"I have a 1 y/o Bassador puppy that destroys everything he chews…except this toy! He's determined to destroy this ball so it certainly keeps him busy trying. Would highly recommend to heavy chewers!"
"I bought this toy for my 1 year old boxer mix that is a chewer. Unfortunately, she had it in pieces within 15 min and then totally taken apart within 1 hour. Being made by Kong brand, I had hoped for a stronger chew toy."
Bottom Line
If your dog is a moderate chewer, this toy could be a good fit. However, for very aggressive chewers, you might want to consider a more durable option.
