Perky Tails Almost Indestructible Hard Nylon Bacon Dog Chew Toys (2-Pack) for Small to Medium Dogs
Product description
The essentials
If you’re dealing with an “in and out” chewer who goes through toys faster than you’d like, Perky Tails’ Almost Indestructible hard nylon chew toys are aimed squarely at that problem. On paper, they’re built to hold up better than softer rubber alternatives, while also giving your dog something more interesting than a plain chew.
These are 15cm chew toys (roughly the size of a TV remote) made from hard nylon, and they come as a 2-pack. The idea is simple: encourage positive chewing habits, satisfy natural chewing instincts, and keep your dog occupied—particularly when you’re at home and need a reliable chew to help manage boredom.
A key point here is the bacon flavouring. Whether your dog gets hooked immediately or needs a bit of encouragement depends on the individual, but for many dogs the “taste & temptation” angle can make the difference between a toy that gets ignored and one that gets worked through.
Where it stands out in everyday use
Hard nylon is the star of the show. The brand’s pitch is that it doesn’t break into chunks like some rubber toys can, which is meant to help reduce choking risk. That’s a meaningful consideration if your dog tends to aggressively tear pieces off chews.
In practice, these kinds of toys tend to suit dogs that want something firm to “attack” rather than a plush toy that gets shredded, or a softer chew that may not last long. The 15cm length is positioned for small to medium mouths, and the product description specifically calls out dogs between 11 and 23kg.
Key takeaways on size and fit
These chew toys are described as ideal for small to medium dogs, with guidance for dogs around 11–23kg. The toy is 15cm long, and it’s designed to match the visual strengths of dogs: they see the world differently and respond best to blue and yellow.
That visual bit is easy to overlook, but it does fit the overall design logic—if a toy is easier for your dog to spot and track, it’s more likely to get used (and not just hidden under furniture). Still, keep expectations realistic: vision cues don’t guarantee your dog will love it, especially if they’re already set on a particular chew they prefer.
What matters most for aggressive chewers (and the limits)
The “almost indestructible” wording tells you something important: nothing is truly indestructible with strong jaws. These toys are made from hard nylon and are intended to last longer than chunks-prone chews, which is a sensible direction for aggressive chewers.
However, if your dog is an extreme destroyer—one that can demolish most things—this may still end up being a shorter-term solution than you’d hope. It’s also worth noting that the pack count is just two, so you may want to think about how you’ll rotate chews over time.
Usage tips
A simple routine can make these more effective. For example: if you’re working from home and your dog tends to get restless, offer one toy at the start of a busy spell and let them settle into chewing before they start looking for attention. If they take to the bacon flavour, they’re more likely to return to it when you need a distraction.
It also helps to supervise at first—particularly with aggressive chewers—just to confirm your dog’s chewing style matches the toy’s intended “hard nylon” approach. If you notice severe wear very quickly, that’s a sign the toy may not be coping as intended for your dog.

Should you buy it?
It’s a good fit if you need a tougher chew for a small to medium dog that chews aggressively, and you’re specifically trying to move away from softer chews that can tear into chunks. The hard nylon design and bacon flavour are both geared toward longer-lasting chewing and keeping your dog occupied.
It may not suit you if your dog destroys almost anything quickly, or if you prefer a toy with a completely different texture (like softer rubber or more flexible chews). Also, if you’re looking for a toy based purely on vision or “boredom relief” and your dog doesn’t respond to bacon-flavoured options, you might find it less rewarding.
For many households, this sits in the “more durable chew” category rather than the “guaranteed forever” category—so buy it expecting improved durability, not miracles.
