"This toy is made very strong, my 20 month Sheppard/lab plays with this all the time and hasn't torn it up and I've watched her try."
"My dogs loved the two I bought but they ripped them open in one week of playing with them, which was a waste of my money. My two dogs are medium size portugese water dogs. These toys are best for little dogs."
