Bottom Line

If you're looking for a fun, rocky toy for serious chewers, this may not be the best choice. However, for dogs who enjoy fetching and aren't too rough on their toys, the Kong Flyer is a solid option. Some users recommend considering another toy if your dog tends to chew on things or is too short, as this seems to hold up well and bigger than usual remodeling.
