KONG vs Benebone: 30 Days of Violence

We gave a 60 lb husky mix a KONG Classic and a Benebone Wishbone and timed the destruction. One month later, here's what survived.

Two legends. One jaw.

Moose, 60 lbs, career toy-count: 14 confirmed. We gave him both at once.

Week one wear comparison of both chew toys

Week 1: both alive

KONG: scuffs. Benebone: tooth grooves. Moose: personally offended.

Week 3: Benebone bends

Still fighting, but the ends are rounding. Nylon loses slowly. It still loses.

He literally buried it in frustration. We dug it up. Not a scratch.
