"While Pokey does seem to be well-made, he did not hold up. Our 55-lb. dog is a serious chewer, and in just a matter of minutes, she had chewed off his tail. "Durable" is a relative term."

If you have an aggressive chewer, consider alternative toys. However, for less demanding dogs, it can be a good choice.
