Customers say
Customers find the dog toy great for puppies and smaller breeds, with good durability for medium-sized dogs. However, the product receives mixed feedback about its strength and chewability – while some consider it tough, others warn it’s not suitable for aggressive chewers. Moreover, the size is appropriate for medium dogs but too large for small ones. Additionally, the quality and value for money get mixed reviews, with several customers describing it as disappointing and a waste of money.

Our Pit loves them!!
We are on our third one in 2 years for our Pitbull Terrier. Sheās an extremely aggressive chewer and will shred even the most ādurableā labeled toys. She gets bored with rope style toys and always alternates to this Kong rubber bone. She will gnaw on this thing for hours. After a few days of use, it does start to show wear and the rubber begins splitting, but we havenāt had to be concerned about chunks or anything like that coming off and choking her. Keeps her teeth nice and shiny while keeping her occupied for hours. When one wears out, we just order a new one. I hate spending big money on dog toys, but these are more affordable and worth the cost!!

Fantastic toy
Our 4 year old Maltipoo loves these. He’s an aggressive chewer and this keeps him entertained and out of trouble. Each bone will last a good 9-12 months for us. We have bought these repeatedly over the years. After about 8/9 months you can really see the wear and tear on the toy. Definitely worth the price. Great quality and perfect size for small or medium sized breeds.

Destroyed in an hour
It was chewed in half within an hour. Disappointed in this kong product. I have found that the green and blue toys are always destroyed within a few hours and the soonest within one hour. Any Kong toy with edges is easily destroyed. We have had a American Bull Dog, Great Dane, Lab Mix and new a Bully and have found this to be a true statement. The vet said to take away the hard bones because they are causing fractures on the Bullys teeth. We have a basket full of all different Kong toys, but how many treats and how much dog food can you feed your pup. I forgot to mention he eats everything he can get ahold of. Rubber toys have stayed in his stomach for 4 days and then throws it up. Yes, that includes sticks, blankets, shoes, anything he can get ahold of, but thankfully no rocks yet. He will be 2 on March 9th. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Durable Chew Toy with a Fun Design
The KONG CoreStrength Bow Tie Bone is a playful and sturdy chew toy made to keep dogs busy. Its unique bow tie bone shape makes it easy for dogs to grab and carry, while the reinforced core is built to handle strong chewing. The textured surface not only adds interest but also helps clean teeth and gums during play.Itās tough enough for moderate to heavy chewers and works well for fetch, solo chewing, or tug games. While no toy is completely indestructible, this one holds up longer than many softer toys and gives dogs plenty of chewing satisfaction. Some very aggressive chewers may eventually wear it down, but most dogs will get a lot of use out of it.Pros: The reinforced core makes it more durable than average toys, the textured design supports dental health, and the shape adds variety and fun.Cons: Very heavy chewers may still break it down over time, the toy is fairly heavy for small breeds, and it isnāt designed to bounce or fly like other KONG toys.A strong and engaging chew toy that combines durability with a fun shape. Itās a smart choice for dogs who love to chew and play while also supporting healthier teeth and gums.

Lasted one day
Lasted on day with a small aggressive chewer.

Perfect for my chihuahua mix
This is my puppyās favorite chew. Itās a little bigger than his others so heāll be able to chew on it forever. The texture is unique being more pseudo rubbery than just hard plastic. It is hard and doesnāt flex and has different ridge textures for stimulation. All in all itās the same great quality youād expect from Kong, which is why I purchased it.

Not the usual Kong durability.
Not at all durable. Not the typical durability of their other products. After a few days pieces of chewed plastic all over the place. Took her bowtie toy away.

Might be okay for a senior canine chewer
Not for the serious chewer. Our 7 month old Dachshund chewed through to the core in about 45 minutes. He has several Kong toys he has spent hours chewing and playing with that have no missing bits. This item is not up to the standards of other Kong products.
Amazon Customer –
Not good for a dog who chews his toys to bits
Amazon Customer –
Our pup loves to chew but broke her tooth on an antler or one of the harder bone type chews so no more of them. We went to the Kong softer but durable rubber chewy toys. They clean the teeth and solve the love for chewing. ā¤ļø

Endlich mal ein Ball der etwas lƤnger hƤlt.Wir haben schon ein Vermƶgen für unseren Steffi aus gegeben da ja durch die BeiĆkraft nichts lange hƤlt.Alles unkaputtbares Spielzeug nur für Momente aber dieser hƤlt nun lƤnger.

I’m afraid this toy didn’t last long at all- chewing time on and off for maybe a couple of hours in total and my medium sized Terrier mix managed to get a chunk of rubber off the end. Definitely not worth the price considering it’s a Kong.

Mon bouledogue franƧais de 5 mois lāadore. Il fait ses dents dessus dĆØs quāil le peut.Je ne sais pas encore combien de temps lāos va tenir mais jusquāĆ prĆ©sent (presque 3 semaines), aucune fissure ou autre. Ćtat comme neuf.La taille convient parfaitement Ć mon chiot pour lāinstant. Je pense que ce jouet pourra le suivre encore quelques mois mais lorsquāil atteindra sa taille adulte, je ne sais pas si cela sera la bonne taille. Ć voir.
