GoughNuts Maxx Black is the newest addition to our large breed line of chew toys.  The GoughNuts Black is named after Max my 13.5 yr old Great Pyrenees (seen on the home page!) that has been an enormous part of our family.  The GoughNuts Maxx was designed for those very few power chewers that have been able to penetrate our existing GoughNuts Black.  In general, the GoughNuts Maxx will be too large in size for most dogs.  I simply wanted to have a larger size toy, making the toy tougher to chew though, so that the handful of dogs out there, that need this size, have a safe chew toy.  The Black is stronger and more durable than our Original Green GoughNut illustrated below in the physical data test report.  The GoughNuts Black incorporates the original GoughNuts green but then adds carbon technology to enhance strength.  GoughNuts Maxx Black is recommended only for extreme chewers.  The GoughNuts Maxx Black is guaranteed as is all of our GoughNuts line of chew toys.  Please refer to our Guarantee section. 

Below is a test comparison between our GoughNut Black and our Original GoughNut Green.  Please understand that regardless of how strong or size of any chew toy, certain dogs will chew through it.  Therefore, our two layered patent pending safety design is incorpoporated in our GoughNuts Black.  The two layered patent pending design gives a clear indication when the Goughnut Black Maxx turns color from Black to Red it is time to take the GoughNut Black away from your dog.  Every GoughNut toy is guaranteed and when any red is seen, this indicates that the diameters of the toy are damaged.  Please read the entire patent online to understand the details of our two layered patent pending design.  Always monitor dog chew toys and take the toy away when damaged.  

Please note that the The Original GoughNut has a cross section of 1.75".  The GoughNuts Maxx has a cross section of 2.1".  This additional cross sectional diameter in addition to the overall size of 6" versus the 5" in the original, almost doubles the weight.  Physical properties shown below are measured in PSI or pounds per square inch.   

The test results shown follow ASTM methods D412, D2240, & D624 (seen in sections 9.01 & 9.02)

The GoughNuts Black properties are higher.  The hardness will hold your dogs jaw open more than the Green taking leverages away that lessen the dog's power.  The higher tear strength and tensile strength testing show the GoughNut Black increase in physical properties.

Our goal is safety.  The additional of carbon technology incorporated with the GoughNuts base recipe allows for the additional strength of the GoughNut Black.  Please adhere to the two layered patent pending technology.  Please take your GoughNut away if your dog can chew through the Black or Green layer to expose the Red.

Please send and or post your pictures of your dog chewing on the GoughNuts Maxx.
