Not for power chewers...
356229
We got this through a monthly subscription box for "power chewers." Our dog is a 55 pound, pointer-pit mix and she normally destroys anything plush or chewy within minutes. This was no exception. The only reason it gets 2 stars is because she LOVED it. As far as durability though, it's a zero! Our black Kong has lasted the longest of any of her chew toys - barely a mark on it 5 months after we got it. Also, her Kong Wubba lasted about 2-3 months. Definitely better than the 5 minutes it took her to rip pieces of this thing off!

The bone was great for a few hours, but my dog, a puggle, chewed through the bone so fast we had to take it away.  The bone is softer material and falls apart and gets all over the floor, so does require clean up for the power chewers out there.  Would not buy for my dog again, but could be okay for a light chewer or smaller dog.

My dog has only had this bone for 10 minutes and he has shredded the end were the ridges are.  He's a 6 year old Standard Poodle.  Not a heavy chewer.  I am not going to give it back to him because he is now bleeding from the gums.  I also bought the wishbone for a new puppy we are getting but maybe I should send it back.  I'm afraid to give it to the puppy now

We bought this because other Nerf Chew Toys we had in the past lasted.  In particular this Nerf Squeaky Football&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Nerf-Dog-Ridged-Squeaker-Football/dp/B00R68H2IW/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Nerf Dog Ridged Squeaker Football</a>
However, this barbell chew toy barely lasted a day.
So Note to folks who's dog is a powerful chewer, this toy is not for you.

We have a young bulldog who got through this guy in about 20 minutes. She's never left alone with a toy like this (we've seen what she's done to Kongs!), but she still had managed to get a piece of the interior red stuff out and was chowing down on it when I came over to pull it out of her mouth. I'm disappointed because I'd heard SUCH great things about Goughnuts, but this one is clearly not for power chewers.

My dog is normally very gentle with her toys, but it took her less than 24 hours to chew off the "feathers" on this duck's head.  I'm actually quite upset because this toy is made of rubber and I believe it's a choking hazard.  I would not recommend this toy for any dog.

On the first day I gave my golden retriever mix this toy, he easily chewed apart the rubber housing around the consumable ball, and I had to throw it away or risk him eating pieces of red rubber.  This is not nearly sturdy enough for a tough chewer, which is too bad because he really enjoyed it.  And yeah, in very small lettering on the back of the package, it is marked "Made in China."

I love this concept, but it didn't work for us. We're fostering a heartworm positive rottie mix and thought it'd be a fun toy to keep her entertained while on bed rest. However she couldn't get the treats or peanut butter out from the pods. Instead, she started chewing on the end. It's not edible and the chards are sharp. Would not recommend for strong chewers.

Lasted about 5 minutes with my two labs tugging/tossing/playing with it... Total waste of money... Very fragile rubber... We'll stick with Kong and West Paw Design toys for now... Those at least last a couple of weeks to months... And that's with two LABS (while they are young and super playful, I cannot classify any lab as a "power-chewer"... As they are NOTHING compared to the pit mixes I've had prior to them)... If you have a real "power-chewer", don't waste your money... This won't hold up...

I have an aggressive chewer and she made short work of this toy. My biggest concern was how hard the plastic was and how quickly she destroyed it-I was worried about damage to her teeth. I ended up taking out the treat and giving it to her, then throwing the rest of the toy away. I would not recommend this toy for aggressive chewers because of the risk of tooth damage.

We thought this product would withstand our 12 lb. dachshund as he destroys toys very easily, but unfortunately he pulled the inside of the toy out within minutes of getting it. Would not recommend for dogs that are avid chewers.

i wanted to get him a rubber bone that was softer than a traditional nylabone and about as durable if not more than their rubber teethers - bonus for being mint flavored, which he absolutely loves.  he's almost 15lbs and i got him the medium sized one and within 15 minutes it is completely full of puncture holes, some with tiny flaps i know will be bitten off.  this bone isn't REMOTELY durable.  i'd be surprised if it lasts him a week before i have to take it away from him.  it's really floppy, not even as tough as a puppy kong.  i definitely won't be buying another one of these, or anything else from this company (except maybe astrobones, which they bought out), since their name is a misnomer - these items are not made for "ruff dawg"s, let alone 3 month old puppies.

As one of the other reviewers noted, this toy is not for strong chewers. The ball portion did not last even 10 minutes with my husky/retriever mix.

I have to give this a qualified review.  I got this for one of my spaniels, who is a light, almost wimply chewer.  I thought my dog was a weak enough chewer that this "puppy" bone would be OK for him, but it turned out I was wrong.  The bone broke apart too easily and I took it away due to concern that it could be a choking hazard.  Now, to be clear, I don't blame Nylabone for this.  I should have known better.  My dog is not a puppy, and yet this bone is clearly marked for puppies.  I'm simply leaving the comment for others out there that it is not advisable to get this bone for an adult dog, even if they are a weak chewer.  I learned my lesson the hard way.

For what it's worth, I think this bone would be excellent for younger puppies.  But I have no doubt that a 6-month-old sporting breed could tear it to shreds in no time.

The smell of this bone, by the way, was very powerful -- I can tell it would be appealing to a dog.  Almost appealing to a human.  If your puppy is hesitant to chew things and you want to get it in the habit, this would be a good option.  Like candy for a dog.

The price is reasonable.  I would recommend for younger puppies and/or very small dogs, but try to avoid my mistake and do not give to adult dogs.

My teething puppy (chocolate bullador) preferred this toy to nylabone's teething toys and has no interest with his permanent teeth. He has the same reaction to the bacon-flavored hollow stick.

Before buying, know your dog's chewing style; not just based on breeds, but your actual pet. I have done a fair amount of research online, reading reviews, and talking to pet store clerks to find out this is not an uncommon behavior. Teething puppies are figuring out the world and will put anything in their mouth but may prefer a hard surface to push their teeth against into their gums. Then, with adult teeth, they may want to use their powerful teeth to destroy. So, this toy will likely fail to redirect destructive behavior because they will not be able to cause any damage. My dog quickly lost interest and started gnawing on his previously ignored teething bone, which I had to quickly take away after two days. He got one good day out of the teething bone, exposing the dental bristles, but was breaking off much larger pieces on day two and would have destroyed the whole thing in under and hour if I had not separated him from it. Now, I am stuck with two durachews and not quite sure how to spark his interest in either.

Pro: Teething puppy looking for hard surface
Con: Useless for powerful chewer that cannot dent

Toy does not last more than 10 minutes. Rope came off immediately and bone is not very durable. After a few minutes of play, several chunks had broken off and was no longer suitable for my pet to play with. Do not waste your money - purchase a toy that lives up to the advertising ("for your power chewer").

I purchased this toy for my lab who is a powerful chewer. I expected this toy to last him a couple of days--but he had chewed through the fabric and pulled out the stuffing within 30 minutes. More importantly--this toy is DANGEROUS to dogs that chew!!  My daughter called me to another room panicked because as my dog had pulled the remaining fabric away from the thick rope--we discovered that the very thick rope is actually on large loop (this isn't evident because of the fabric covering a portion of the toy). What this means----is that my dog had a thick rope noose that was around his neck!!!!  He couldn't get it off by himself. I shudder to think what could have happened had my 1year old lab been alone in the house when this happened.  BAD TOY DESIGN!!
