Quick Verdict

The KONG Holiday Core Strength Bone Dog Toy has a mixed reception. Some users praise its strength and durability, while a significant number of reviews report it being easily destroyed by dogs, especially heavier chewers.

Highlighted Reviews

β€” Claire

"This bone is STRONG! It is still in tact months after Christmas, and my dog plays with it every day. He usually destroys toys within a few days! Definitely recommend."

β€” Cayla

"Not as durable as I had hoped. Didnt last 10 minutes before my dog tore the end off."

Bottom Line

If you have a non-aggressive chewer, this toy might last longer, but heavy chewers will likely destroy it quickly. Overall, it's not a recommended product, especially for strong chewers.
