I have an aggressive chewer. Will he be able to tear these up easily? I'm tired of buying play toys (balls, ropes, etc) that last less than a day.

If your dog is a very agressive chewer he will distroy just about any ball you give him. These are strong rumber balls and depending on the size of your dog you may want to try to bigger model and only use them when you play with him if he retrives the ball and returns the ball to you. If you let rip away at the ball at his leasure, in time he could distroy any ball, no matter how strong.

My dog is a VERY aggressive chewer, destroys things within minutes. Has had one of these balls for couple weeks now & no signs of punctures!!

My 30 pound dog chewed the end off a kong. He destroyed in 20 minutes a squeak toy made of fire hose that the store owner guaranteed me he wouldn't be able to do. While he does eventually destroy these balls they last a long time. We play with them a lot and he chews them a lot. Usually the first thing that happens is a round spot the size of a nickle pops out but the ball still works fine. I can usually get several months out of a ball before he destroys it completely. We usually lose them before that.

My lab loves to chew and she loses these before she so much as dents them. We've had one set over a year.

I have 2 aggressive chewers, a 115 lb. 10 yr old golden retriever and at 12 lb. 7 mo. old mini doxi mix, both can destroy indestructible toys, beds, blankets, you name it, in less than 24 hrs. They've had 2 diff sizes of these balls for about 3-4 weeks now and both look the same as the day I opened them. They play with them regularly, so you should get more than 24 hrs. out of them. My tiny dog can carry the very large one of these around also. He shreads a normal tennis ball in a matter of minutes, these he can't. Thankfully, they've worked for us.

I have two aggressive chewers. I had one of these balls destroyed within a week. I am trying out equivalent balls from Planet Dog purchased at my local pet store because the store owner said that I can get a free replacement for any "Five bone" Planet Dog toy as long as I have my receipt. My goal is not to have the local pet store owner go broke.

Not easily. These are the most durable balls I've had and our dog destroys everything quickly also. If he's left with them alone to chew them for hours he might chew through but we use them for retrieval and he gets lots of chewing then but he doesn't get them to chew alone.

Nope. They are very durable. They will puncture and lose some bounce, and my Lab chews constantly. These are the only balls he does destroy in a minute. He has some that altho a bitted ragged are months old. Certainly well worth a try.

I don't know specifically about one of these balls with your dog, but if you use it for retrieving it should last a long time. My dog chews on it between every so many throws and it will last for months if he is not allowed to have it alone. At some point almost all balls will fail without "adult supervision." I will say categorically that these are the best and toughest rubber balls I've experienced with a dog. Mine LOVES these.

they tear pretty easy/clean so they should be ok to do so (not sure if they would whole though because i don't have that toy)

I've never had "Cuz toys" but my dog plays quite rough with her toys. This is literally the only toy that has lasted!

Yes! I have a weimaraner who loves to tear apart any toy he has. He loves hard runbery things and this is his favorite toy. We have replaced ours once... because he lost it in the back yard. He had it for over 6 months and hadn't put a dent with it. If your dog does manage to tear this toy apart, the company will replace it for life for free.

They should hold up to chewing just fine however they are easily displaced from the holder (which I personally like, makes it easier to remove for adding food, washing, etc) so if you think they'd play around with them.. maybe go for something that locks in.

I think it would depend on the size of your dog and how aggressive he is. The material has held up very well for me. My dog is 10 pounds. He has turned the play pen over a couple of time, which prompted me to put bricks around the inside to hold it down. That worked.

I have two labs one is 8 yrs. and the other is 7 mo. each can devourer a veggie dent chew in less than 5 minutes. Why not try bully sticks they last much longer.

They aren't soft but not extremely hard either. Sometimes I split them in half when giving multiple treats and they break easily so it could be something you could crumble up for your puppy. I hope that helps.

My puppy started ripping the seam...he loves the squekies so I have no problem with him tearing them out..but he does tear out stuffing..I removed stuffing and crinkle in toys...and he is just as happy with them..He loves Marvin..he shakes him..and then at night uses him as a pillow..just open the seam and take it out if it is a potential problem for you..JK

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!

My lab is a really agressive chewer and this is why I buy these 3 at a time. He chews the heck out of them but they last much longer than any other chew toys that we have gotten for him. He chews them to the point that they don't resemble the original toy, but they are, by far his favorite chew toy. I will continue to buy these for him.

I have a toy poodle puppy and he has already taken a sizeable chunk out on one Kong...he only gets the new one with a treat and as soon as the treat is eaten the Kong it's put up...I'd be wary when making a purchase ...possible that the really big ones are stronger?

They'r soft and do squeak. After some initial play, our ball had trouble re-inflating (we had to manipulate it back into shape). The material isn't as high of quality as the squeaky balls that come in packs of 4 at Petsmart. We have a Border Collie and this ball wasn't durable enough for her play needs.

I haven't really had a problem breaking them. My dog is a Beagle and likes to just chew on the bigger pieces. Good luck

I'd hesitate to give a definitive answer as "aggressive chewer" is somewhat subjective but I can tell you that I have a Rottweiler who usually destroys toy in a matter of minutes and this thing lasts her weeks including occasional bouts of tug-of-war with my parents Chocolate Lab when we visit over there. I feel like I definitely get my moneys worth out of this purchase.

So far my aggressive chewer has not destroyed it. Like your dog, my dog shred almost any toy in minutes. I am very pleased and planned to get a couple of more. I don't feel like I am flushing money down the drain.
