Failed the 30 minute chew test

My Australian Cattle Dog mix is a powerful chewer but is also always in need of new and exciting toys to keep her engaged in play. While this toy was not exactly advertised as a chew toy (more of a play with humans toy) I needed to make sure it passed the chew test to be safe to leave out in the yard. We have tried a lot of toys with her and have figured out that if it lasts 30 minutes without damage, then it's gonna be a good one. This toy did not pass even 5 minutes! The dog had chewed about half way through the toy in 3 or 4 places. And the toy material is tricky, I could not see the damage until I twisted and bent the toy to open the bitten slits. The toy got returned to local store for a replacement. Now we just use it for fetch in the yard and make 100% sure she does not have time to lay down to a good chew going.

I'm giving this toy 3 stars because
1. It does not meet the claim of indestructible (which I recall from the store package)
2. Strong chewing dogs must be supervised 100% with this toy and toy has to be put away after each use
3. BUT it is an AWESOME fetch and tug toy!!!!
4. Company will honor replacement of your first damaged toy. (kinda like a 2 for 1 deal)

My 19lbs shiba inu is chewer, no doubt. I want to buy him things to chew on and play with, but he gets things into pieces so fast that I worry about ingestion if I look away for even a few minutes. His tiny little jaws got all the way to the core in less than 1 hour of chewing. He loves it--don't get me wrong--but I'm about to trash it because he's pulling off pieces of plastic. So bummed.

I am very disappointed by this dura chew. I Was under the impression this dura chew could withstand the toughest chewers. I was proven wrong. We've had it for barely three weeks and my 20.5 pound poodle mix is chewing off pieces of this plastic bone and ingesting it. Is this supposed to happen?

Can someone from Nylabone or someone who's used it or an Amazon rep pls respond to this?

Thank you.

The bag of food was extremely hard for my daughters Adult Pit Bull to chew. I'm not sure what they do to make it so hard but it's just ridiculous! I'm sorry to say I feel as though I wasted 39.99$. Make the kibble a bit smaller and not so dang hard. Oh she even tried putting in a bag and smashing it into pieces, that doesn't work either. I don't recommend buying this food unless your feeding a Bear!

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 puppy chew it so it drop off from the food bowl.  I just tried this for 3 days and stopped.

My lab mutt,  47 lbs, destroyed this in less than five minutes... :(

I bought this 3 pack for my 3 dogs. So here is their review:
Beagle - enjoyed for 2 hours and hardly put a dent in it, probably would gnaw on it forever, simply loved it!
90lb Irish Wolfhound - got the largest bone, within an hour she gnawed it to a tiny piece that was a choking hazard.
GSD puppy - showed no interest in the treat. I even gave her the one the beagle started, still absolute lack of interest,even though she's an avid chewer.
Very disappointed.

I was disappointed that this did not last 30 minutes before shreds started.. Not as strong as a nylabone. Will not purchase again. Not for strong chewers, the shards get stuck and my doggle kept trying to "clear" her throat.

My puppy chewed it for about 10 minutes before she tore a hole through it. She isn't a strong biter either.

My little dog busted one open in less than 30 minutes so I can't leave them for her to chew on

I'm pretty sure they made my dog have terrible diarrhea. It was the only new chew he had and he was sick for 2 days. They also smell like a dead animal. My furniture and my dog smelled after eating them.

As the review title mentions, I am so terribly disappointed.  I purchased these Vetri-Probiotic soft chews back on June 15th, 2011 looking so forward to receiving them and starting one of my 4-legged kids on this product. To keep the background as brief as possible, some awful people are dropping animals here at my home (surrounded by farmland in the country) during the middle of the night, and all of these precious animals have been hours away from death due to severe starvation and dehydration. One of these sweeties, is now named "Daisy."  When she arrived, she was 99% bald, almost appearing as if the fur had been burned off of her and her skin was bright red, clearly inflamed and very painful. One of their breed's problems is they have very sensitive digestive systems and it doesn't take much to make them get sick. I am a huge believer in probiotics (for us humans too!) so I ordered these for her. The first week to 2 weeks went great - her stomach seemed to be OK, she enjoyed the taste of these soft chews as if they were one of her treats and then I would give her normal favorite food. Unfortunately after about that 2 week point, she refused to eat any of these chews and began getting sick stomach. Once she stopped eating the chews, the sickness stopped soon thereafter. I don't know what happened all of a sudden but something did. After not giving her any for 2 weeks I tried to give her 1 more to see if she would eat it and she refused. It sat there for days and she wouldn't touch it. So I am really disappointed. I am glad so many other reviewers have had great experiences with these. I would actually recommend these to people just to try out. But if your dog also has a sensitive tummy, just be aware that it could make their tummy upset. I started using "Animal Essentials Plant Enzymes & Probiotics 300 grams" as a replacement (it's a powder kept in fridge) purchased here on Amazon as well and so far that has not caused a problem. I personally use less than the dosage listed on the bottle and I only mix it in with her food once every couple of days or so instead of every day. I really do hope these soft chews work for you like they have for so many others, but if not, there are other options you could consider like the powder I mentioned.

I sincerely hope this review helps you. Much love to all those great furry kids out there! Any questions, please feel free to ask in the comments section of this review. I'd be glad to answer if I can.

It took less than 30 seconds for the dog to bite off a piece. luckily, he did not swallow it.

Dog chewed through half of the thickness of this chew-resistant leash in the 4 minutes it took to get from the kennel to my house. Maybe its my fault to fall for the possibility of a leash that is chew-resistant.

Well the good news is my 30 pound strong chewer dog LOVED it. When I gave it to her she took off running with her new treasure. 30 minutes later I found her in the yard with one end of the bone already gone. The bad news is it's going in the trash now as I don't think she should be swallowing any more of it.

My 20 lb dog ate a chew in 15 minutes. I was expecting this to be a bit more "long-lasting." Maybe these were made for chihuahuas?
