I have a large 85lb Golden Retriever who loves tug of war but being a small girl have a hard time playing too long do you think he would snap this?

Make sure to get the XL, shouldn't have a problem and if you do, we will replace it for you.

My large PACK of german shepherds has hardly dented it in MONTHS of use. They did peel the coating off the post eventually but it still works perfect. It even still has the original toy! I do take it off & machine wash it once in a while and it even holds up to that. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOY! This is one of the pups playing with it, I couldn't lay my hands on a video of the big dogs using it but I have had NO issues at all! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cJ2LMXad90 And be sure to order the XL !

I don't think the toy is too small but there are some small pieces that your dog could swallow.

I have a 65 lb Golden and he can easily turn around and stand up without hitting his head. He isn't the tallest retriever in the world but a 70 lb lab should be just fine.

Maybe try kicking it for your dog to chase after. Maybe if you start out playing with it with him he'll become more interested & enjoy it. My dog absolutely loves it.

I'd definitely give it a try. Our ball is 2.5 years old and is the only one we've found to last with our rottweiler/pit mix.

I do not think it would withstand a big dog's play. It is not really meant as a dog toy. Hope this is helpful to you

Yes it probably would. Our dog destroys all toys in a matter of minutes too. We don't let him play with this when he is outside alone, because he digs up the gardens dragging it all over with his paws, and becomes so obsessed it just can't be good!! He is only 45 lbs., so I wonder if the German shepherd might do better with the large size.

My dog is about the same weight and I would call her a very aggressive chewer. This is by far her favorite chew toy and it has lasted way longer than I ever expected. It is chewed up pretty well, but she still loves it and it looks to last for a good while yet. You might want to give it a try. Good luck!

This is a very strong toy that your dog will not be able to chew through. It's amazing. However I think the size and weight of it may be difficult for a small dog to play with. Not sure what sizes are available but she may have a difficult time moving it around. Hope this helps.

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.

I have a 3.4lb yorkshire terrier and she hasn't been able to squeeze through. She's not overly adventurous though. If your little guy is pretty adventurous, then I would be worried about him trying to squish through, but in general I think it is fine for our tiny little ones.

Possibly so. We have a Labrador/Greyhound mix who hates to play fetch and is very iffy about toys. He does go after this Flirt Stick. He loves it. It might take a little bit of doing to get her interested, but she will catch on. Buddy (this mix I mentioned) can go on forever when running, but he only last about 20-30 minutes with this before tiring out. Deacon, my American Bulldog, can last for about 15-20 minutes with this before tiring out.

I have Golder Ret (85 lbs) and the fabric couldn't hold him. The rip happened in the fabric not the switches. So the fabric is not designed for large dogs. If your dog is 100lbs then this is not for you

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?

My dog is golden retriever, he's around 55 lb. Sometimes he can take it off by himself but not chew it.

Well, the only problem with this ball is that it has two holes in it (top/bottom). This would allow a dog to get their teeth into it as leverage for tearing something up. I wouldn't recommend this ball for your dog, given her track record! :-/

I think your dog would be okay with it. My dog loves Nylabones, but he's a 45lb vigorous chewer and this one wasn't tough enough for him. He was able to break off the tail, head, and little bumps on the body and unfortunately he swallowed some, which gave him severe diarrhea. So as long as he/she isn't strong enough to chew a lot off at a time and doesn't swallow any, I think she'd be ok. As far as the teeth problem reviews, I think there is always a risk in giving your dog a durable chew toy. They're tough. That's the point haha
