"Very durable and works for a 32 lb bulldog tugging with a 90 lb lab! Still have it in one piece after a yr."

— christina

"My furball had the ears chewed off in about 10 min (I then trimmed them) and the tag. I thought we were then safe and good to go. Within the next play session, she had chewed off the blue on the curve of one of the pull sides. I think she maybe had a grand total of 25-30 minutes with this toy before..."

Bottom Line

A good choice for casual play, but be prepared for frequent replacements if you have an aggressive chewer.
