Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

So far, my 8 month old, 105 pound Newfoundland puppy is a master destroyer of all things, including all of the "indestructible" toys like the Kong Extreme (BTW: NOT indestructable). She's had this for 6 months and I just had to lay it to rest yesterday and order a new one. Maybe 6 months doesn't sound like a lot to other people, but to me, it's borderline miraculous. I will say though, it only lasted this long because she saves her concentrated chewing for her rubber and plastic toys, which she pretty effectively annihilates on a regular basis. This she merely carries around, fetches and tugs. This is a product that I would highly recommend and it's a toy that my Newf would definitely miss if it weren't replaced...it's practically her favorite toy. To address any preceding or proceeding reviewers bemoaning the fact that their dog chewed this to pieces, let me just say that This. Is. Not. A. Chew. Toy. It says so in the product description. This is a "tug and toss" toy. Of course your Pitbull or GSD (or whatever) ripped it to shreds after chewing on it for 10 minutes, because that is not what this product was meant for. It's longevity depends more on your dog's personal chewing habits than anything else. If your dog doesn't like to tug or play fetch with it's toys and just immediately goes to town trying to destroy whatever toy is given to it, this toy will be ruined. That doesn't mean that this is a bad toy, it means it's not being used as it's meant to be. Also, there is no such thing as an indestructible dog toy. My Newf chews on the fire hydrant in front of our house and it's no worse for the wear. If you're looking for indesructible, I'd recommend a fire hydrant.
