Not a good toy for a hard player/chewer

My dog LOVED the crunchy noise but the outter ball tore very easily and was then trash. Bummed out she loved the toy.

Kong toy's usual are very durable and this one is not.  My 5 month old British black lab had it in torn apart the first day he had it.

My dog ripped a hole in this toy within 5 minutes.  I was very excited to purchase this for him, because he loves soft toys but they never last.  Unfortunately, this toy will be placed in the graveyard with the other soft toys that he has killed.

My 6 month old lab/pitbull mix pup had this toy shredded to bits in less than a day!  Not a good toy for pups/dogs who love to chew!!

Tough but not tough enough. My dog made a small hole in it within 15 minutes of playing with it. That hole was then used as leverage to create a much larger hole and I had to throw the toy away.

I wanted these, not to stuff into another toy, but for my mini dachshund to play with. She LOVES squeaker toys, but is quite ruthless with them.  The reviews for toughness had been decent and so I figured I'd give them a try. MIstake.  In less than 2 minutes she had punctured the first one, and in less time had the second one totally ripped apart. The last one I'll put inside a larger toy to try to buy it a minute or two more. Not a good choice for enthusiastic dogs.

When I searched this item in Amazon, I searched for toys for agressive chewers; this came up so I ordered it.  My pup has had this item for 14 hours( eight of them he has been asleep) and it is completely destroyed.  I am no longer able to tug on it with him as he has torn off the knot at the bottom and the rubber ball is gone; he is now working on the second knot.  I am extremely disappointed in this toy.  I would send it back but it is in shreds and pieces so I see no point,.

Our 6 month old pup is hard on toys. We were hoping this might last a while, but the wattle was chewed off in one minute (not an exaggeration).
Second photo is after a few days. The manufacturer says they will replace one toy per household within 30 days. This one is going back but unfortunately we purchased several others of the same brand.

Was excited about this tough toy, but gave it to our 96 lb puppy who tore the rope apart in less than an hour. He is usually really good with toys that dispense treats but this time since he couldn't figure out the pulling, because it wasn't really working, he just decided to chew the rope. Threw it away because it was also too noisy and scratching up the wood floors.

Received ball today. Weasel was attached with a plastic tie (like the ones that hold tags on clothes in store). I have 2 doxies and they were playing with it for about 15 minutes before the weasel was detached. The button on the ball keeps getting pushed in and stops. Really had to put strength into turning the balls two halfs together because it kept coming undone. The detached weasel lasted 1/2 hour before we saw its fur on the floor.  Not a durable toy for pets. Would not recommend

I bought this toy for my pitbull who is a SAVAGE with all toys. She can literally tear apart anything, including solid rubber lacrosse balls. I bought this hoping the "indestructible" claim would hold up, and sadly it did not. Within two sessions of chewing (total of about 1 hour) my dog had already bitten through to the red rubber core. (GoughNuts says you can send the toy in for a free replacement, which I plan on doing.) She did seemed challenged with the toy, but in the end her jaws of steel vanquished this little black doughnut.

After reading such glowing reviews as "best toy ever" I decided to give this a shot. My large dog needs sturdy toys, and this one does NOT fill the bill. About five minutes after removing this from the package to play tug with it, pieces started falling off. Not a good start. The toy is large but not durable, and not worth the money.

I got this from a pet store over the weekend, and Tuesday morning my dog (15lb) chewed it up and trashed it. Note that she doesn't play with any toys and don't chew things at all. So I put a dog treat which was a little hard to get because I wanted her to play with it. In order to get the treat out, she was holding the ball down with her paws and pulling the rubbers with her teeth. One of the hole got ripped at 4 different sections in 30 min. I thought the package said it can be a treat toy, or did I miss use it? Either way, I wouldn't recommend it for a chewy type of dogs.

I really wanted to love this toy.  It was much larger than expected (good for us) and seemed very tough.  Right out of the box the our two Labs loved it, carried it around the house, and couldn't get enough of the squeakers.  No more than 30 mins later it was ripped to shreds.  The stuffing was everywhere and it had a few missing body parts.  I was disappointed and felt like I had just thrown $15 in the trash.  The reason I purchased this toy was because it advertised strongest for aggressive chewers.  Not for us and I do not recommend for Labs.

My Corgi had a lot of fun playing with this toy for about an hour, after which he had shredded it to pieces and begun pulling out the squeakers. Not recommended for aggressive chewers or dogs with 'razor' teeth like mine.

I was under the impression that this toy would hold up to chewing and aggressive play. The toy was in bite size chunks after 0ne play session. If your dog has teeth I would not recommend this toy.

not for a dog that chews a lot. My dog LOVED this toy at first. It made a great sound. But, with an hour of consistent chewing, the plastic in the middle was crushed into a small ball and stopped making noise. Another half an hour and the outer casing started to rip. My dog is not a "power chewer..." for the sake of comparison, I will say that the regular (red) kongs suit her just fine and lost a long time-- she does not need the more heavy duty (black) ones. Still, this toy didn't come close to lasting. It's a shame because she really liked it for the short time it held up.
