MiliSays nylon chews are made from durable pet-safe nylon with beef flavoring throughout the material (not surface coating), so they hold up to persistent chewing. Choose the size closest to your dog's jaw width; replace when worn down to smaller than the dog's mouth to avoid choking risk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the point of holographic teaser wand refills?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndoor cats need visual stimulation that mimics prey movement. The holographic teaser refills produce shifting reflections and paired with a bell, they trigger a cat's hunt-catch-kill sequence — the same reflex satisfied by real prey.
