A big win for my extremely aggressive chewer!

Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2016

As a former vet tech, rescuer and pup momma I've come across some chewers that take the cake. Of course, one of my own is the worse of the worst. My monster lab/poodle mix can DESTROY just about anything I buy for him . He snaps the ultra kongs in half without blinking and will crack even the largest Nylabones within a few minutes. Even toys marketed as indestructible with money back warranties fall to their death in his jaws. That said .... HE LOVES THIS BONE and hasn't managed to do much damage to it which makes it one of the best chew toys I've ever encountered.

BROKEN TEETH - Please read!

WARNING! PLEASE READ!

TLDR: These bones caused slab fractures in both of my dog's teeth I now have a $1300.00 vet bill and two samoyeds in a lot of pain.

I bought these bones as they have a very high rating, I thought I was doing my research well and making the right decision for my dogs. I do not give them any other type of bones; and 6 months later when I took them to the vet this is what they said:

The bones are too hard and even though they deteriorate as they chew on them the damage is done, both dogs have slab fractures in their molars and need to have them removed.

Mind you my one dog is only 3 and now has no top molars thanks to these bones, I feel like a terrible dog parent and do not want this to happen to anyone else. While the dogs do like these, the end result was pain and an extremely high vet bill. PLEASE USE WITH CAUTION, I recommend NOT AT ALL.

Better than Nylabone.

Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2015

Flavor Name: REAL BaconSize: LargeVerified Purchase

For some reason, our golden-doodle prefers this over the traditional nylabone. Maybe it's the flavor or shape; he's had it a few months so "newness novelty" would have worn off by now.

It would be better if it didn't get all rough (see picture) and flake off little burrs of plastic that stick in socks and bare feet, but since big blocks of silicone don't satisfy chew cravings, and most other things are shredded in minutes, this is the best compromise I've found.

Update: after 6 months, he has really put a dent in it (second picture), but it continues to be a favorite.

Durable, and apparently delicious - great for strong chewers

Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2017

Flavor Name: REAL BaconSize: MediumVerified Purchase

Personally, I don't love it - but my dog does. God knows why, because it sure as hell does not taste like bacon.

...not that I've tried.

We have 4 or 5 in the house right now because it's the only toy he does not immediately destroy. It's a very hard plastic, so great for strong chewers. As it gets worn, the edges get really rough so definitely keep an eye on your dog and make sure they're not hurting themselves. The wishbone shape is cute, but it's also pretty easy for my dog to hold between his paws when he goes to town on it. He closes his eyes and gnaws on it so passionately that I get a little jealous because I don't think I have ever enjoyed chewing something as much as my dog enjoys chewing this (and let's be real, we have WAY better stuff to chew than they do.)

Good chewing toy for aggressive chewers

Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2021

Flavor Name: REAL BaconSize: MediumVerified Purchase

The media could not be loaded.

I had benebones before, and bought two of these medium sizes for our 15 months old English bulldog girl.
She loves the bacon flavor and I have a peanut butter for her after this one is finished.
She had it for a week and you can see the wear and tear on the video.
She torn her ACL so it is a good way to keep her occupied since she can't exercise or play as before.
I really like the brand. The others she had before this looked like a stick and she finished them rather quickly, I had to throw way the pieces that were left because they had about 2.5 inches, and her mouth is pretty big.
She had one for cleaning the teeth as well but that one was difficult for her to chew on, this format is perfect.

Great chew toy for an aggressive chewer.

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2021

Flavor Name: REAL BaconSize: MediumVerified Purchase

The media could not be loaded.

I was looking for a chew toy that would last longer then a day. We have tried all sorts of toys, bones, balls and Kong toys. Normal toys don't last an hour. Cinder looses interest in rubber Kong toys or balls. The one thing that kept her interest and lasted was hooves. The problem with them is they smell.

Then we found this. She has been chewing on this one for a month and she has not given up on it or destroyed it. We found a winner!!!

Benebone - We're Hooked!

Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2018

Flavor Name: REAL PeanutSize: MediumVerified Purchase

What on earth do you do with young pups who have tons of energy, sharp teeth, and powerful jaws? You exercise them, of course! And then you give them Benebones. Wow. These are a huge hit in my home.

Several times during the last 20 years I'd purchased Nylabones (similar concept), but none of my dogs had shown any interest. It was disappointing because I needed a heavy-duty chew toy for my pets to enjoy while inside the house; I can only guess they lacked enough flavor.

Benebones (one peanut butter, one bacon) are a welcome addition. My dogs detected something exciting in the Amazon box, and when I revealed the goodies inside, ALL the pups were interested. They're still chewing away and swapping flavors. I'm equally delighted!

It's important to remember that powerful chewers (especially young pups with sharp teeth) can destroy just about anything. Let's face it; they're born with jaws capable of chewing through animal hide and bone. Chew toys are no exception. My dogs (mixes of Shepherd, Retriever, and Doberman) are fiercely and happily chomping on their Benebones and making a dent in them. As the toy gets wet, it softens on the surface. Teeth marks are evident, and the smooth surface of the toy becomes jagged, BUT the dogs are not destroying it. It's the most significant difference for me; the surface changes, but not the integrity of the entire toy. You can see where it is minimally breaking down, but overall they are lasting. The toy is solid when dry, and the roughened surface scrubs the dog's teeth. Then, as the dog continues to chew, the toy softens a little. I cannot detect any odors and I don't see stains on my rugs or furniture. Thankfully, my dogs haven't experienced any obvious GI upset, which can happen with natural chews like horns and rawhide. The photo shows both bones after a week of daily assault, and they're still holding up. Even if they only last for another week, they're still a far better value than the chew toys that get destroyed within 10 minutes. However, it appears the Benebones will endure many more weeks (if not months) of enjoyment, and this makes them an absolute winner for my brood.

Hope this helps!

Almost indestructible

Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2016

Flavor Name: REAL ChickenSize: LargeVerified Purchase

I have three dogs who all love these Benebones (Lab, Golden Retriever, and Amstaf). They have Different flavors of these bones and my dogs love all of the flavors. The dentist has remarked about how clean their teeth are, which I think is in great part due to these Benebones. They have laundry basket full of toys and since these Benebones are heavier than most of their other toys, they usually settle toward the bottom of the basket. It is so funny to watch them digging through the other toys to get to their Benebones. Over several months, one knob on one of the Benebones was chewed down (little shreads at the time, not a harmful chunk), which meant I bought another round of Benebones for all of them. One of my dogs had to have surgery because she swallowed a chunk of a Kong toy, but even though she is a strong chewer (Bully breed) and can demolish most toys in 15 minutes or less, these Benebones last months before they need to be replaced. I watch their toys to make sure nothing starts coming apart that could necessitate another trip to doggie ER ($6,000 bill and 5 days in hospital). The price of the Benebones may seem a little high, but if you can avoid trip to doggie hospital for intestinal blockage and all the pain your dog would suffer, they are a good investment. It is cute to see each of three dogs grab one knob on a Benebone and pull in three different directions. If I could give 10 stars, I would. Great design and material for all dogs, but especially for Bully types.

Update: I am back online buying another set of Benebones. My dogs and I continue to prefer these chew toys over all others. I waited too long to reorder and currently only have one I allow them to chew. With 3 dogs chewing on a Benebone 8-10 hours a day, I am extremely impressed that they have lasted, on average, about 4 months. Two will lay there watching for whichever one has possession of the Benebone to turn her head or go for a drink of water so one of the sisters can steal it and get a turn chewing. Two of them "talk" and will tell me that her sister stole her toy. My solution is to take it away from all of them for a while. Problem will be solved in two days when new shipment of Benebones arrive and each of my girls will have her own Benebone. I need to be a better Mom and make sure I keep a supply of new replacement Benebones on hand since all 3 are despondent when they do not have their favorite Benebones. I continue to highly recommend Benebone chew toys.

Large Bacon and Chicken

Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2022

Flavor Name: REAL BaconSize: LargeVerified Purchase

We bought our young Bull Mastiff/Shepherd mix one bacon and one chicken. Her last benebones lasted about 8 months - but we buy her two at a time. I saw her with the remains of one of them yesterday that was big enough that I wasn't worried about her having it, but small enough that it's going in the trash next time I see it. It is a year old. She keeps hiding it.

I like the benebones for her. She is a chewer with powerful jaws. This helps to keep her from chewing up and swallowing sticks and other things that could really hurt her. Our other dogs each have one as well although they aren't big chewers so their's last a lot longer.

They last a long time, the dogs love them, we have never had any problems. If you have a chewer, I highly recommend.

you cannot leave your aggressive chewer alone with this

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2022

Flavor Name: REAL BaconSize: GiantVerified Purchase

I got this for my young pit who is an aggressive chewer. The raw hide bones were getting expensive so decided to try this. She gets bored very easily even after exercise so having this to occupy her is great. I’ve taught her to be careful chewing even with raw hide bones so I do not believe I have to worry about her breaking her teeth like other dogs, but she is resilient and this product is already wearing down within the first hour of her having it. And for that reason I find myself watching her pretty carefully. She’s always with me tho and having her chew on this instead of constantly wanting to play is much better and still allows me to get things done. Again I would never leave her alone with this product but that doesn’t mean it deserves less than 5 stars. It’s perfect for her.

This bone has been a lifesaver for us! Our pup is a super chewer and destroys every other toy we give him. He’s taken lately to swallowing any fabric he gets his mouth on. These bones provide him with hours of chew time without the mess or constant battle of retrieving fabric from being ingested.
