Highlighted Reviews

— Julie

"I love the toys that have the ropes inside because it's less likely to spring a stuffing leak. So far this is one toy I haven't had to repair in the 'toy hospital'. It's survived tug of war and vigorous chewing from my 9 month old (55 lb) and 11-month old (95lb) lab puppies."

— Brenda

"My boston terrier is a pretty heavy chewers and had the stem of the pumpkin head chewed off in less than a day. Sewed up the hole he left and now he can play with it again. Kong needs to make more durable toys for very heavy chewers! Expected more from them."

Bottom Line

A great toy for most dogs, but expect a smaller size and monitor for heavy chewers.
