KONG Wild Knots Bear Dog Toy, Color Varies

I got at least 4 of these before, however the most recent one must have been poorly put together as the back section of the bear opened up in a matter of minutes and it was a clean tear from poor construction.. It saddens me, as this was a good product in the past; it'd last my dog a month or two. It seems that the quality for this Kong bear has gone down hill, I will no longer recommend this product, nor will I be buying it again..

I ordered one of these for my Cockapoo puppy when he was 6 months old and he looooooved it! It was his favorite toy ever and lasted a really long time. Because of that, when his old bear got tattered and worn, I purchased a replacement from petsmart. The replacement was not constructed as well and my puppy who was now 8 months ripped the bear completely open on the first day within minutes of giving it to him. I thought it was because of where I got it from, but no. I just ordered a third bear from chewy.com and the second day of playing with it he has already ripped one of the ears almost completely off in a matter of five minutes or less. The only reason half of the ear is still on is because I ordered one of these for my Cockapoo puppy when he was 6 months old and he looooooved it!

The only reason half of the ear is still on is because I always monitor him when he plays with it, and was able to take it from him before ingesting it. This makes me so sad because he loves the Wild Knots Bears. Sadly, they are not constructed well enough for aggressive chewers. … more

I absolutely love this bear! I have three dogs one that's a golden that loves to destroy every toy she comes in contact with, and this bear can stand up to the challenge! She does usually take his "heart" out first. After a quick sew hes good as new for more play. And even if they do tear him back opened they love playing with the rope and carry it around for days.

"Bear"is my little rescue terrier mix's absolute favorite toy which I originally found in a bargain bin somewhere. After he'd loved it to death, I went searching for another one and was about to give up when I found it on Chewy! I quickly ordered three more and gave the first one to him the day they arrived. He recognized an old friend immediately and has been carrying it around and loving on it (i.e., chewing it, chasing it, tugging it, etc.) for weeks. The rope and knots inside make it much sturdier so it takes him much longer to get down to the stuffing than with other toys. Chewy's price is also comparable to the price I originally paid, amazingly.

Thought this would be tough enough to keep my labradoodle from tearing apart but within a day she shredded and gutted it. Despite its advertising as rope inside and minimal stuffing, this toy was basically a soft plushy on the outside and not a good choice for a dog who plays roughly with her stuffies.

My Carly lives her new baby. She invites everyone to tug of war with it and the bear has held up great. Carly is a lab shepherd mix and her playmates are Labs. The ropes in the bear help hold it together as they tug. Any other toy would have been torn losing arms and legs by now. The bear only has a small hole on its nose. A great toy! And they love it.

I was excited to give this toy to my bulldog, and when I did.... Not even 5 minutes later its stitch in the back tore right open..... It didn't seem too durable compare to the other Kong toys I have gotten from you all. My dog still loves to play with it, he even aims towards the torn part on this toy to grab it at!

I wasn’t sure when I opened this Kong bear if it would last very long because he’s very soft and feels cushy even though he has the rope inside him, but after a couple weeks of my golden chewing on him, tossing him in the air, playing catch with him and covering him totally with slobber -he is still in one piece and my dog’s favorite toy!! I would totally recommend this for a dog that’s a chewer like mine.

Our Havanese puppy loves this toy, small size. We’ve gone through three already in the last 4 months, as he carries it around everywhere and ends up chewing one of the legs so much that it’s just a slobbery bit of ropey fabric. We keep replacing it with the same color and just substituting the new for the old, assuming he would notice the color difference. He probably wouldn’t care, but we’re funny that way. As Chewy doesn’t let you select the color, I’m still debating whether to order the latest new “O’Brien” here (yes, we’ve named the toy), but as Chewy’s price is far better than our local store’s, I might chance it.

This is our second OEB's Wild Knots bear & being a 'stuffed' toy, I was surprised how long it lasted. He loved the first one so much, after he chewed its arms off & started getting stringy pieces & I had to throw it out, I decided he needed another stuffy because all his toys are boring, hard rubber toys!
