Quick Answer: The KONG Puppy Goodie Bone Large is a treat-dispensing chew toy designed for medium and large growing puppies. Made with KONG's softer puppy rubber formula, it provides an appropriate outlet for chewing while the Goodie Grippers™ at each end can hold suitable treats, kibble or KONG Puppy Easy Treat for rewarding enrichment.
The KONG Puppy Goodie Bone Large is a practical enrichment toy for larger puppies that enjoy chewing, food-based play and problem-solving activities.
Puppies naturally explore with their mouths, particularly while their adult teeth are developing. Providing suitable puppy toys can help redirect this behaviour away from shoes, furniture and household objects while encouraging more appropriate chewing habits.
The Puppy Goodie Bone combines a familiar bone-shaped design with treat-holding openings at both ends. These patented Goodie Grippers™ can be filled with suitable puppy treats, kibble or KONG Puppy Easy Treat to create a more engaging activity.
Made using KONG's puppy rubber formula, this toy is intended for developing teeth and gums. It is a useful option for supervised chewing, reward-based training, quiet-time enrichment and introducing puppies to treat-dispensing toys.

The Puppy Goodie Bone Large provides several forms of enrichment in one toy. Puppies can chew the rubber body, work to remove food from the Goodie Grippers™ and carry the bone-shaped toy during supervised play.
The toy can be offered unfilled for supervised chewing or filled with suitable food to increase interest and encourage longer interaction.
The Goodie Grippers™ are flexible treat-holding openings positioned at each end of the toy. They are designed to grip suitable food while allowing the puppy to lick, chew and work the filling loose.
Depending on the size and texture of the food used, the Goodie Grippers™ can create different levels of difficulty.
Begin with an easy filling so your puppy can learn how the toy works. Increase the difficulty gradually once the puppy understands how to remove the food.

The Large size is intended as a starting point for many medium and large growing puppies, but breed alone should not determine the correct toy.
Consider:
The toy should be large enough that it cannot be swallowed or lodged in the puppy's mouth. If your puppy falls between two suitable sizes, choosing the larger option is generally the safer starting point.
Use our KONG Size Guide Australia before selecting a Puppy Goodie Bone or another KONG toy.
The KONG Puppy Goodie Bone Large may suit some puppies from medium and large breeds, depending on the individual dog's current size and chewing habits.
Possible examples include:
Always assess the individual puppy rather than relying solely on breed. Puppies from the same breed can vary considerably in mouth size, growth rate and chewing behaviour.
Teething is a normal part of puppy development. As adult teeth begin to emerge, puppies often chew more frequently as they explore different textures and seek appropriate outlets for this natural behaviour.
The KONG Puppy Goodie Bone Large is designed using KONG's softer puppy rubber formula to provide an engaging chewing experience for growing puppies. Combined with rewarding treats inside the Goodie Grippers™, it helps encourage puppies to focus on appropriate toys instead of household items.
Helpful teething routines include:
While chew toys can support healthy routines, they should always be used alongside supervision, training, socialisation and appropriate veterinary care where required.
Food-based enrichment encourages puppies to work for their rewards, helping slow eating while providing valuable mental stimulation.
The Goodie Grippers™ allow owners to vary the difficulty depending on the puppy's experience and confidence.
Always introduce new foods gradually and include enrichment foods as part of your puppy's overall daily diet.

If your puppy has never used a frozen enrichment toy before, begin with easy fillings before progressing to firmer frozen recipes.
The Puppy Goodie Bone Large works well alongside positive reinforcement training and daily routines.
Food-filled enrichment toys should complement—not replace—exercise, training and interaction with your puppy.
