If you are a dog parent to a "land shark" like I am, you know the struggle. You buy a toy labeled "indestructible," get home, and within ten minutes, your living room looks like a fluff-filled crime scene. I’ve gone through dozens of rubber bones and "tough" ropes, only to be disappointed every time. That’s why I was skeptical but hopeful when I picked up the Frienhund Tough Dog Toy (7" Bacon Flavored Bone).
After two weeks of intense daily use, I’m finally ready to share my thoughts. Spoiler alert: This might be the last bone you need to buy for a while!
The first thing I noticed when I took the Frienhund bone out of the packaging was the weight. This isn't your typical hollow plastic toy. It’s a solid, 7-inch piece of industrial-strength hard nylon. It feels incredibly dense, which is exactly what you want for dogs with high bite pressure.
It has a unique, ergonomic shape that makes it easy for my dog to hold between his paws while he’s working on it. Plus, the surface has a bit of texture, which I’ve noticed helps scrape away some of that tartar on his back molars.
We’ve all bought "flavored" toys that just smell like chemicals. The Frienhund bone actually has a subtle, smoky bacon scent. It’s not overpowering to humans (thank goodness!), but my dog knew exactly what it was the moment I opened the box. He didn't need any coaxing; he went straight for it and stayed engaged for over an hour on the first day.
My 65-pound Pitbull mix usually makes short work of nylon toys, leaving sharp, jagged edges within an hour. While the Frienhund bone does show some "battle scars"—tiny little tooth indentations—it hasn't splintered or lost any large chunks. This is a huge win for safety, as I’m always worried about my dog swallowing plastic shards.
Because this is a hard nylon toy, it makes a bit of a "thud" when dropped on hardwood floors. If you have sensitive downstairs neighbors, you might want to encourage use on a rug! Also, remember that no toy is 100% indestructible, so always supervise your pup during the first few sessions.
If you have a Lab, a Pittie, a German Shepherd, or any dog that views toys as a challenge to be conquered, the Frienhund Tough Dog Toy is a must-have. It’s affordable, safe, and actually lives up to the "Aggressive Chewer" label.
