Amazon.com Review:
Made from the same super-durable, puncture-resistant, non-toxic rubber as classic Kong toys, this versatile, bone-shaped chew is just the thing for the home-alone dog. Dogs were made to hunt, chase, and gnaw, and denied a way to satisfy these natural urges, they can turn into barkers, diggers, shoe-chewers, or worse. Recommended by vets and trainers for dogs with problem behaviors or separation anxiety, the Goodie Bone can keep dogs happy and busy for hours while their owner's away. The innovative design features holes with patented Goodie Grippers on each end. Stuff the holes with biscuits, dry foods, or Kong brand Stuff 'n pastes or treats, and watch your dog go to work extracting the contents; the grippers make the "hunt" harder, and therefore more fun. Measuring seven inches long, the red goodie bone is appropriate for most medium- to large-sized breeds with normal chewing habits; switch to a super-durable black Extreme goodie bone for aggressive chewers. Regularly inspect your goodie bone for cracks or missing chunks, and replace worn or damaged toys to avoid a choking hazard. Satisfaction is guaranteed; if either you or your dog aren't happy with your purchase, return within 30 days for a full refund.--Mary Park

Not for strong chewers!!:
Kong makes some great toys for strong chewers, but this item is not one of them. We purchased this for our puppy, who also decimates toys, as the other reviewer's dog, and the ends where it holds treats got destroyed quickly. I think the rubber housing for the treats is not of a great design. Dogs with sharp teeth can immediately break off the nubs on the inside where the treat would go, and start cracking the rubber on the ends. Not recommended by us; stick to the original Kong shape.

My dog loves this bone!:
Our 50+pound lab have had one of these bones for about 3 years and she loves it. The ends of the bones have cracked now and it is time for a new one. I am very please that this toy has lasted so long as our dog destroys other toys immediately. I highly recommend this bone for a fun entertaining way to give your dog a treat.

Go for the bigger, stronger Kong:
I bought the bone-shaped treat Kong for my 115-lb. lab, Riley. He has a huge mouth and very strong jaws and pretty much decimates any dog toy I bring home within minutes. This was no exception. The ends of the bone where the treats are hidden were ripped open and little black bits were left discarded on the floor. So, maybe this isn't the best toy for your strong-jawed pup- but for a more moderate chewer it would probably be fine.

Didn't last 15 minutes:
Bought this for our Labradoodle who is a moderately strong chewer (she's had a standard red Kong since she was a pup and it's still going strong after a year). This bone didn't last for 15 minutes before she a ripped a huge section out of the end. I purchased the black version which is supposed to be stronger so I can't imagine how the red one would be. I wouldn't recommend this style Kong, though the original style has been great.
