Petstages Dogwood Tough Dog Chew Toy

We have two French Bulldogs and one of them has a particular affinity for chewing on wood (think coffee table, cabinetry, and baseboards as a younger pup). I was desperate and trying everything when we came across these. We buy the large bones just because our dogs are aggressive chewers despite being medium sized. They love these bones. The only downside is the little fragments hurt when you step on them, but I vacuum them up daily. They do go through them fairly quickly, but chewy’s quick delivery keeps us stocked!

My dogs like chasing sticks and the two of them will play tug-of-war with large sticks outside. My hound likes to chew on my wood coffee table and wood toybox when I go to work. They like this toy, but it's not their favorite. It's heavy to throw, but would be okay outside. It's very well made and good quality, so I upped my review from 3-stars to 4 because it's not the company's fault my dogs are picky about the wood they chew. From my dogs' behaviors, I'd bet that this toy tastes like wood. (I did not taste this toy.) I'm satisfied with the purchase, not sure if it's for everyone. Sometimes the dogs will gnaw on it while they're chilling on the couch, but not for long.

This is much more plastic-y than woody. My dogs enjoyed chewing on them but I set a time limit being afraid it would wear their teeth too much. I have a middle-aged boxer with small teeth and lab with big teeth who loves to chew sticks. I won't buy this again. Not horrible but I really don't like the hard plastic feel. Also loud when dogs drop it on hard flooring. I think even if some material gets ingested, it seems safer than if dogs ingest real splintery wood. Pros and cons.

I bought this for my 2 year old Belgian Malanois, hoping it would satisfy her chewing urges. It was rated for “tough chewers”, but after only 5 minutes she had an inch off the end eaten off. It does say the pieces of wood that flake off are digestible, but I doubt it is meant to be consumed that quickly - she would have eaten it entirely within an hour if I hadnt taken it from her. I bought two because I believed the description. I discarded the used one and gave the other to a friend’s puppy. This is NOT a tough toy.

First time I’ve ever given a bad review. I buy TONS of toys and treats from Chewy with thumbs up on EVERYTHING but this. My yellow lab just won’t touch it. He chewed on it here and there the first day but has never touched it again. Not sure why. Very well made , nice smell, great shape etc. Just not a fan. And it wasn’t cheap.

This is a durable toy they keeps it’s shape even when the dogs are trying to destroy it. I have not had any sharp edges yet but we do get some peace’s broken off as they chew so we watch for that. The love the way it feels and gives them a good gripping surface. If you have a medium (50lb) dog I would not go smaller then the medium and would recommend leaning towards the next size up.

The two dogs that visit my house regularly love these sticks. The only complaint I have is that it leaves hard little bits that I have to clean up after every chew session. i will add that I have to clean up after every rope toy or other material is played with as well. They are super aggressive chewers.

Our dogs both chew on sticks like it's going out of style, but we didn't want to encourage that, especially in the house. We got them each one of the dogwood tough toys and they LOVE them!! They typically choose these over a normal Nylabone. If you have a chewer I would highly recommend this product!

I bought this for my highly destructive German Shepherd Dog who can destroy toys in seconds. We’ve had this for two weeks and it’s still holding strong. I will say that she doesn’t find the toy to be that fun, though. It’s very hard and doesn’t seem to give her a lot of satisfaction.

My dog usually loves these kinds of hard chew toys but for some reason wasn’t a big fan of this one. He did chew it up but it wasn’t nearly as interesting to him as other chew toys before. The quality of the bone is otherwise excellent and a good durable choice for big chewers.
