I bought this and the lion. The lion is still in great shape. The elephant my dog did finally get a hole in and gutted it to get the squeeker ( that's what he really wants) after that he just plays with it throws it around tugs with a rott with it. And it still does look like a flat elephant. I love them! He is a strong chewer to. Like any toy after a good while they do finally come apart but I am gonna keep buying them as I need. I think its a great toy! I hope this helps. P.s my dog is a German shepherd so its got a lot of dog to with stand

I have terriers as well so I know what you mean about rough play - this is still a plush toy it just has two layers the lower one being a "tougher layer" but she does manage to find the fluff - when she does it's lights out for the plush. I'd say they last about 3 weeks for her now that she's figured them out but the dog I bought this for is small - only 12 lbs so if your dog is bigger and likes to chew on them I don't think it would last too long.

My terrier mix chewed it up in about 2 days. I find that the only thing she can't tear up as fast is the Kong balls. All of the other toys she will get the stuffing out of.

Unfortunately this toy (Elmer the Elephant, KONG Cozie) did not last very long once my puppy got her adult teeth around 4 or 5 months old. Up until then, it lasted a pretty long time (about 6 weeks), longer than any of her other stuffed toys, but it really depends on how rough your pitbull plays. I do think these toys are stronger than most other stuffed toys, so it might last a decent amount of time.

My dog loves to play rough and is a lab mix. He chews everything to bits. I have to say this is very durable to an extent. My dog chewed the tail to bits and the ears are mangled. But everything else has held up. The ears and tail is just the material itself no stuffing so that was the good. I didn't care if the ears were torn or the tail. No stuffing to pick up, the body itself held up and is still holding up. And it will be a year this toy has lasted. He loves the color, something about it draws him to it. So, if you do get it just know they seem to love bright colors.

I have a chewer. She got it for her birthday (3/17/13) and it still squeaks. A few small holes but still squeaking which is what keeps her going. Even went through the wash once.I have a 50lb basenji/husky.

My dog pulled off and tried to eat the ears off this toy in under three minutes. I do not recommend, particularly unsupervised, unless you want an ER visit.

They are pretty durable, but your dog can definitely tear it apart if she wants to. My dog will chew more aggressively on nyla bones and be more gentle with the stuffed toys to hear the squeak. They are made nicely so you can cut off an arm or leg and the seams will keep the rest of it together. Huggle hounds are more durable (but way more expensive).

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

Patsy, Yes it is! We have a HUGE Lab & he chews it constantly no rips or tears.. We also bought him the Kong Extreme Goodie Bone/ Large/Red, Kong Extreme Treat Ball/Large/Red & the Kong Extreme Dog Toy/Large/red. He cannot destroy them! I hope this helps! Good luck!

The pound guideline seem unusual. Scroll down mad look at the dimensions of the toys. Those will give you a better idea of what size to get. We have a very chewy Beagle and she tore off the end within a couple days. IF you gave a dog that like to tear things apart I would look at a different type of toy.

This toy is 100% durable. I have 2 pitbulls and they destroy everything! They live this toy! But careful if you're keeping it in the house! Probably will put a Dent in your wall

My 60 and 73 lb pitties haven't destroyed or even damaged these yet and I've had the toys since early summer. I routinely have young foster pit bulls that use them too. On my 3-4 black kong in same time frame. This and west paw tux, ball are favorites and all last!!! The gonought stick is indestructible but so heavy they won't play with it.

I don't personally have a pit bull so I don't have personal experience there but my dog is a very strong Malinois and is a heavy chewer. He has never destroyed one of these balls.

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

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!

I recently bought a Cuz and it seems to be holding up better than the last fish toy I bought. I will note that my dog doesn't love the Cuz like she did the fish, so the Cuz is getting less chewing time, so that is a consideration. The Cuz seems to be a harder rubber.

Yes the material of the pack is durable, I have a rowdy 11 month old American pitbull terrier, and he has tried chewing on the pack numerous times, I always stop him ASAP, but the pack has never even gotten a scratch on it, I put it on the dog, and immediately leave for a walk, and when we get back i immediately take the pack off. I don't know where it was made or assembled.

i dont have a pit bull but i do have a very aggressive chewer named buddy...since i bought these must be 4 months now he has yet to go thru them, what i do find is the spot right above the squeaker is the weak spot tho..but he has not chewed thru them, i do play with him and supervise him when he does have them tho and make sure he is not alone with them...they are great and last a really long time, i used to use the dura play balls, but i can no longer find them, thats when i found these and i love them....good luck...

They are certainly one of the toughest on the market though the handle is its weak spot, my 7 month old Chessie had the handle almost chewn off before I took it away from him. He plays great with the regular ball though so that is what I'll stick with.

I definitely think it will last you a few years. My jack russells managed to jump over it easily at 6 months old so if your dog is a jumper, you might want to reconsider

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.

We have two "KONGS" and one male and one female, both young and active. No problems with shredded cardboard. After 3 weeksthe scratchers show little wear and I believe the cardboard insert can be turned end to end and flipped over. Both cats used the KONGS from the first day and every day. My guess is that they will last 6 months or more and well worth the money!
