How many others bought this toy and their dog destroyed it in 30 minutes?

In less than 5 minutes, this was a pile of string and fuzz. Super disappointed - Kong's name usually means a more sturdy toy. I'll be contacting them in regards to this item.

The fabric started unraveling while the 2 dogs were tugging. 1 dog 70 lbs the other 40 lbs so not huge by any means. Once the fabric started giving way the dogs just chewed it up and the weaving disappeared.

Same here, American Bulldog took just few hours...he loved shaking it but once it unraveled in middle....gone within 30 minutes...had to remove so shreds did not get in his stomach.

Mine took about an hour before it was destroyed /: with two dogs tugging on it (one 50lbs one 70lbs)

actually our Pembroke Welsh Corgi who was about 5 months old when I bought this toy for him, took about 2 weeks to really make it unacceptable to play with. The center "rope" area gradually became unravelled and then too loose to have him chew on. Overall it was a great toy for the time it did last. Super for chewing, shaking and fetching.

Our 65 lb. American Bulldog/Pit Mix destroys most all toys including some of the Kong Rubber ones. Got this one for him in December and he has just now destroyed it. But, I might add, he was only given it occasionally and did not "tug" with it daily. He loves it though and gave me that sad face when I tossed it in the garbage. I will purchase him another and hope that I can make it last a while.

Mine did but it says it's not a chew toy. I just ties it back together and he still uses it. It's his favorite!!

one of my 4 dogs is a chewer and totally destroyed it. It did take him a while, but - yes, it is not impossible.

This is not a dog toy. It is filled with both cotton and beans. The eyes could come off and your dog could swallow them or choke. There are lots of appropriate toys for dogs to play with. This is NOT one of them.

No. Its a solid toy; dense rubber. Determined chewer won in less than a half hour

I don't know. The toy lasted about 15 minutes before it stopped turning and now it can only go back and forwards

Hi- no way, it was a horrible experience for my 19lb Schnoodle! Do not recommend! I sent mine back.

I ordered this toy twice and both times it was squishy. You have to have a dog that chews but doesn't tear or it wont last my dog loves to just chew without biting through but my mother-n-laws dog just ripped it apart.

It is a big toy, about 2 1/2 feet long. I have a Shepsky (shepherd/husky). My daughter has a Yorkie and Yorkiepoo. Two little dogs share the toy & love it. My Shepsky walks around with it like a kid with a blanket. Larger dogs will destroy the head...eventually...and unstuff it. That is pretty hard for the little dogs. My friend's dog, a coon, looks for the toy as soon as he comes over. They love it....all those squeakers.

I suggest you look at a different pet carrier. This item is not durable enough even for my then 8 month old cockapoo. He was able to rip right through the screen. And the seller was not willing to refund or replace.

I'm not entirely sure if a German Shepherd would destroy it that quickly - I bought one of these for a lab/pit bull mix and we played with it every night for at least an hour...as far as I know, it's still intact & usable. Like all toys that you want to last longer, make sure this particular toy isn't somewhere your dog can get at it & chew up when you aren't playing with it.

My dog removed it in about 35 minutes. If you wanted to remove it, you would have to take it apart at the seams and restitch it, I think.

Yikes - sorry that was your experience! My 11 month old shepherd/husky (65 lbs) took about two months to really damage his first, and about as long with his second.

I am wondering the same thing. My Lab had it solved in less than one minute. He still likes it when we fill it with treats though. We have purchased a few other puzzles and it seems that they are all too easy or easily destroyed. If you have a dog that has a big mouth like a lab, I would not recommend buying any of the ones made of particle board/wood.

Don't purchase this beaver. my 2 dogs had it torn to pieces within 5 minutes. I love Kong rubber toys but their plush just do not hold up

Our Lab chewed a hole right above the squeaker, it only took her about 10 seconds to do that. The squeaker fell out so I threw that ball away. Pit Bulls and Labs are notorious chewers, so never ever ever let them be alone with any toy other than a kong. A really fun thing to do with these balls is to throw them up onto your roof and when they come down, they bounce all directions, and they also float, so you can throw them into the ocean or lake for her/him to retrieve. We have about 4 of them and they are our Lab's favourite toy. I have other suggestions for toys that are almost indestructible, but never trust them alone.

We have one of the hardest and most active chewers I've seen. She literally destroys toys within minutes but this has lasted beyond what could have been expected. She chews on it, tries to tug with it, and is not very kind to it and it has held up.

It's a very hard plastic ball which is too large for your dog to bite that they play with in your yard. If they push the ball around with their teeth, as in biting at it as it rolls, it will wear their teeth down. 3 of my dogs have severely worn down teeth because of this ball. Had I known this I would have NEVER bought it. I posted pictures on one of the Varsity Ball postings.
