This was listed on the top ten favorite dog gifts. Can my dog chew on this? I didn't think it was good for dogs to chew wood?

It depends on the particular dog. Some chew on anything with no problem, others, like our boston terrier choke on the oddest stuff even things made for dogs like those white chewy sticks made from pig or cow hide. When in doubt and you don't know your dog's habits well enough, i'd suggest not using it and/or consult your veterinarian. There are plenty of other types of chew toys that might be deemed safer for your dog. I used this product for my rabbit and chinchilla.

It's a nice bed, but if your dog is a chewer then she would probably chew on this too. My dogs are not aggressive chewers, but they did chew on the corners of this bed. They stopped, though, but not before there's a damaged corner on each bed. I think they were just curious as to what it would taste like and realized that it's not exactly something they'd like in their mouths.

Archie our German Shepherd has been chewing on it pretty hard and so far no broken teeth. He is still a pup though.

Amanda, our dog could not chew through the goughnut send he destroys his toys quickly. However, once our dog realized he could not chew through it (after about a month) he wouldn't play with it any more. We ended up giving it away

Probably. Its not a toy we just give to our Golden Retriever to play with. We hold it out and only take it with us to the park. Not a chew toy.

My dog is a crazzzzzy cheer too kings don't work rawhide sucks and I can tell you I have bought 3 of these bones and she has had them for over a year because she naws on them and she has only destroyed one so to answer your question it is great for aggressive chewers!

Well, my dog completely destroyed her wooden doghouse but hadn't tried to eat the igloo months after purchase. So while I can't speak to the durability if chewed on, the problem is solved if no chewing happens at all.

The yellow cap could be chewed up. I corrected puppy when he first tried. (That is where the kibble is stored so it made perfect sense for him to try it). Mine wasn't interested in chewing at the cap once he found out there was another way to get the food. The body is too large for chewing on (I have only seen the large size so far. It is surprisingly large.) and it is very sturdy thick plastic I bought mine from here with the Starmark brand name, but it looks like Leerburg is selling the exact same line of toys so I assume they are supplied from the same manufacture.

I bought the small and on the dog kennel it just didn't stay put. Maybe with a different cage type it would work well. As far as chewing I can't imagine they could destroy it.

This is not wood but some kind of pressed together or preshaped new kind of material. Its my first interaction with it. Looks safe but for gerbils I think they would be able to bite their way through the material and escape. I used this for hedgehog's and they do not bite things the same way. I don't see this as a good purchase for your intended use unfortunately.

My dog eats his bone on there. He is a pure shepherd . Weighs 130 lbs. if he bites it , prolly not good. It is pretty sturdy.

I have a 10 month old 58 lb Yellow Lab and she loves them. She chews on wood in the yard and I thought this would be better. The package says it contains real wood with synthetic strength but doesn't indicate what kind and it's non-toxic. I won't buy anything made in China BUT the package say Materials made in the USA, assembled in China. My dog had been through 2 of them and I have a few more on hand. This is better than the redwood chips she chews in the garden. We've had no problems and I'll continue to buy them.

My dog is able to destroy pretty much anything, but she can't destroy this kong. It would be a good investment. However, be ready to fill it up often if your dog is anything like mine. Sometimes I just put it away so she doesn't consume too many goodies. The biggest is the best and make sure it is black.

Doug, our 8-month old great dane, hasn't chewed on it either. He does give a good yank on it when he wants to go outside and it is holding up pretty well. He hasn't ripped it nor torn off any of the bells. I think it's pretty sturdy.

It is layers of what appears to be pressed wood. We have a very active dog and she has managed to lift some of the edges on some of the layers. She enjoys it and the knobs that she has to move to reveal the treats are solid wood and very sturdy. I would buy it again but the description of the toy probably should be more specific. Baby Coker

It's more of a play toy than a chew chew. So only use it for fetch and put it away after. This is also a good way to train your dog to not chew her toys.

Our first dog never even tried to chew it because it's such a hard plastic. Our second dog did chew the plastic and made a hole, but the company replaced the legs he gnawed on. I think it's worth t because there is a one-year warranty on anything the dog chews on the bed, but if your dog has chewed metal?! I'm not sure what will happen?
