Pet Qwerks Nylon Stick BarkBone - Durable Dog Toys for Aggressive Chewers - Mint Flavor - 9"

Update: still love! We have now had this bone for 3 months. It is still in great shape and the dogs still love it! We had to buy a second one to keep both dogs happy. It is chewed every day by a very aggressive chewer and it is holding up very well. No problem with chunks coming off or upset tummies. Absolute best I have ever seen for an aggressive chewer (talking to you, my pittie and lab friends!) Original review: Love these bones!! I have super chewers in my house. They can destroy anything, including toys marketed to aggressive chewers, to the point where I am nervous leaving hard toys with them for fear they will chomp off chunks and swallow them. Flip side of problem - some of the few durable toys that will survive them and are safe are not interesting to them, including most flavored nylon or rubber bones. Enter the BarkBone! We have used this is our house and purchased it for friends and everyone (dogs and humans) is a fan. The dogs go back to them every day. The constant chewing does wear them down slightly, but only very slightly. No large pieces come off so there is no worry about chunks, choking or $800 stomach surgeries. Love this product and will continue to purchase. PS - dogs we have tested it on are mixes of Pit Bull, Collie, German Shephard, Ridgeback, Boxer, Lab and Hound.

A huge hit with all of the pittie mixes we’ve had. The need to chew is strong but so is this bone! They can make tooth marks but can’t break the bone. For some reason they really love it, maybe the smell? It’s barely minty and I can’t imagine that’s the draw to them. More like it makes it less stinky for me if I have to pick it up and move it. Anyway they have all loved it.

We been shopping for these bones just not off Amazon. We typically get them from the PX on the military base they sell the small ones. We so happen to be lazy after a very productive day plus a toddler who refused to sleep and wanted to order it online. Boom here we are. They last a very long time! But! They do get nasty whenever the dogs mess the bone up causing hair and lint to get on the bones from the slobber from the dogs. People complain about it but. I mean. Dogs shed and there’s fur on things regardless; try to clean the toy off frequently if that’s a problem but personally we don’t care unless it’s needing! To get cleaned

This is seriously big and clunky. When my dog drops it, it makes such a loud noise on my hard wood floors. But, not a single nick in the fo-bone in over two months! Dog likes it okay, though not obsessed. She's a very aggressive chewer, so nice that those you use safe for her. This is jumbo size! I would get smaller next time, even for a jumbo dog.

I'm writing this review on behalf of my dog who gives this bone a 10/10. I've purchased all 3 sizes and he chews on all of them. My mom thinks its gross and threatens to throw it away when she visits but never actually does. The large is a bit too big and then tiny one is too small but the medium seems to be just right for my 85lb German Shepherd.

I purchased 2 of these for my 2 GSDs, who are hard chewers. I needed something they could work on and not destroy it within a few weeks of having it. This is exactly what they needed - mild peanut butter flavor, they can chew the ends but not break off pieces to swallow. I am impressed by the design, as it looks like a tree branch - and my dogs love those! It gets carried everywhere they are and they sleep with it in their beds LOL. Excellent product, I rated high on all counts as I don't see this being something they can destroy fairly easily.

Let me start off with the positive: My pup loves this bone. He's a very aggressive chewer and most toys I cannot leave him with for fear of a choking accident, swallowing accident, or just seeing his bleeding gums. I'm frustrated to say the least. So I thought this might allow a welcome change. It doesn't :-( I thought this bone would be more chewy like a Kong or Goughnuts item, but with a nice attractive flavor that would keep my pup interested for hours. It's a hard bone. He manages to chew small bits off which didn't worry me so much (more about that later), but he leaves sharp bits that cut his gums. This morning, after yesterday's quick 3 sessions of about 10-20 minutes each with the bone, my pup threw up a bit with some green liquidy foamy vomit. I think he's okay, but the plastic seems to have upset his stomach. I won't be letting him chew on this for a bit.

We have a lab/springer mix and he is a big guy. He is tough on toys and destroys many in a day. These bones are nearly indestructible. He does go through one every 3 months or so. But the price is great and he no longer chews on anything else in the house! Well worth the money.
