"My Lab loves to hold toys in her mouth while walking around the house.. Of course they get soggy. But this toy is very durable even if wet no fuzzy pieces come off like a plush toy. I have found this to be a very safe toy."

— MetalFan11

"It’s far from durable 6 hours after giving it to my dog the 'teeth’ were falling off, squeaker broke, and bout an hour later had a hole that had to be fixed. Not sure what happened, this is not the GoDog I bought before."

Bottom Line

If you're looking for a durable toy for an aggressive chewer, this might be a good option. Just be aware of the squeaker issues and consider them a short-term feature. Otherwise, it holds up well against heavy use and is safe for dogs to chew on.
