"ordering a few more of these bc my boxer mix is absolutely obsessed and didn't want to destroy it. Now my lab mix is also obsessed but he killed it lol. So I'll always keep one around the house. This is also a water toy that survived the boxer fetching it from the ocean"

"I gave my dog this toy and within 5 minutes she had the edge chewed up. The yellow center is still intact but the black edging is frayed (see photo). I bought another toy manufactured by Kong at the same time and that one is holding up far better."
