Question 1

Would these be ok for my 9 1/2 week old chihuahua

Accepted Answer

These are very hard my pug has had his for over a year and he constantly goes to it but has only made scratches on it so far I would say no for your dog get a softer version of this bone not the tough one they do one for puppies

Question 2

Are these really hard or are they the squidgier type?

Accepted Answer

They are the hard type ones, I have 2 small dogs one is a jug with a super small mouth the other a patterdale and they love them. Good if your dog is a chewer

Question 3

Is it safe for the dog to eat the small pieces she bites off?

Accepted Answer

Cut & pasted from the product page. "Nylabone have been mastering making chew toys for over 50 years and have a manufacturing process like no other, Nylabone make sure they do not splinter, instead the nice smooth surface 'roughs up' as it is chewed and tiny bristles raise on the bone, acting like a mini toothbrush which will help keep your dogs' teeth clean and prevent tartar build up. If your dog does manage to bite any off it should only ever be as small as a grain of rice and these can be passed if swallowed, they are not a choking hazard. It is important to select the appropriate chew type, size, and formulation based on your dog's age, breed, chewing style, and weight. The pressure exerted by a strong chewer's jaw is considerable, and when directed straight down can put tremendous (as much as 450 psi) stress on the dog's teeth. It is therefore recommended that non-edible chews be large enough to encourage chewing from the side rather than the top and bottom. If you have more than one dog in your household, select chews appropriate for the largest, strongest chewer. Replace when knuckle ends are worn down, or if it becomes too small for your dog to chew safely."    
My personal view: We did buy them a few times but found the chewed ends do feel quite sharp and might make your dogs mouth sore. We much prefer giving ours stag antlers now, our dogs teeth are much cleaner and they last for ages. Get the proper antler pointed shaped ones though - our two got through a wide flat type in no time at all and are a waste of money.

Question 4

When should you throw these out?

Accepted Answer

We throw ours out when they start chewing & eating little pieces off. If your dog doesn't do that then I'd suggest throwing them out when they get too small for them to use safely.
