Highlighted Reviews

— Joe

"Kong probably makes the best toys for extreme chewers. The curve is a nice feature when playing with your dog. I gave this toy 4/5 only because my dog still can chew tiny bits off of the round knobby ends if I'm not looking. But overall this toy seems very durable."

— Sueb

"My lab/pit mix had this in pieces within 24 hours. Started swallowing the parts so had to take it away. Before that, it was too slimy to play tug with him but he did enjoy chewing it apart. Just not very safe and not at all durable."

Bottom Line

If you have a moderate to heavy chewer, the Ogee Stick is a worthwhile buy. Expect to size up for aggressive chewers and be ready to supersize its lifespan with additional digital dog promises, such as layered plastic rivets and heavy-duty rope fragments.
