KONG Extreme Goodie Bone
by KONG
Price $12.98
Rating ★★★★ 4/5 (13 reviews)
Category Kong-Style Toys
Best For Dogs that prefer bone shapes and like to grip toys while chewing, especially moderate to strong chewers who still enjoy treat puzzles.
The KONG Extreme Goodie Bone is a bone-shaped chew toy made from black Extreme rubber with treat-holding Goodie Gripper ends. Its shape makes it easier for dogs to hold between their paws while chewing, and the ends can be stuffed with snacks, soft chews, or spreadable treats for added engagement.
LickiMat Tuff Heavy-Duty Dog Slow Feeders
by LickiMat
Price $15-$18
Rating ★★★★ 4.3/5 (11 reviews)
Category Lick Mats
Best For Ideal for dogs that damage thinner mats and need a more durable, more challenging licking surface.
The LickiMat Tuff series is designed as a more durable alternative to softer lick mats, using a thick rubber-like food-grade material with non-slip feet for stability. Its deeper textures hold wet, raw, and chunky foods more effectively than many standard mats, helping extend licking time for enrichment, slower feeding, and anxiety relief.
