Those nylabone things are definitely not good either.
Right now mine are getting Beneful Healthy Skin and Coat for the bigger chis. The tiny ones get Beneful puppy. I add a small tablespoon of Pedigree canned food. I feed the Milk Bone Healthy Teeth or some such and again have to get 2 different sizes. I am ordering some Lipiderm for their coats, some multi-vitamins, again in two sizes. During the cold months they do not go out for very long, maybe 15 min. max., when it is below 45 degrees. My vet is very happy with that and I will not change it. Some of the chis are very sensitive to food changes or even changes in my schedule.

He has done surgery on too many dogs and cats with ruptured intestines due to bone fragments. That is what they make toothpaste and toothbrushes for..works fine and no risk.

My vet mentioned giving my chi’s raw chicken necks and wings to help clean their teeth. Okay, is that safe? I worry about broken sharp points on the bones. I’ve always gotten big beef bones for them to chew on, but they could not break the bones.
