KONG Wild Knots Bear Dog Toy, Color Varies

My little Bishon has been a chewer since we adopted him 12 years ago. First my furniture, and then his toys. He loves his toys! He sleeps with his toys. But he also chews on his toys, and unfortunately eats the ears, feet, legs right off, and swallows them. So we have to watch closely. He seems to understand our rules: No chewing, just give the babies kisses. (He's a very smart dog.) But the reason I'm writing this story, is that Kong bear is the only toy that has survived his deficiency. So I would like to purchase another similar animal for him. And I'm not sure which one would equal the surviving bear. Maybe someone out there can help. I appreciate it. Thank you.

We are on our second toy and they are pretty tough (the first one lasted a year). Having the rope inside the toy gives it an interest that’s just not there in a regular toy. Also our dog has a sense of pride and brings the toy over to us to show that he can make it squeak! Great value. (And beware as there are lots of knock offs of these on other sites as we noticed ordering our second one and closely looking at pictures of what others were representing.

The purchase of this bear was for a very special family member on his first birthday. I was pleasantly surprised to find this bear very solidly constructed--I got it at such a great price, I was expecting it to be somewhat flimsy. It's well made though, and completely adorable. I can't tell you yet how the birthday boy likes it, as his birthday is still two weeks away. Sometimes Chewy jumps the gun a bit on asking for these reviews ;)....

I have a Lab who is the most destructive toy killer I’ve ever seen!!!!! Most toys (and lets be honest.... anything she can get) stand zero chance of a 2nd play date invitation. She once chewed up a medium sized heavy duty retractable leash!! I couldn’t even identify what the million tiny hard pieces of plastic were until I saw color and remembered leaving it on top of her crate (in my defense, we had just rescued her and didn’t know she was that mischievous lol) I am beyond grateful she is only a chewer and doesn’t ingest anything! Fast forward a year of destroyed toys and beds and I had given up!!! Decided to take a chance on this great deal and WHOA am I glad I did!!!! It’s been over a month I have a Lab who is the most destructive toy killer I’ve ever seen!!!!! Most toys (and lets be honest.... anything she can get) stand zero chance of a 2nd play date invitation.

Fast forward a year of destroyed toys and beds and I had given up!!! Decided to take a chance on this great deal and WHOA am I glad I did!!!! It’s been over a month and she LOVES this bear and it has held up like a pro!!!! She ripped off the ears lol and managed to get a small hole in the back and pull at the rope inside but even with that it remains the hardiest chew toy I’ve ever seen!!!! 10Stars!! … more

Very disappointed by expensive stuffy that didn't last 2 weeks before getting completely torn open and loosing almost all the stuffing. Good concept with internal rope for pulling/durability, but poor outside construction won't allow this to last very long from tearing open. The description seemed like this was built tough for long lasting chewing, but not so. Also, not sure why you can't pick the color when ordering...

It was pulled apart very quickly, easily like paper. Molly is a 6 month Golden but not vicious with playing with her toys. I was very surprised this toy came apart so easily. And it sheds much like Molly, which I don’t need anymore of. So note to self with these. But, really don’t recommend this toy as it is not as durable as other Kong brand products.

We received three Kong toys yesterday around 3pm CDT. Gave one to 4mo Goldendoodle and this morning, he already has it ripped open. That is fine for a $5 store toy, but a $15 Kong is not acceptable. He has other Kong toys (heavy duty fox) that have lasted several months.

I have a 10 lb terrier that loves stuffed animals. This toy lasted her two weeks before busting open. I have bought her regular stuffed animals for kids that have lasted years. I’m disappointed that something that was made for thins purpose was destroyed so quickly, especially for the price!

I have a 10 month old rescue that is mostly a Black and Tan Hound. Cute toy that looked durable. However, within 20 minutes she had the squeaker out and ripped. I contacted Chewy for a suggested replacement but have not heard back as of this review. I will update as I hear back from them on their response.

These are the favorite toys for my Rottweiler mix. She tears everything to shreds but this toy is built around a rope rather than a lot of stuffing so less mess and less worry about her swallowing a bunch of material . Just wish there was a way for them to make these with zero stuffing!
