Highlighted Reviews
"We've had this over a week and my dog hasn't destroyed it yet (unlike most toys). Tug o War is fun with this toy."
"This item was advertised for tough chewers but that is not the case. Our golden retriever chewed through the streamers or whatever you call them and rip them in half in less than 10 minutes. This is for a small dog or dogs that don't have a strong bite force, it's misadvertised."
Bottom Line
Consider alternatives for tough chewers. If your dog is a light chewer, it might hold up.
