Perky Tails Almost Indestructible Dog Toys (16.5cm) – Bacon Flavour Hard Nylon Chew Toy, 2-Pack
Product description
What it is and why you might want it
Perky Tails’ Almost Indestructible dog toys are aimed at small to medium dogs that chew with serious intent. On paper, the pitch is simple: a hard nylon chew toy (16.5cm) with a bacon flavour designed to keep your dog interested long enough to turn chewing into something more constructive.
These are the sort of toys you choose when you’re trying to manage boredom, redirect chewing onto something safer, and give your dog a satisfying outlet at home. It’s particularly relevant if you’ve noticed your dog getting restless when you’re busy—working from home, cooking, or simply not able to keep interactive attention going all day.
The essentials: what to expect from the toy
The set is a 2-pack of 16.5cm chew toys in hard nylon, flavoured with bacon. The brand positions them for dogs between 12 and 20kg, and notes that the toy is larger than a TV remote. There’s also a strong practical reminder: with hard dog toys, surface wear is expected, and small fragments can be normal.
A flavour-led approach can be useful because it gives the toy a hook beyond texture alone. That said, bacon flavour is only part of the story. If your dog is a top-tier “no toy lasts” chewer, these may still wear down—because no toy is magically indestructible in every household.
Key features that matter day to day
Hard nylon for aggressive chewers
The toy is made from hard nylon, with the idea that it resists breaking into large chunks compared with softer rubber-style toys. This is meant to help reduce choking risk. It’s not a guarantee of zero damage, but it’s a sensible material choice for dogs that demolish toys quickly.
Worth noting: as with any hard chew toy, you should expect scuffing and abrasion. Perky Tails also recommends supervising and removing the toy if it becomes heavily damaged.
Size and “chew fit” for small to medium mouths
At 16.5cm, these are intended for small to medium breed sizes—described as ideal for dogs roughly in the 12–20kg range. The product also specifically references small-medium breed examples (like Cocker Spaniel and Beagle). In practice, that sizing can make a difference: too small can be swallowed easily, too big can get ignored.
Flavour and engagement
The bacon flavour is designed for taste and temptation, so your dog is more likely to pick the toy up and stick with it. If your dog goes after food-like smells and gets motivated by scent, this kind of flavoured chew can be the difference between “we tried” and “it actually gets used”.

Who it suits best (and where it may fall short)
It makes sense if you’re looking for a durable chew for day-to-day boredom relief—especially for dogs in the 12–20kg bracket that need something satisfying to gnaw on while you’re busy.
It might not be the best match if your dog is the kind of chewer who routinely turns toys into dangerous debris. The manufacturer’s own guidance implies you’ll still need to check for heavy damage and remove the toy when it’s gone past “normal wear”. Also, because surface wear and small fragments can be normal, you’ll want to keep an eye on condition rather than assume “leave it and forget it”.
Should you buy it?
Is it worth it?
Buying it is a good idea if you want a flavoured, hard nylon chew toy for small to medium dogs and you’re happy to supervise and replace based on wear. The material choice and the guidance about removing the toy if heavily damaged suggest it’s built for real chewing sessions, not just light chews.
You may want to skip it if your priority is zero mess and zero monitoring. Hard nylon chews can still show wear, and any chewer can eventually push a toy too far. If you’re not able to supervise regularly or you know your dog destroys toys aggressively in minutes, it might not fit your risk tolerance.
