The KONG looked to be a solid, well made product that could withstand much abuse from my delightful chewy chums. It came with some simple packaging that even the most sophisticated chewy chums could have appreciated, and it arrived safely and was delivered to the paws of the licking panting shedding machines.The waggy tailed chewy chums loved the smell and taste of the stinky rubber. Each to their own. I tried to tell them that if my keyboard smelled like that I definitely wouldn't lick it, but they were not put off by my reservations. The toys sent the pack of wild beasts into a frenzy of bouncing, wagging, panting and general euphoria.The menagerie was sent into a further frenzy when they saw the jar of peanut better being pulled carefully from the cupboard. Me being a mere human slave, I couldn't get anything past them! They were then sent to another level of euphoria, a rubbery peanuty one. As I slathered peanut butter into the holes at the end of the stinky rubber toy they ascended onto another plane of existence, becoming one with the universe and at peace with all the wrongs in the world. They were drooling and watching me with big puppy dog eyes as I slathered very thick and hard to slather peanut butter all over the inside of the stinky rubber toy.When the wild beasts disguised as my pets received the peanut butter filled stinky rubber toys, they each took them to a comfy spot, and proceeded to lick ferociously at the peanut butter, unaware that it was pretty much the same sort of consistency as wallpaper paste, and that it would take hours to get it all off. The hairy ones licked away for hours, unaware of the goings on of the world, too busy to look up from their peanut-gasm.Eventually, the cuddly hairy ones decided to leave the stinky rubber toys and came back to the modern world, and continued to live their lives, with a peanut shaped void clearly visible in their eyes. It saddened me, but I didn't want to face the repercussions of them overeating peanut butter and the river of peanut mud that would follow later on. Upon inspection of the toys by the human slave, she was correct in thinking they had finished. The only remaining peanut butter was far out of reach of the beasts tongues and starting to dry. A quick wash out with some water and they were as clean and stinky as new.The love - peanut relationship went on forever. The lick machines continued to lick peanut butter from the kongs, but they also found a new love for them even when the peanut was gone. They would take the black toys and sit with them, aimlessly chewing them for hours, making a beautiful symphony of squeaking rubber noises. Mozart couldn't compare. Even after several months, and then eventually years, the toys still stood up to the test of large sharp beast teeth and regular abuse. The toys stayed intact with only a peppering of tooth marks all over, like tooth holed freckles. They were firmly in love with these toys, and they lived happily ever after together

A little background is in order: Our two dogs are 18lbs and 50lbs. Both of them are absolute power chewers. They inhale bite size treats without even chewing. Nylabones don't stand a chance. Rawhides are practically swallowed whole. Plush toys are ripped apart before your eyes. One of them actually ate an entire pair of gym shorts. These dogs are chewing machines, what can I say. They do their work so fast that nothing keeps them occupied for more than 3-5 minutes!However, as much as they have decimated any toy we have thrown at them, their Kongs have survived for months without showing a single sign of the abuse they've endured. What's more, not only are these toys super-durable, they are the dogs'

My dog, bless him, is a chewer. He's destroyed loads of toys in the past, because he seems to like taking them apart. We were getting quite tired of buying him nice toys and then seeing them in pieces on the rug about ten minutes after giving them to him. And then we found this Kong bone.They're amazing. He's a cross between a Staffie and a Lab, so he's got the strong jaws and the appetite to match his genes! But he took ages - months - to even break one bit off one of these.Interestingly, we've never used them for their intended purpose - to put treats in the ends. He's happy enough lying on the floor squelching the ends together in his mouth (and filling them with slobber and licking it back out again,

For Puppies and young dogs who like to chew this is a well made product. Our puppy does use it on her own to play with but we also use it to throw and for her to retrieve and bring back to us in the mornings before she goes for her mini-walk. It is very bouncy and when used on the tiled floor our puppy loves it as it springs back up into the air. She is not a puppy who is left for hours on end and therefore I have surveyed her when she is on her own. This is a good chew but would not keep a growing energetic puppy amused for long if she did not have other chews in her play area (our kitchen). I would not recommend any puppy to be left for long periods of time with just a few Kong products.

I bought a larger Kong Extreme Goodie Bone than my dog needed because he's a voracious chewer. He's already chewed off the ends of medium Nylabones, cow bones, and antelope antlers, all within an hour. He also apparently likes furniture. He hasn't managed to rip this apart yet, but I imagine that's because it doesn't taste good... only what you stuff it with tastes good. He also hasn't yet chewed through the biggest Nylabone that you can put a long treat in (I think it is supposed to taste like chicken). He has multiple foraging games, toys that are stuffed with treats, over 20 balls, squeaker toys, ropes, etc., and I play with him several hours a day, including trying to wear him out with "fetch" outside.

My dog is bonkers for this toy, so much so that he took it on his walk today. It seems sturdy and doesn't make any annoying squeaking noises. Also good for playing tug of war. My dog is medium-large and an average-strength chewer (I think), but he's very diligent, and this toy is holding its ground. His other favorite toy is a KONG Classic that must be about 13 years old now. He inherited it from my previous dog and it's still in great shape, so I went for the same brand again. The cut outs at the end that you can wedge biscuits into are a bit of an Achilles' heel for this bone. After about a month of enthusiastic chewing, I noticed a small crack coming out of one.Update: After six months of chewing,

LOVE this toy! My lab/pit mix one year old dog is sweet as pie, but boy can that dog CHEW!! No toy lasts more than one chew session - stuffing comes out, rubbery plastic is shredded to bits, rope becomes a pile of string... I purchased this bone about six months ago and there aren't even dents in it. He loves it. Sometimes I smush peanut butter down in the holes on the end and put it in the freezer - it gives him something fun to do when he has to be crated while I run errands, and I don't worry that he's going to break pieces of the kong off and swallow it when I'm not watching him. This is a really really sturdy kong.UPDATE: My dog STILL has this and it's STILL whole! It's been 2 years since I wrote this review,

I love this chew bone. I may even love it more than my dog. You can literally fill it with anything you are willing cram into it and then just sit back and watch your pooch get all excited and frustrated as they try to get the goodies out.I have had this since my collie x german shepherd was around 3 months old so over a year now and its in perfect condition.I fill it with lots of different stuff depending on what i have at the time. I've seen me putting peanut butter, Primula cheese, carrots, mashed potato, biscrok biscuits, tuna, you name it its probably been in there.As he has gotten older though i must admit he seems to have it sussed as before he would take maybe 40 minutes to empty it

We ended up buying two of these, one for each English Bull Terrier, we have a male and female of that breed who are both very strong chewers and destructive chewers. Suprisingly enough they have not destroyed these bones. When I felt the flexible bone toy, I thought this toy would be torn up, but I think the fact it is somewhat flexible works to the advantage...the toy is soft enough it will not break their teeth, and the softness keeps the toy from being "broken" by strong chewing..but it is tough enough to withstand the powerful chewing jaw muscles of the bull terrier dogs. They even play tug of war with it without tearing it up.edit: we bought 2 of these and out two large English bull terriers play with them every single day...they play tug of war,

5/18/17 Update: We still have this toy! Since then, we adopted another Pittie and this toy is still holding up. Love it!12/18/15 I wrapped this toy for my pitbull and put it under the Christmas tree with a bunch of other presents for other loved ones. Somehow, he sniffed this one out and opened it while I was cooking dinner. I wasn't sure if I should be happy that he opened his own gift or mad because there was wrapping paper remnants all over the living room. Either way, we let him keep it! He is a very playful and powerful 1 year old pitbull with an obsession with chewing and tearing. Kong Extreme toys are the ONLY toys that he can't destroy. We have tried numerous other brands and none seem to hold up.

We have a high energy Border Collie, and this toy (along with 2 other Kong toys) got us through the puppy stages. He is a very aggressive chewer, and destroyed every other toy, in addition to chewing through a wire cable covered in plastic that we used to stake him out in the yard if we couldn't take him somewhere with us. He still loves it and still plays with it, mostly tossing it in the air and carrying it around. He will still occasionally chew it very aggressively, and it has lasted. It is his favorite KONG toy (the others are the KONG Extreme toy found here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002DHNZA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (I can't describe the shape!)

My 9 month old, 65 pound American Staffordshire Terrier adores this toy. The ends of the toy are hollow allowing you to fill it with treats. We put small size dog biscuits in it and we have also lately started filling the ends with wet food and freezing it. This freezing method keeps him entertained for over an hour. Unlike his regular Kong, the treat areas on this bone are too small for him to simply lick out the wet food. Instead he chews on the ends and this knocks bits of it loose and squeezes it out. This nearly doubles the amount of time it takes compared to his standard Kong filled the same way.The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because he really doesn't seem to care about it unless there is a treat or something stuffed into it.

Kong. The name of choice for sanity-preserving puppy owners.If you have a dog, and especially a puppy, the mere thought of a Kong product provides instant relief. I’ve got several Kong products and they’ve not let me down yet.The Kong Treat Bone is made of their hardest rubber so has the greatest chance of standing up to the most playful of pup. There is hole through the centre at either end of the bone into which you can stuff a treat or two. As with all Kong treat toys it’s advisable to use some kind of paste or soft food to help wedge the treat into the toy. I recommend soft cheese (cheap supermarket stuff is fine), peanut butter (essential to make sure it doesn’t contain Xylitol as it’s poisonous to dogs….Sun Pat and Skippy don’t use that so should be safe)

My mid-size Chihuahua loves the Kong bones and this is a perfect size for him, but he mostly loves them because I put a bit of low-fat peanut butter in each of the holes for a morning treat. Neither he nor my large dog (with a much larger Kong bone) chew on them beyond licking out the PB, but it's a great way to give them this treat and keeps them busy for quite a while. If you should try this, give them the bone outside or on an uncarpeted floor as it can make a bit of a mess. As well, because they lick around the ends every day, the outside covering gradually wears away (takes quite awhile, but it does happen), so when the bone starts to feel sticky, I replace it with a new one. For that reason,

We walk a friend's ten month old German Shorthaired Pointer and would like to have a break for a coffee or meal after fifty minutes then walk him for another fifty or so - he's off the lead during these walks and is racing to fetch the ball so gets lots of exercise. Unfortunately he hates these brief breaks and will tear up the yard of an outside cafe or tear up boxes of tissues and cushions if he is in the house. I bought him this Kong and we stuffed it with dog treats. He was totally absorbed for fifteen minutes then started going crazy and we found that he'd eaten the treats so we put in another one. (The packet said that a dog his size could have two a day.)
