KONG Extreme Goodie Bone Dog Toy

We rescued a one year old, 40 lb. pit/beagle mix who had always been crated for long periods of time. We've spent a lot of time getting him adjusted to being crated calmly. He almost always destroys something or finds something to drag into his crate to chew up. One time he actually ate the crate tray. This bone, (the large size) with treats and kong paste stuffed in each end, has been the answer! We stuff it for him and he heads straight to his crate. When we let him out he brings it with him. This has been a lifesaver.

I purchased this to see if it would hold up longer than the red one. The Black Kong items are supposed to be more durable than the others but my Chocolate Lab was able to start tearing it almost as easily. It is tougher but I don't know by how much. I guess I have a determined dog trying to get the treat I put inside.

For those with extreme chewers look no further. Even if you think you need something tougher you won't find it because anything tougher than this and not rubber (i.e. antler) could damage your dog's teeth (happens a lot). For me, this is holding up very well for my extreme 40lb chewer.

I had asked the sales woman what she would recommend for a yellow lab that chews on everything and she recommended these bones and I bought two of them and they are a godsend I wish I can remember the girls name but I can’t remember maybe you can look it up in your records I would highly recommend these to people with dogs that to Hawaii thank you.

The Black Kong. Prouducts are the only ones I can get for my Doom. First I got him the ball and it’s the only thing that’s lasted. So I decided to get him this bone. Not even a week has passed and he was obsessed with it and destroyed it. Don’t get me wrong he loved it but I need something tougher

Great and durable product, but the snack-holes provides a "grab" point for my dog. After a few days he chews at the openings and pieces of rubber begin to separate and unfortunately he has swallowed a few pieces which had blocked / interfered with his digestive system. Eventually in a couple of days he passed the pieces in his stools. No fault of KONG, but this is the fourth and last Extreme Bone he will get. I should have monitored his chewing / playing with toys much closer with the first two bones, but as soon as I had seen (within two days) pieces of rubber on the floor from the last two bones, I immediately discarded the bones. Maybe a solid rubber bone without the "snack-openings" would Great and durable product, but the snack-holes provides a "grab" point for my dog.

I do not leave my dog home alone with any toys. Dog: Sixteen-month old, eight-eight pound purebred German Shepherd. … more

I have a pitbull who is about 50 pounds and she absolutely loves chew toys! We used to have the large version of this bone, but it was big enough to be awkward for her to carry and difficult to play with. I don't know what it is, but my dog absolutely loves these bones and she loves to run around with them to show them off. The only negative is that she destroyed this bone (while supervised) into tiny pieces within four days of receiving it. We love these products, but for my pup they are not strong enough. Consider if your dog is a power chewer before buying.

The toy is made well for a normal dog but my 85 pound pitty who is a huge chewer literally broke it in half in less than a day. He loved every second of playing with it until I had to throw it out.

My dogs loved this toy so much! After several days of endless playing one of the pups took it into the yard and buried it. I guess eventually they’ll dig it up and playtime will resume.

This is a great chewer toy that will definitely stand up to your dogs teeth. The only thing about this that I find a little annoying is that the treat cavities on the ends are rather large, and I have trouble stashing any kind of treat in there that is not too large for my dog. Peanut butter and other sticky stuff is workable, but then because of the double open end, it gets on the walls and floor. Still, my dog loves this chew toy. It has heft to it and for some reason he really likes that.
