Based on the reviews, this toy is not durable at all for dogs that chew, so it may not be suitable for aggressive chewers, though it is suitable for gentle teething puppies and fetch play.

Can this toy be used for heavy chewing?

This toy is not suitable for heavy chewing. It is better for fetch and tossing but will not last long if a dog tries to chew on it.

Highlighted Reviews

"My little dog was so excited to get a new toy and after 5 minutes he already has a hole it. Plastic is VERY!!!! Thin and not made for CHEW-TIME as in description. Great for fetch, tosses, chew-time, and solo play is deceiving"

Bottom Line

If you are looking for a chew toy, this product may not meet your expectations. It is better suited for fetch or solo play. Alternatively, consider products specifically designed for heavy chewers and smaller breeds.
