I have a 1 year old male pitbull that weighs 55 pounds and he destorys all toys. Will this toy be able to withstand his prianha teeth?

It would probably be able to withstand for a few weeks. We have a 1.5 year old 35 lb pit that gnaws on everything. She destroyed this and got to the red within 2 months. She chewed on it every day of the week for 4-5 hrs a day too.

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.

This toy is virtually indestructible. I have a 3 year old pit mix who shreds Nylabones like they are nothing and she hasn't chewed this up yet.

Michelle, if your puppy doesn't mind the weight of the Goughnut it would be great. Mine seems to think it's too heavy, so she doesn't bother with it... ours will last forever.

I've had one for 3 years and finally my American Bulldog [who weighs 85 pounds] found a way to get through the cover. Very pleased that it lasted that long. Buying two more today

My 1 1/2 year old male pit bull that weighs 80 lbs and destroys all toys has only put little punctures here and there in it after a couple months of daily chewing, so probably so. It's a great toy.

I don't know your dog but my dog destroys ANY toy or bone and this one lasts FOREVER!! Hes had it for over a month and you can't see any teeth marks. I HIGHLY recommend this toy.

I have a 5 hr old that obliterates ALL her toys in literally minutes. This toy when she plays with it shows no sign of damage. But I think it frustrates her a little as she gives up on it. Anyway it is still in one piece after months of off and on playing. AND the company will give u a new one free if yours does succeed. How can u loose? After all I spend an easy $100/yr on toys that don't last an hour. This is a no brainer.

I think this will be the only toy that will withstand pit bull gorilla strength!! It's heavy and durable yet smooth enough that they don't get enough grip to bite pieces off. Great toy for our 40lb pit- and my pit bit the wires off her metal crate!

My 30 lb terrier can destroy anything in about 5 minutes...including black Kongs. After two months the Goughnut is still in one piece. It does not show any tooth marks or gnawed spots. The shape and material make it hard for him to really get a hold of it in a way that he can chew it. He tries. He does like it and we play "tag and tug" with it.

I understand your concern, however my experience with this Kong Balls is that they are virtually indestructible. I have two adult male German shepherds that play with theirs continually, and have yet to see this ball shredded to ribbons like so many other toys. We bought this product about 8 months ago and its still going strong!

No. This ball is unsuitable for strong chewers. My parent's Weimeraner (73 to 75 lbs) broke the ball in a few minutes. Tugly kong toys are made of rubber & very durable. I put in peanut butter, kibble & some larger cookies into the tugly.

I have a dog with one of the most powerful jaws there is. To give an idea, a pit bull bite is rated around 250PSI. My dogs is about three times that. Almost nothing I give her lasts more then a few days. A very few things might last a month at best. These last 3-4 months IF and ONLY IF they are DEER antlers. Moose or Elk don't last... gone in a fraction of the time. The only other thing that can outlast that around here is a Kong ball (and ONLY the ball... any other shape and it's toast).

Not me, but my dog is more of a claw-er and less of a chewer. It seems pretty sturdy to me, I would be super impressed if your dog chewed out. My neighbor has the same one for his pitbull (who tore out a giant chunk of drywall) and it's withstood her tendency to destroy things.

I would say no, I have a pit bull that just turned one this month that I used this crate for and he chewed part of it off and bent the bars.

Yes, George, only mine did better than that...my 75 pound pit bull ate the entire thing (chewed it up - did not swallow whole) in about 20 minutes! I was actually worried about him, but it didn't seem to affect him at all. I will never buy him another one, though...at $1.00 per minute, not a very good value. If mine were the type to nibble or gnaw gently it would be fine, but my dog has one agenda and that is to completely devour, deconstruct, destroy whatever toys or treats I give him as quickly as possible. :)

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
1636636
yes! as long as you give them other items to chew. I give my dog a rawhide or bone to chew to ease frustration. Use it as a fetch toy and they should respond. My dog loves it. Its a tough ball.

I guess it depends upon the size and how aggressively he/she chews. My 16lb havanese loves to chew but hasn't ever tried to lift and chew the strong plastic grate. I love this product and think it's well worth a try.

This does give. The toy is rubber, so r hey bounce also. I have the little ring and the stick, neither one of my pits have caused them any damage!

It is more pliable than regular Kong toys but not so much puppy teeth could hurt it much, and I doubt my Eskie even with the adult teeth he has now could do much damage to it. Big dogs who are determined chewers might be able to make some significant dents in it but I doubt a Pug could. It's more appealing to puppies I think because it has just enough pliability. If you want bone hard, though, this won't qualify. A regular Kong would be better for that.

My 55 & 45 lb. Pit mixes are fine with them. The collar has holes almost the whole way around. You could cut the extra off as its just plastic. I saw them in UAE on pit bull puppies, certainly less than 30lbs. at a training session, so I believe they would be fine. My pit/hound mix responds to the vibration & the other is a little more stubborn, needing the static shock. I had back surgery & these collars allow me to control them both on & off the leash. It has also helped to stop unwanted behavior with only a couple of zaps.

Definitely. I have a large pitbull that ate through one of those extreme kongs without hesitation but as longs as there is a treat in the end she was more fixated on the treat than destroying the toy itself. It took her a few hours to eat the treat ends as well

I would say that it is much more durable than any other plush dog toy. For teething i would definitely get a big nylabone but if you're looking for something plush, you won't find anything stronger than this. My guys are small but extremely destructive and can amazingly destroy very large tough toys, but the goDog dragons last the longest out of anything I've found so far! Good luck and hide your shoes!

My Lab is 85pds. The medium or large should work. It is KONG strong and I don't think he/she can destroy it. My lab is a chewer and hasn't put a dent in it.

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.
