"My 14 month old Belgian Malinois destroys every toy ever made within minutes. This toy, however, seems to be indestructible. He has been carrying this around for weeks and it is still intact. Besides being indestructible, he seems to love this toy and chooses it over every other toy in his 'toy box...."

"My bulldog is a moderate chewer and was able to destroy this in 5 min. I think it would be a great toy for light chewers."

Bottom Line

A fun and tough toy for lighter chewers, but be aware of potential durability issues with heavier chewers. Purchase with caution if your dog is a heavy chewer.
