KONG SafeStix Large Breed Fetch Stick — for Large Breeds — German Shepherd, Labrador, Bernese Mountain Dog

KONG's SafeStix is a flexible natural rubber fetch stick that mimics the shape of a thrown branch without the splintering risk that causes thousands of large breed oral injuries annually from real stick fetching — a particularly critical concern for powerful retrievers like Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, and Chesapeake Bay Retrievers who catch sticks mid-air and clamp with full bite force. The 25-inch length in XL provides a satisfying throwing lever for owners while the 1-inch diameter safely fits between large breed molars without wedging. The flexible natural rubber composition absorbs the impact of aerial catches, reducing tooth fractures, and the textured surface provides gentle gum stimulation during gnawing. Floats in water for aquatic fetch; dishwasher safe for sanitization.
