""I've been buying Tuffy's toys for my pitbulls for years. These toys are the longest lasting ones for heavy chewers. I even make small cuts in the material to stuff treats inside and these toys still last for many months and provide hours of playtime tug-o-war.""

— Joseph

"Bought this for my Standard Poodle who is a heavy chewer. Chewy had recommended it as a durable toy. He loved it, but it only lasted 1/2 a day before he had torn it to shreds."

Bottom Line

If you have a heavy chewer, consider a different type of durable toy. For casual chewers, this toy can provide hours of tug and play.
