The Benebone Wishbone
Dogs love to chew, especially on stuff that tastes like real bacon. The Wishbone is easy to handle, tastes awesome, and stands up to heavy chewing.
About Benebone
At Benebone, we started with the premise that dogs experience scent and flavor in a way we can’t even grasp. So we ditched the neon colors and loud squeaks. Inspired by a dog’s powerful sense of smell, we developed a long-lasting durable chew that’s jam-packed with real bacon. Once your dog takes a bite of our USA-made chews, he’ll be hooked.
We’re Obsessed with Safety Too
Wonder if Benebone is right for your dog? Here’s what you need to know. Since it’s hard, it’s important that your pup has strong teeth. If you’re unsure, check with your vet. Nobody likes an unexpected trip to the dentist. Keep an eye out for wear and tear. Within a month or so, we find that most dogs chew Benebone into submission. See the wear page on our website for helpful photos to determine when to replace yours. Keep away from households with peanut or other allergies.

My Dog Is Obsessed — Long-Lasting and Worth Every Penny
The Benebone Wishbone is hands-down one of my dog’s favorite chew toys. He cannot get enough of it. The real chicken flavor keeps him interested, and the wishbone shape gives him a solid grip from any angle.What stands out is the durability. My dog is a strong chewer, and this thing holds up far better than most toys on the market. No soft spots, no chunks breaking off, and no mess—just a tough, long-lasting chew that keeps him busy.Made in the USA is a bonus, and the medium size works great for a wide range of breeds. If you’ve got an aggressive chewer or a dog who goes nuts for flavored bones, this one is absolutely worth having in the rotation.

My Pitbull absolutely loves the bacon flavor.
This is officially my dog’s new favorite toy. She plays and chews on this thing nonstop. She has dozens of toys and she doesn’t touch any of them unless, she forgets where she left her bacon stick. This is a must for the perfect Dental Toy.I kinda suspected she’d love these things, so I also bought the knob in chicken flavor. She likes the chicken but, it’s so obvious she loves the bacon flavor. Smart girl. I absolutely love bacon also, bacon is perfect by itself, and it makes everything else much better. Except a bacon martini, so disgusting.The main reason I bought two was to put one in my vehicle, for road trips. My dog is my child, my Princess, so she goes almost everywhere with me. I knew this would be great for keeping her entertained and distracted while we’re out running errands and stuff. I always keep separate toys in the cars for her to chew on. A few years ago I forgot to grab a few toys out of the bin and she decided that boredom was a good excuse to chew on a seatbelt, no cool. Ever since then I decided to have dedicated toys that stay in the vehicles, so I’ll never forget again. The toys she loves the most are the ones I buy multiples of. One for the house and one for each vehicle. For me it’s simpler.I did notice at first, her gums did bleed a tiny bit. She’s a Pitbull, very aggressive chewer but, only with certain toys. This is definitely one of those toys. The bleeding stopped after a few days and things are back to normal.This is truly a unique product. I call it a toy but it has many positive perks. It’s her favorite. She plays with it all the time. Any time I need to distract her for something I grab the Benebone and show it to her, she immediately gets excited and self soothes. I feel like dental hygiene is the biggest bonus of all though. I’d say 80% of her toys have dental hygiene in mind, that’s very important to me, along with not having bad breath. She see’s a flavored toy, and I see her getting dental praises at every vet visit. All parties are extremely happy.This toy is also extremely durable. With that said, I knew she wouldn’t be able to chew through it overnight, or even in a week. It’s tough finding toys that she won’t chew through overnight. This product is lasting her a long while. It’s not always about the price. To me, a toy lasting more than a few months is more important than the money spent. Based on the video ad I saw online I knew it’d be a durable product, plus I love supporting happy families that bring something different, and unique to market. Happy family equals happy products. Once it arrived and I could feel the material and texture in my hands I knew for sure “no way she’s gonna chew through this fast, or maybe not at all”. Even though it really is lasting for a long time, I still feel like she’s chewing through it faster than other dogs. That’s just my particular dog.I had a tough time picking the right size for my dog. My Pitbull is small, about 35lbs. But man does she chew in the 100lbs + size range. I really wanted the biggest size for her but, I thought I don’t want it so big she won’t be able to even chew on it, or even just getting her jaws around it. So I went with ONE SIZE ABOVE the size/weight chart that is provided in the description, and it turned out to be perfect for her. It’s small enough she can chew and have fun. It’s too big for her to bite chunks off. In the past she’s bitten chunks off all her small toys.I put both the chicken and bacon in front of her to see which one she’d grab first. Of course it was the bacon. Then it took them both and put them in her toy bin to see which she’d grab. Again the bacon right away. I love bacon too, great choice thinking like me. So I the bacon flavor stays in the house, and the chicken I put in my car for road trips.The noises my dog makes while chewing and playing with this thing drives my wife nuts. It doesn’t bother me at all, not even a little. Thanks to multiple tours to Iraq, I can completely ignore petty noises and sounds. My wife on the other hand, will tell her to play in a different room. She listens and goes into a different room. That applies to both us for all of our dog’s toys, not just this one. To be honest these Benebones do have kind of a hard texturized plastic feel to them, so yes it does make a tiny bit of noise when she’s playing and chewing.I can almost promise and guarantee that any every dog will love the Benebone in any of the shapes, sizes, and flavors. It really is the perfect toy for a dog. Especially for aggressive chewers like my Pitbull, Princess Polly. She keeps her favorite toys in her bed. This Benebone has a spot beside her big squeaky tennis ball, rubber tug-a-war, and her deer antler. I haven’t even seen her touch the other toys since I bought the Benebone.I am extremely happy with my purchase and will for sure be buying more forever. I recommend buying multiple for inside your home and for each vehicle. You will not be disappointed, unless you buy one and your dog looses it and forgets where they hid it for later.

Durable
This is a good chew for a large dog or teething puppy. It is very hard, so if falling onto a hard floor from any height, it is going to be loud and once the dog chews on it, the ends get rough, so it could potentially damage a floor if dropped from a bed, as a for instance. It is extremely durable and gives a busy dog something to do when bored.

Big, long lasting, durable and my dogs love them!
Wishbone shape Dog bone, peanut butter flavor.Benebone is a large, hard long lasting chewable bone for your fur baby!I bought one, had another smaller other brand… when this Beneone arrived, my 2 dogs decided to fight over the benebone one, so I ordered a 2nd one.Spoiled fur babies!!! Big/large bones and the dogs love them. Appear to be very long lasting and durable!!Excellent value!

Great Design, But One End Broke Off Almost Immediately
***EDIT 3: I have upgraded this to four stars. I received two replacement JUMBO bones after the one I purchased broke off almost instantly. I think that product had a defect in it, which is a little dangerous because it broke into a piece that could be swallowed. HOWEVER, the two replacement bones have been excellent. One got chewed up first, and it did slowly whittle away, but it did not break into any dangerous pieces and it did not get sharp. My puppy loved it! The second bone she has had a little more trouble chewing away, and it still gets her attention after months of hard chewing. Which makes me think that the bones have different hardness levels in the batches they are made, but that is just speculation. Regardless, the bone is great and does does not break into little pieces which could be choking hazards, and it does not get sharp.Great product, a little inconsistent in batches maybe, but it will get your dog’s attention, provide hours of chewing, and the scent does not get on the carpet like other chew toys or bones. Good purchase!***Edit 1: Benebone contacted me almost immediately and offered a replacement of the larger size. Their customer service representative has been friendly and I forwarded my contact information through their website for the replacement. I will update when I receive the new product and my experience.******Edit 2: When I contacted Benebone’s customer service to provide my address, they immediately responded in approximately an hour. In fact, they already sent and I received not one replacement, but TWO replacement bones and a nice handwritten note. I have attached a photo below proving it. The replacements were the LARGER, upgraded sizes too! I have upgraded this review to 3 Stars premised on the sincere and strong customer service they have shown me. THIS COMPANY STANDS BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS. For that, I think it is just to upgrade my 2 star review to 3 stars. I still stand by what I had said below regarding the smaller size, but so far my puppy LOVES the JUMBO Benebone and I will surely review the JUMBO in two weeks to see how it holds up. So far, the JUMBO is 5 STARS for sure; it has held up much better than the other chew toy, despite my puppy’s intense chewing on this bone (it smells much stronger than the little bone and the flavor must be super intense for her). Despite this intense chewing, the bone has taken very little damage from her–it is holding up much better.ADVICE: Do not go by the weight recommendations and size. If your puppy/dog prefers to chew on hard bones, just get the largest size for 100 lb dogs. If your puppy chews on hard bones once in awhile but not really, then you can go for the size for 70 lb dogs. I still think the 70 lb Benebone I got had a defect which resulted in one branch completely falling off immediately–the other two branches are solid despite heavy chewing–but this new JUMBO bone is amazing!***Original Review*** – 2 StarsI purchased this for my 45 lb, 8 month old pit bull/shepherd mix. It is a good idea and design, but one whole end was destroyed in no time. Perhaps I got a defective one with an air bubble or crack, as you can see from the photo below that one end completely broke off/wore down but the other two ends are barely damaged despite my puppy’s chewing.Regardless, I feel a little mislead that it was rated for dogs up to 70 lbs and, while the packaging warns you that this is just an estimate, one who anticipate that it would last longer than a week for a puppy 25 lbs lighter than the estimate. Nylabones and elk antlers lasted much longer than this did and my puppy seriously chews on the elk antlers quite intensely.As way of some background, my puppy has a lot of chew toys ranging from bones, rawhide, ropes, stuffed animals, nylabones, and rubber balls. She certainly spent a lot of attention on this toy the last week, but it wasn’t exclusive and her chewing was shared with some of her other staples.I like that this toy has bacon mixed in with it. If you smell the toy, particularly where your dog has been chewing, you can kind of smell a meaty aroma. It does not get on the rug or rub off, and it is a faint smell, but on the chewed parts you can smell something. It is not noticeable when you are sitting next to your dog/puppy and the toy, or near the toy; it is only when you pick up the toy and put it right to your nose. I can only imagine what this smells like to dogs with their super sense of smell!I also can’t argue with the design/shape of the toy–it’s perfect! The curve of the toy is great, as she can scoop it up or put pressure on one end to elevate the opposite end to chew on it.But I just can’t get over how quickly that one end came off. I got it about two weeks ago and I gave it to her last week (I slowly introduce new toys to keep her occupied and her mind stimulated). Compared to other chew toys–including nylabone and elk antlers–this toy wore down much quicker. In fact, the nylabone she has had for much longer, the puppy nylabones nonetheless, have outlasted this toy and the nylabone has been around since we first took her home at 2 months. She has also had an elk antler which has also lasted much longer and she REALLY goes after that one.I have attached a photo below of my puppy and the damage to the bone. For the cost, which is about the same as a nylabone, I would have wished it lasted much longer than it did–which is why I got it in the first place as opposed to another nylabone. I would be happy if it lasted a few months, which is what I would guess to be its normal lifespan.I would not classify my puppy as a big chewer either. She certainly chews and can do damage to hard bones or chew toys, but she is by no means a destroyer–she does not even shred her stuffed animals and has executed only a few (some were not even dog chew toys but children’s toys she was given to play with). This is the first hard toy she has destroyed where I had to take it away.CONCLUSION: Perhaps I got a Benebone that had a defect, or my puppy really just destroyed this one in a mere week, but I simply cannot recommend this version of the Benebone I got. I might try to get the jumbo Benebone or one rated higher for bigger dogs up to 100 lbs if they go on sale, but I don’t think that my 8 month old puppy should warrant a toy for dogs up to 100 lbs when she has not destroyed any of her other toys like this one. It even takes her longer to go through some of the large rawhide toys she has!

Perfect chew

Meu cachorro ama, alivia muito a ansiedade dele. Tem um cheiro natural amadeirado que agrada até humanos. Obs.: vc só sente o cheiro se aproximar o brinquedo do nariz.

It is almost indestructible.. my puppy has been at it for months. However she has chipped off the edges and those have become sharp. Need to be careful handling it after that

My dog is not too interested in chewing it so far.
