Highlighted Reviews

β€” Brianna

"I bought two of these tug toys as a Christmas present for two wolves one of the toy lasted longer then I expected and the wolves had a great time throwing them around. They eventually chewed them to pieces but they are wolves, what do you expect!"

β€” Elizabeth

"Do not bother with this. It lasted less than 2 minutes. Not kidding… first tug the head came off. Within minutes the squeakers were popped and worthless."

Bottom Line

If you are looking for a long-lasting, durable dog toy specifically for chewers, this may not be the best option. It seems better suited for occasional use or for pets that do not chew aggressively.
