Good Design Could Use Some Improvements These toys have been a staple in our house for years. If your dog loves to play with a ball as much as a good long two this is a little piece of doggie heaven.We have two Old English Bulldogs a 95 pound six year old whose always had a Bouncy Bone and his partner in crime a seven month old puppy whose already over 50 pounds. They both adore these but as reviewers have mentioned the treats are gone in a blink of an eye.One of the concerns I've had with the treats themselves is that Rawhide is processed with so many chemicals including formaldehyde. I make it a point to never buy rawhide. The bone part of the toy is great for easy to moderate chewers but for hardcore aggressive chewers it's not going to hold up well. Harley our oldest Bulldog reduced his new bone to mere shreds in a few days. The material is no where near as durable as Nylabone especially their Durachew which is about as close to indestructible as you can get.Like all Nylon based chew toys once they get jagged it's time to throw them away. Nylon can splinter into shards and cause internal damage but then so can bone and hard rubber. Which we discovered a few years ago when Harley had eaten part of a hard rubber toy and needed emergency surgery as it was blocking his intestines a close and incredibly scary call.Cotton rope toys like the Booda Rope are really the safest and although they ingest quite a bit it's non toxic and digests quickly. The other side of the coin is that most dogs lose interest in them pretty quickly albeit for those games of TugOWar.At the end of the day there's no perfect dog toy and supervision is everything.The Busy Buddy Bouncy Bone packs a tremendous amount of Fun Power and our dogs love them. I wish they would hold up better and replace the treat with a healthier alternative.
Dog Loves It For 5 Minutes My energetic lab mix loves his Busy Buddy. Sometimes he gnaws on just the bone part for a little while but he is ecstatic when the rawhide rings are added. It occupies him for about 57 minutes. Be wary of anything that says it entertains your dog for hours because most likely it will entertain some dogs for just a couple minutes. Probably the smaller the puppy the longer it lasts. But it's nothing for my TRex.
Great Toy My dogs love this toy! They can stay distracted for a good hour trying to get the rawhide. One thing that I would recommend for owners of multiple dogs is to invest in more than one toy.
Not for my dog Purchased this because of all of the great reviews but this just isn't for my dog. I have a pit bull who is an enthusiastic power chewer. On its own she wasn't really interested in it. I put a bit of peanut butter between the gnawhide discs and the rubber ball and she finally got it. It took her a good 20 30 minutes to get both of the treats off after which she started chewing on the hard plastic bone ends. Unfortunately she started gnawing little chunks off of the ends besides the little pieces of plastic that were coming off the chewing also peppered the texture of the hard white plastic with sharp little pieces that were cutting the inside of her mouth and gums there was blood all over the ends of the toy. I had to take it away from her because while she likes the toy she's also destroying her mouth with it.
Awesome!!! I have a 1 year old lab puppyHe absolutely loves this toy! I was unsure I was buying greenies and a rawhide bone and this was suggested.
Great toy. They should sell replacement ends! My 12lb min pin mix loved this from the moment I gave it to her. She was so excited about it the first time I gave it to her loaded with the treat disks she worked on it for 2 hours and exhausted herself. She loves it weather it has the treats on it or not. I got her the 'medium' size. The small seemed too little. She's an avid chewer and tears up most toys really quickly. She's had this one for several weeks and it's still in ok shape. The ends are plastic material similar to a Nylabone. She loves chewing them even with no treats on it. They wear similar to a Nylabone Durachew as well. It would be really great if this company sold JUST the bone portion to replace the worn ones. The center ball is heavy rubber like a Kong is made from. It will be a great ball on its own once the ends are worn out. She loves her toy so much if the cats walk past it she runs over to grab her toy from them as if they want it!. Despite this being on the pricey side and not lasting a super long time she enjoys it so much I'm going to get her another soon.
Great toy Both of my dogs love these rings. They love the rawhide treats and it keeps them entertained while working to get the treat off. My brother's dog comes to visit and always grabs one of these bones to chew on. The only problem is that when my dogs have these for too long they eventually gnaw the knobs off the end. They are heavy chewers. They love them enough that I have bought them 3 new ones each time they ruin the knobs.
Keeps my dog busy There's nothing earthshattering about this particular toy. It does what it is supposed to do which is to keep my dog busy chewing out the rawhide pieces. She has it down to about twenty minutes. It does keep her busy and when I go to refill it she gets excited. The main problem is that it does become expensive to upkeep since the little rawhide disks are like $8 a pack and she goes through them pretty quickly. But the toy itself is tough doesn't splinter and stands up to her chewing This is a 40 pound New Guinea Singing Dog mix. I'd recommend it certainly.
Pretty Durable Treats Get Expensive I have a 10 month old Lab puppy 50 pounds and he is a big time chewer/shredder. He's gotten to a point where he is only interested in a toy if it has a treat Kong IQ treat ball etc or can be shredded apart stuffed animals tennis balls etc. I was happy to see that this keeps him occupied for 2030 minutes at a time and I only put one gnawhide treat on it at a time. He usually chews the ends of the bones as well as tries to get the gnawhide off. We have a Med/Lg size seems to be the perfect size for him and it takes him just a few minutes to get the actual gnawhide off when he is trying the rest of the time is spent happily chewing on the ends. My dog usually isn't interested in Nylabones so I was surprised to see him chewing on this so much.I will agree with a couple other reviews White nylon bone easily gets chewed up and gets quite sharp. He hasn't had any cuts in his mouth that I've found but I do have to be careful when unscrewing the ends because of how sharp it is. It's quite heavy for a toy. My dog loves to get playful and throw toys into the air with his mouth but this one is a little too heavy for that and so far he hasn't shows any interest in chewing on the ball in the center.One more downside for me is that the treats can get expensive. So far they are at least $0.50 per gnawhide they were about $0.80 each at Target so if you were to use 2 treats at a time like it is meant for that's at least a $1 a pop. So I've resorted to using this as a special treat every couple of days instead of daily.
great toy size large is HEAVY DUTY i had a medium sized one for a couple months and decided to order a large and it is BIG. this thing is really heavy duty. one difference i noticed is the treats on the medium sized bones peeled off easily but the treats on the size large bone actually go almost underneath the ball so when its screwed together it cannot be pulled out easily my dog has treats still left on his bone and cannot get the last bit off.
