Quick Answer: The KONG Puppy Goodie Bone is a soft rubber puppy chew toy designed to help soothe developing teeth and gums while encouraging appropriate chewing behaviour. Treats, KONG Puppy Snacks or KONG Puppy Easy Treat can be placed inside the Goodie Grippers™ at each end to create a rewarding enrichment activity.
The KONG Puppy Goodie Bone combines the familiar shape of a bone with KONG's soft puppy rubber and treat-holding Goodie Grippers™. It is designed for puppies that are learning what they should and should not chew during the important teething and training stages.
Puppies naturally explore their environment with their mouths. Without suitable chewing outlets, shoes, furniture and other household items can quickly become targets. Providing an age-appropriate puppy toy can help redirect this behaviour while supporting positive play and daily enrichment.
The Goodie Grippers™ at both ends of the bone can hold suitable puppy treats, pastes or KONG Puppy Easy Treat. This turns an ordinary chewing session into a more engaging activity that encourages puppies to work for their reward.

The KONG Puppy Goodie Bone provides puppies with a suitable outlet for natural chewing while adding the extra reward of treat-based enrichment.
The toy can be offered without food as a puppy chew toy or filled with appropriate treats to increase interest and extend supervised playtime.
Teething is a normal stage of puppy development. During this time, puppies frequently seek out objects to mouth and chew as their teeth and gums change.
The softer rubber used in the KONG Puppy range is designed specifically for puppies with developing teeth. The bone shape gives puppies several areas to hold and chew, while the treat-filled ends provide an added reason to remain interested in the toy.
The KONG Puppy Goodie Bone may help:
Chewing toys should be used alongside appropriate exercise, rest, socialisation and positive training. They are not a substitute for supervision or veterinary advice if your puppy appears uncomfortable or unwell.
The Goodie Grippers™ are treat-holding openings located at both ends of the bone. They are designed to grip appropriately sized treats and encourage puppies to chew, lick and work to remove their reward.
You can use the Goodie Grippers™ with:
Begin with treats that are relatively easy to remove. Once your puppy understands how the toy works, you can make the activity slightly more challenging by pushing the treat further into the opening or combining a solid treat with a small amount of soft filling.
Always count food used inside enrichment toys as part of your puppy's total daily intake.
This easy introduction helps your puppy understand that interacting with the toy produces a reward.
Supervise every food-based enrichment session and remove any uneaten food once your puppy has finished playing.

The Goodie Grippers™ can be filled with a suitable soft mixture and chilled or lightly frozen to create a longer-lasting activity.
For puppies new to frozen enrichment:
A toy that is too difficult may cause frustration, particularly for young puppies that are only beginning to learn how food-dispensing toys work.
See our Frozen KONG Recipes For Dogs for more enrichment ideas.
The KONG Puppy Goodie Bone can be included in positive, reward-based puppy routines.
Common uses include:
When redirecting chewing, calmly remove access to the inappropriate item and offer the Goodie Bone instead. Praise your puppy when they begin chewing their own toy.

The Goodie Bone is a practical choice for owners who want one puppy toy that combines chewing with food enrichment.
Puppies do not automatically understand which objects are acceptable to chew. They learn through consistency, supervision and positive reinforcement.
A simple redirection routine can include:
A filled Goodie Bone may be more rewarding than an empty household object because it combines chewing with the scent and taste of food.
The correct puppy toy should be large enough that it cannot be swallowed and suitable for your puppy's current chewing behaviour.
Consider:
Inspect all toys regularly and move to an appropriately sized or stronger adult KONG product when your puppy develops adult teeth or outgrows the Puppy range.
Read our KONG Size Guide Australia for more help choosing toys for your growing dog.
Clean the KONG Puppy Goodie Bone after food-based enrichment sessions to help remove leftover treats, pastes and softened food from the Goodie Grippers™.
Inspect the toy while cleaning. Replace it if it becomes cracked, split, excessively worn or develops loose pieces.
No dog toy is indestructible. Suitability depends on the individual puppy's size, chewing behaviour and how the toy is used.

Many puppies benefit from having both styles available. Rotating different toy shapes and enrichment activities can help maintain interest and provide variety throughout the week.
A filled Goodie Bone can form part of a positive, supervised crate-training routine by giving your puppy a rewarding activity while they settle.
For best results:
The toy should support good crate-training practices rather than replace gradual training, exercise, toilet breaks or interaction.
Puppies can lose interest when the same toy is presented in the same way every day. Changing the filling and rotating toys can help maintain novelty.
Try:
Keep enrichment sessions appropriate for your puppy's age and experience. Young puppies often benefit from short, achievable activities that help build confidence.
The KONG Puppy range is intended for growing puppies with developing teeth and gums. As your puppy matures, reassess the toy's size and rubber strength.
It may be time to move to an adult KONG product when:
Adult dogs with average chewing habits may suit the KONG Classic range, while powerful adult chewers may require a correctly sized KONG Extreme product.
Read our KONG Classic vs KONG Extreme Guide before transitioning your puppy to the adult range.
