"This hard rubber Saguaro Cactus is awesome...our two puppies love tugging and chewing on it. They have worked it over for hours and it stands up to their abuse. They even play tug of war with it. The squeaker is good, but the squeak from them chewing on it is better. One of their favorites alrea..."

— Nellie

"My 80lb American Bulldog tore this to shreds in 3 minutes. He is a heavy chewer although. It would be nice for a smaller/medium dog or a dog that doesn't like to be destructive and think dog toys are to shred into a million edible pieces."

Bottom Line

It's a solid investment for most dogs unless you have very aggressive chewers. Go get it!
