Factors: chewing habits, dog size
No, the toy is not durable enough for heavy chewers and tends to break quickly.
"My dog loves this toy! Good quality for a tough chewer."
"I gave this to my pit and she destroyed it almost immediately. I expected more from Kong but I think the nature of this being a rope toy maybe made it more susceptible to breaking. Every other Kong product has been good."
Due to the significant durability issues, it is not the most stable option in these kinds of toys. We suggest avoiding this product for those looking for longer-lasting, safer options for pets.
