How durable is this bear, could it be used as a dog toy.

No. It's soft and snugly and would probably make a huge mess. It's ment as a kids snuggle toy or Disney collectable :)

Hmmnnn...I am going to suggest "no." Just because of the stuffing; I think it has "beans" in it. Also, it smells like strawberries. I am not sure how long it would last with a big dog who likes to rip stuff apart. But if your dog just needs a cuddle bunny then it's perfect! It's got the cutest expression on its face! :)

It seems fairly durable and will stand up well to walking around and laying on it, but if your Husky likes to chew things, I don't see it withstanding that.

It would probably be able to withstand for a few weeks. We have a 1.5 year old 35 lb pit that gnaws on everything. She destroyed this and got to the red within 2 months. She chewed on it every day of the week for 4-5 hrs a day too.

My dog was about 55lbs and 6 months old. He ripped all the little squirrels open, more like chipmunks really. He likes to pull out the stuffing. He didn't ingest anything, just shredded the chipmunks. The tree is still pretty much intact. The jumbo size doesn't have bigger chipmunks, just a bigger stump that has more chipmunks. My dog loved this toy.

The stuffing appears to be the same polyester angel hair material that you find in most of the stuffed dog toys. The cover can be zipped off and is washable. I have 2 Vizslas that rough house in it and on it for the past year so, I would say its durable. There is a peice of plastic that holds up the entrance which my dogs removed in the first hour of use and in hind sight, i thing the bed is better without it. Marc in Va.

It will hold up to it being "pawed" at. If your dog decides to chew it that is a different story. I have bought 3 of them and rotate them from the freezer for my 7 month golden. I use a pillow case to cover it after I take it out of the frezzer.

I think a large dog can easily get it opened and then chew on the parts. This really is not a toy for a large dog. I am going to give mine away to someone with a small/medium size dog.

My German Shepherd pup has had his Beaver for 3 months now, and it's still going strong. It really depends how rough your dogs are. It's a lot more durable than most stuffed toys, but don't expect miracles :)

Doug, our 8-month old great dane, hasn't chewed on it either. He does give a good yank on it when he wants to go outside and it is holding up pretty well. He hasn't ripped it nor torn off any of the bells. I think it's pretty sturdy.

My dog outgrew the kong without destroying it, and she's quite a chewer. I took it out of her toy collection (she loves toys) because I was afraid she would swallow it whole. I found another one out in the yard recently that was sort of cracked and dried out from having been out there for a few months but overall they're really sturdy.

So far it's still in one piece it has a few tears from him messing with the dog and it being foam. He has had it now about 2 weeks bit doesn't play with it everyday either. It really all depends on how much it's played with

I don't have bears. My thoughts are that they are strong enough to tear through nearly any strength plastic. If they want it they will eat it.

Yes. I have a 2-year old Shepherd-Pit mix I adopted three months ago, and she didn't waste any time chomping and gnawing on everything she could. I went through about $175 worth of different toys she destroyed within 24 hours, but so far, the West Paw Jive toy is intact! I learned that part of the trick is giving my dog daily walks/exercise, and alternating different chews and activity toys that keep her busy chasing, chewing or trying to find treats. Good luck!

My dog picks this toy up and carries it around and I can barely see any teeth marks on it.. She hasn't chewed on it though... I do think it would hold up to chewing! It's thick plastic and my dogs love playing with it! Keeps them entertained for at least an hour.

It depends on the dog. Mine is a pittweiler and loves to play rough. We have wood floors and he would pick it up, shake it and toss it on the floor. That's what ended up breaking the toy. Also it is plastic so he kept grinding away at it which probably wasn't healthy. Hope that helps!

Sure, pretty durable. As long as he : she doesn't rip it off apart, it's a great toy!

I was it weekly and have had it for six months (for my dog) It is holding up very well. As long as the puppy doesn't chew it up it should be fine.
