Creepy Little Chicken Feet… But My Dog Is Obsessed
Creepy Little Chicken Feet… But My Dog Is Obsessed
I am not even going to lie, when I first opened these WOWBALA dog toys, I had to pause for a second because why do they look like actual little chicken feet? 😂 They are definitely a little creepy at first glance, but apparently my dog does not share my human judgment because she went absolutely crazy over them.
These come as a 2-pack, and they have a bacon scent that is very much not for me, but clearly made perfect sense to her. The second she got one, it became her new prized possession. She carried it around, chewed on it nonstop, and I am pretty sure she even tried to hide it somewhere in the backyard like she had discovered buried treasure.
What impressed me most is how well these hold up. My dog is not gentle with toys at all. She chews like she has a full-time demolition job, and somehow these still look basically new from a normal glance. Up close, yes, you can see where she has been working on it, but it has not broken apart, shredded, or left those annoying little toy pieces all over the floor. If you have ever bought a chew toy that turns into confetti within 20 minutes, you already know why that matters.
The nylon feels solid and heavy-duty, and I like that it is made with safe, non-toxic material since this is something she keeps in her mouth for long periods of time. It also keeps her busy, which is a huge win because bored dogs will find their own entertainment, and usually it is something expensive or inconvenient.
So yes, the chicken feet design is a little weird. Yes, the bacon smell is definitely for the dog and not the humans. But my dog is obsessed, it keeps her entertained, and it survives her chewing like a champ. That makes this a solid win in my house.

aggressive chewer approved!
So far my German Shepherd–Husky mix is obsessed with these. He’s about 75 lbs and usually destroys nylon toys within a day, but these have held up really well. After several long chewing sessions, there are only minimal bite marks — enough to show he’s using it, but not so soft that pieces are coming off. That’s a good balance for him since some toys are way too hard and others are way too easy to shred.
The chicken‑foot shape is actually perfect for him. The “fingers” or claws give him different angles to grip, and he switches between holding it with his paws and chewing the ends. The curved design makes it easy for him to pick up and reposition without getting frustrated.
Material‑wise, the nylon feels solid and safe. No sharp edges, no flaking, and no weird smell beyond the light milky scent they mention. For a dog that chews aggressively when he’s bored or anxious, this has kept him busy without me worrying about pieces breaking off.
Overall, great size, great durability, and a fun shape that keeps my big guy engaged. Definitely a win for heavy chewers.

Indestructible as far as I can tell! Just wish there were more to it to catch my dog's attention!
I don't really care for these toys very much. While they most definitely are what I would consider indestructible, they just don't seem to be very pleasant at all for my dogs to play with. Don't get me wrong, I love the indestructible dynamic with these toys. The thing that I don't like is that they're just extremely hard nylon, which I always pictured nylon to be what the dog's collar is made out of, not this brick hard plastic. But I guess it's nylon that has been melted down and allowed to cool and harden, because what I thought these toys were made out of, was just some sort of extremely hard plastic. I have hunting dogs, there beagles and basset hounds and bloodhounds, that are all medium sized dogs, and they're not extremely aggressive chewers to begin with. They are fairly well ready to go when it comes to their teeth and chewing on things, but I would consider them closer to medium on the aggressive chewing scale. And their mouths are not nearly as big or strong as some of your bigger tougher breeds. But, they just seem to get real bored with these toys, really fast. And I'm sure that it's because they don't have any squeaks, they don't have any multiple textures or sounds that they make. It's just the one chicken foot shaped piece of extremely hard plastic. I guess my dogs are accustomed to having toys that have a squeak inside that they can look for, or some of that rustling paper stuff that they can make noise with, or something with various textures like a rope or some rubber or just something different besides stick of really hard plastic.
I guess these toys are probably ideal for your larger, tougher breeds that tear up those more versatile types of toys in less than a day. But I just wish that there was a little something more to it than a stick of hard plastic that's shaped like a chicken foot.
In my opinion the asking price for these toys is just not really worth it! I would not recommend this product to my friends and family!!

2 great toys
Set name: DinoBone 2-Pack XL
Great chew toy. It is wonderful that there are two toys in the order. Both of my large dogs like them. Pretty durable and these dogs chew a lot. Highly recommend.
