"The crackle is there, but there's no squeak, which my dogs love."

— Janet

"I love Kong toys! But this one is not a good one. 10min after giving it to my dog it was broke, In the product description, it stated Durable and tough to withstand rough play but is made of KONG premium rubber that's gentle on the teeth and gums. Not true at all. I do not recommend this item."

Bottom Line

If durability is not a top concern and you seek a toy that ket your dog engaged for a short period, the KONG Duets Bone Dog Toy could be suitable. However, for a more durable option and we recommend considering other KONG products or alternatives.
