What Stands Out

  • The curved shape is built around the fact that dogs do not have thumbs, so it stays put while they chew
  • Real bacon is used for the flavor rather than a surface coating
  • Made and sourced in the USA
  • Benebone publishes safety and replacement guidance instead of leaving it to guesswork
  • Sized by dog weight, with Tiny through Giant covering most houses

What To Check

  • Nylon chews wear to a nub and can crack, so they are a replace-on-schedule item
  • Hard nylon is not the right chew for a dog with dental work or a history of tooth fractures
  • Amazon lists a manufacturer recommended age of one month and up, which sits oddly against a heavy chew for adult dogs

The Wishbone is the number one best seller in Amazon's dog chew toys category, and the shape is the reason. Most chews are straight, which means a dog shoves one around the floor until he gives up. The curved arms give him something to trap under a paw so he can get a real chew going on his own.

Flavor is worked through the nylon rather than painted on the outside, so the interest does not end the first afternoon. Benebone makes and sources these in the USA.

Safety note: hard nylon chews are for supervised chewing only. Benebone points owners to its own safety and replacement guidance, and worn or cracked chews should go in the trash rather than back on the floor. A dog with dental work or a history of tooth fractures belongs on something softer.

The Numbers That Matter

Under 90 lb for the Large. Sizing down is the common mistake. A dog heavier than that needs the Giant, not this one.

Real bacon for flavor. Through the nylon, not on it. That is what keeps a dog coming back to it on day ten.

Three flavors. Bacon, peanut butter and chicken. Dogs have opinions, and rotating flavors keeps a chew interesting.

SpecWhat it decides
Large, dogs under 90 lbWhether you bought the right size
Curved paw-grip shapeWhether he can chew it without your help
Nylon constructionHow long it lasts against a power chewer
Bacon flavor through the materialWhether he stays interested past day one
Published replacement guidanceWhen it comes out of rotation

Plan on replacing it. Nylon wears to a nub, and a nub is the part that causes trouble.

Who It Is For

The dad whose dog has already tested a table leg. It sits alongside the rest of the house setup: a Bedsure orthopedic bed to chew on it from, and the rabbitgoo no-pull harness plus Taglory rope leash for burning off the energy that starts the chewing in the first place.

The Short Version

A power chewer with nothing to work on finds the couch leg. The Wishbone gives him something he can pin and actually get his teeth into without a human holding one end, which is the point when you have four dogs and a house full of boys. Size up if your dog is near the top of a range, and retire it on Benebone's schedule.
