Material and Construction

The KONG CoreStrength Bone is built around a multilayered rubber core with reinforced internal layers that add extra toughness beyond standard KONG rubber construction. This layered approach distributes chewing force across the core, reducing compression wear and extending the toy’s usable life under sustained chewing pressure. The textured exterior surface varies the chewing experience and provides incidental dental benefit during use. Durability is positioned as heavy duty, appropriate for moderate to aggressive chewers and power chewers in small to medium breeds.

Texture, Size, and Play Duration Guidance

The textured exterior provides tactile interest that helps maintain chewing engagement over time. The bone shape’s dual-end knobs give small to medium dogs natural grip points to work from both directions, which can extend individual chewing sessions compared to single-grip formats. The SM/MD size is proportioned for smaller breeds, providing a manageable, grippable toy without being undersized. Play duration will vary based on individual chew intensity — moderate chewers will typically engage for extended sessions, while power chewers should be monitored and the toy inspected regularly for wear.

Play Style and Functional Use

As a chew toy, the KONG CoreStrength Bone is primarily designed for sustained, instinct-driven chewing engagement. The bone shape’s dual knobs allow small to medium dogs to grip and reposition naturally during chewing, extending the session without requiring pet parent involvement. As a fetch toy, the bone shape produces an unpredictable roll and bounce that adds chase interest during toss-and-retrieve play, keeping dogs engaged beyond the initial throw.

Safety, Usage, and Care Guidance

• Moderate supervision is recommended, particularly during initial use with power chewers
• Inspect regularly for signs of compression, cracking, or surface wear
• Replace if the toy shows significant structural damage to prevent ingestion of rubber fragments
• Confirm the SM/MD size is appropriate for your dog’s breed and jaw strength
• Store in a clean, dry location when not in use

Cleaning and Maintenance

Wipe clean with a damp cloth after use. Hand wash with mild soap and warm water for deeper cleaning. Allow to air dry fully before returning to your dog. Avoid high-heat cleaning methods that may affect the rubber core integrity.
