KONG Squeezz Crackle Stick for Dogs, Color Varies

My puppy likes this, although it's too big for her mouth (she's currently 3 lbs). It makes an interesting crunch sound, different from her other toys. So, she likes it, but its way too big for her mouth. Hopefully, it will be a fun toy when she's grown, but it's not ideal for a puppy.

I have been having the hardest time finding toys for my aggressive chewer. I thought for 14.00 it might actually last. Nope. Here we are 24 hours later and he has pulled the end out of it and the crinkle plastic out and has now started chewing the edges. Don’t waste your money.

I wouldn’t recommend the medium size of this toy if you have a large breed dog or puppy. Our German Shepherd, Ryker, is four months old and 40 pounds. We have the large size which he loves but struggled to carry it a little (seemed a bit big for him). So we bought the medium for another part of the house. Sadly, the medium size is barely big or long enough for me to tug with him while it’s in his mouth. That said, he likes the crackle noise that this toy makes and it is thick (seems somewhat durable) so we’ll keep it and see how things go. In reading the other reviews, I will also avoid leaving it with Ryker unattended since he’s a strong chewer and will probably crack it at some point.

My year-old-Redbone loved this toy. However, she loved it so much that within 45 minutes she had managed to chew off one end. This occurred during supervised indoor play—thank goodness I had not left her alone with it. I had read the reviews before I purchased, so I was aware that it was a risky purchase. However, I thought if I used it as an indoor interactive play toy, perhaps it would prove to be more durable. Wrong! If you have a strong chewer, this is not for your dog. Too bad, too, because Ruby immediately loved this fun, interesting toy, and tried to retrieve it when it went into the trash.

Our pup took some time to warm up to this one but she loves it. It provide comfort to her teeth. She chewed off one of the ends, but it's still going strong after a couple of months. She likes the sounds it makes.

Truthfully I was disappointed with this Kong product. I’ve had one of these before that I believe lasted 6 months. This one only lasted a couple of hours and my dog had the end popped out already. I have to throw it away. Not sure if it was defective or not. I may try another one.

My dog isn’t the strongest chewer and he got the end off in about 15 minutes. I almost gave it two stars because at least he was interested in the toy itself. Do better Kong...this does not hold up your name.

This item only lasted approx 20mins before my dog chewed through it. I was disappointed that the quality from KONG was this poor.

These crackle toys are genius. My 55-lb lab/terrier mix is a heavy chewer and has gotten through so many other toys in the month I've had her. This is lasting so far. She loves the crackling sound, squeaky toys seem to scare her inside the house (unless it's a fetch ball). And it can go outside too. When her fetch balls freeze outside, this makes for a great toy to toss around the backyard, and it can easily be rinsed off afterward to bring back into the house. I've since also bought a Kong crackling bone toy for her and it has also survived more than two weeks so far.

My girl is a strong chewer. Given that this was a Kong, I thought that it would last a long while. She chewed the end off in under an hour. The traditional Kong tough toys are utterly boring to her but she loved the crunchiness of this one. If they had made the outer shell out of the red rubber, it would've been perfect. This would be better for a non destructive chewer. Great concept; needs better materials.
