NOT For Aggressive Chewers, Otherwise Great!
Style: I-Squeak Cone
Not for aggressive chewers. My dog had it torn apart in under an hour. It bounced and squeaked great, looked cute, and was a good size. I would consider buying this again for his birthday, because that's when I buy fun, more expensive but less great toys. Otherwise I would not buy again, because of how quickly he had it torn apart.

Super durable enjoyable toy for the Doggo
Style: I-Squeak Cone
I purchased this squeak toy for my Dachshund and he is very destructive. He can destroy a squeak toy like its his only purpose in life but he has had this toy for a few months now and he loves it. We play many hours of fetch with this and he has yet to chew it up or wear out the squeaker. He has not yet been able to chew any holes in it and plays with it for hours. One of the things I like best about it is he loves to hide his toys under furniture and cannot get this particular toy under the couch or entertainment center where he will bark non stop until you retrieve it. He plays with it at home and is perfect for our camping trips and trips to Grandmas as well and still comes back safe and intact.

Even my monster hasn't been able to chew through these in a few months, and he has destroyed one of the black Kongs in the same time frame.

Tough to destroy for aggressive chewers
Color: Wrench, Size: 8 Inch
My doggie chewed out stairscase, the sofa, my shoes, and would destroy anything labeled pet “tough” toys. This stopped her from destroying!! Soo cool and cleans her teeth too. I got this one as gift for other retriever fams! Super cool. Doesn’t smell bad and its lightweight but durable like crazy.
