β€” Dragons

"We received one of these for our dog at Xmas and it quickly became his favorite toy. He even will find it to take to bed. Though it’s still in incredible shape two years later we thought we should get a back up for the time, if ever, it wears out. We looked everywhere and couldn’t find it except..."

β€” Nope

"I gave my golden/lab mix this toy and within 5 minutes he had broken the squeaker and put two holes in it. I'm very disappointed after spending $13 on this toy that's purpose to have it last longer than other fluffy toys."

Bottom Line

While some dogs love this toy, its durability issues make it a risk. It's worth considering for smaller dogs or those who don't chew too aggressively.
