softens up faster. The bright red is easy to see as well. I had cotton at one time and they degrade too fast. The nylon leads last through many dogs and many years

I think your dog would be okay with it. My dog loves Nylabones, but he's a 45lb vigorous chewer and this one wasn't tough enough for him. He was able to break off the tail, head, and little bumps on the body and unfortunately he swallowed some, which gave him severe diarrhea. So as long as he/she isn't strong enough to chew a lot off at a time and doesn't swallow any, I think she'd be ok. As far as the teeth problem reviews, I think there is always a risk in giving your dog a durable chew toy. They're tough. That's the point haha
