Most Tuffys are great, but avoid a few
My dogs are very heavy/tough chewers. Most of the Tuffy toys are well made and stand up, but some don't. Here's the rundown:
Recommend these:
- Ultimates Tug-O-War: Had this for over a YEAR and still holding up strong (no tears at all).
- Lobster: Had it for over six months before it finally succumbed to canine teeth and tug-of-war battles. Worth it!
- Turtle: After a year of heavy chewing, tug-of-war and knawing...it finally gave way. Well worth the price.
- Crab: Still going strong after six months of heavy chewing and tugging.
DO NOT BUY THESE:
- Lizzy Lizard (DO NOT BUY): The mouth is the weak spot. My dog tore into the mouth and had stuffing everywhere within an hour.
- Shark (DO NOT BUY): Similar to the Lizard, my dog tore into the weak spot (the mouth) and had stuffing everywhere within an hour.
- Wesley Whale (DO NOT BUY): There's a soft spot in the belly, my dog had it open and guts everywhere in less than 24 hours.
- Polly Pig (DO NOT BUY): All of the stitching is heavy duty, except for the now...right where my dog had it opened in less than a few hours. There was no bacon inside. :(
- Octopus (DO NOT BUY): This one lasted a few days. Eventually my canine companion busted through the head.
