Highlighted Reviews
"This is my 15 mo old pups favorite. She is a small dog with razor sharp teeth. She absolutely loves it . Every once in a a while she’ll pull threads out of the end. I cut them off and away she goes."
"Each end that was sewn on was a strip of fabric that he took right off. So I had to remove all of the stuffing and he was left with the tube which he is still enjoying but eats off piece by piece of the fire hose which I thought was supposed to be. Tough, but not so much."
Bottom Line
The Outward Hound Firehose Squeak N Fetch Dog Toy is a decent option for moderate chewers but may not hold up for aggressive chewers. Buyers should be cautious about the durability and consider it for smaller dogs with gentle chewing habits. This product has been very difficult to deal with for some of my pals who have pets and shush them for wanting to rip destroying the product. For light to moderate chewers, it's worth considering, but for heavy chewers, it may not last.
