Goughnuts Maxx 50 Ring Review (2026)

Goughnuts Maxx uses a patented two-layer rubber design: black outer shell for durability, red inner core as a visual safety indicator. If your dog reaches red, the company replaces it. For true power chewers who've destroyed everything else, this is the end point.

The full review

The Safety Indicator System

The outer black shell is the chewing surface. Beneath it is a red rubber core. If your dog reaches red, the toy is compromised and Goughnuts will replace it under their safety guarantee. It's the only chew toy on the market with this kind of built-in safety system.

Power Chewer Categories

Goughnuts rates toys 0.75 (average chewer), 1.1 (moderate power), and 1.8/2.4 (extreme). Maxx 50 is mid-tier Maxx. If even this gets destroyed, try Maxx 100 for the most extreme chewers (50+ lbs).

Quick verdict

What we love
  • Visual red safety indicator (green outer, red inner)
  • Company replaces it if your dog reaches the core
  • Vet and trainer recommended for power chewers
Heads up
  • Expensive for a single chew toy
  • Some super-power chewers can still destroy it
✓ Buy it if…

Extreme power chewers who have destroyed every other toy on the market.

✕ Skip it if…

Moderate chewers who don't need this level of durability — it's overkill and expensive.

Tucker's bottom line

The best power chewer toy available. The safety guarantee and built-in indicator make it worth the premium price.

Common questions

How do I claim the replacement guarantee?
Contact Goughnuts with a photo of your dog and the destroyed toy showing red inner core. They ship a replacement promptly.
Goughnuts vs. KONG Extreme?
Goughnuts Maxx is more durable than KONG Extreme for true power chewers. KONG Extreme is the better option if your dog can be engaged with treats — Goughnuts is pure chew toy.
