Best Dog Toy For German Shepherd (Jan 2023 Update)

Got this has Christmas gift for a pit bull. She has chewed on this at least 4 hours a day since then. Hasn't put a mark on it. And when she stops my other dog chews on itErick

We have all three colors of large jive balls for our very destructive goldendoodle chewers! The jive ball is a win win at our house! Every other toy does not last a day. WESTPAW has stellar customer service and I tell everyone I know about this company. I highly recommend the jive ball. IF they had more toys as strong as that ball I would buy them all. I look forward to seeing new future products. THANK YOU AGAIN WESTPAW! Finally my boys have something to play with!Barb G.

From the moment Belle’s jive ball got here it’s been her go-to ball. Belle, who is a registered wrecking ball, destroys or eviscerates every toy (if you consider my Furnature a toy) we’ve introduced to her. Not the jive. Our trainer, Marty Strausbaugh of Pawsitive Training, suggested your company and specifically the jive ball. And boy I’m glad he did. I confess I use it in the house when the weather is inclement. I bowl in across the living room thru the dining area into the kitchen over and over and over again. I wish I had a video to show but I can’t bowl and photo at the same time. I’m including a picture of Belle, the Vizsla wrecking ball, just so you know what she looks like. Our other dog, Rhett Butler, is content with tennis balls for dogs, but Belle takes the toupees off of them and eats the rubber. God bless you and your company for serving the needs of wrecking ball dogs and their wrecked parents. Donna~forgiven child of GodDonnaDee D.

I have an American Staffordshire Terrier and an American Pitbull Terrier. As other owners of these breeds can likely attest they can pretty much destroy anything short of steel and concrete. I purchased all sorts of toys for my pups and nothing lasted more than ten minutes before having to take it away and through it in the trash due to being torn to pieces or in the process of. I bought toys from Kong, Supper Chewer, Bully Make and others. Every toy except for the standard Kong Cone and a rubber soda can made it. My wife found West Paw and I gave them a shot. These toys are fantastic! They have lasted for months! They are so good that I can actually let them play with these unattended. Take my word for it, if you have a doggo that can chew through anything then these are the toys you need. Now, if West Paw would just make a crate pad out of this material and I would be in paradise.Kerry R.

I bought the small toppls and my two cavaliers love them. I've used it at dinner time with soft foods and some chopped up pieces of prime100 and it kept them busy for a good 7-ish minutes (which is much longer than the few seconds it usually takes them to practically inhale their food). I love that it can be used with kibble as well as a treat dispenser (although you need to buy two different sized ones to do this). Overall very impressed, but I would recommend waiting until they're on sale to buy.smp

These are amazing. We're in the process of diagnosing some GI issues with our 8 month puppy, and she's on a very limited diet and can't have any treats, chews or bones. It's a terrible age to not be able to give anything but prescription food. She can't be trusted with soft toys or rope toys, and has no interest in kongs or other rubber things. These are perfect for keeping her busy. We pack her kibble and some wet food in them and freeze them. They take her a good 30 minutes or more to finish, and she has yet to damage one. Plus, they're super easy to clean. I just throw them in the dishwasher!Michelle

This is awesome for feeding frozen raw! My lab just loves to work at getting her frozen dinner out and it takes her ages to eat. (In a normal bowl, it would be hoovered up within seconds). Easily takes up to 130g raw.pages_unread

Got this toy on a whim from the store and my guy (40lb all-around-mutt) loves it! I filled it with dry treats that are a good size that wouldn't fall right out and he had the BEST time trying to work it out. He shook, tossed, chewed, and flung this toy all around the living room and it kept him busy for at least 20 minutes. Not the longest compared to others I'm sure, but a world record in this house! My dog loves puzzle toys and loves to work for it, so your dog will have to be like that as well. I can see my parent's dog not enjoying this since there would be no immediate rewards and I think my sister's dog (a BIG chewer) might not get as much fun out of it since she might rip it to bits. It is durable, but not THAT durable for the determined pup. I did notice him get his lower jaw stuck in the top for a split second, but the toy is easy to bend so he was able to pop it right out on his own (it's always good to supervise your dog's playtime!) If you have a dog that enjoys the struggle of a puzzle toy, I would definitely check this one out!Katelyn O.

Let me start off by saying my partner and I LOVE West Paw! Great company with a great mission and amazing sustainability practices. We love the Toppl and wanted to love the Rumbl, but unfortunately on the very first use(we purchased size small), it got stuck on the bottom jaw of our 16 pound King Charles Cavalier. If you have a small to medium size dog with a small, narrow jaw, then I would not recommend this toy. The tabs in the top of the mouth got stuck to his little teeth and hurt him a bit to get off. We will unfortunately be returning this one and opting for another puzzle toy for feeding. Luckily, West Paw has a great guarantee policy so we will continue to be customers for life! We would love to see a smaller version of the Rumbl for toy sized dogs!Kayla

It’s great material and fun for my dog when I put nut butter in it, but I was hoping the holes would be much smaller than they are. My dog is very smart and has food allergies so finding treat dispensing toys that make it tough to get to snacks is ideal. This one the hole is too big to have it be a challenge. We bought the small. Please make another version with smaller holes.Jessa F.

You needed a bigger size. Generally, I would recommend sizing up once or twice anyway. The smaller ones are too small and not as thick of material therefore easier for any size dog to tear up. Additionally, if the toy isn’t full of snacks, take it away. Don’t let them chew on the toy itself just as a chew toy. That is another reason why the toy may get damaged. If the dog is focused on getting the snack out, they’ll be much less focused on destructive behaviors and tearing things apart. If you have a puppy, remember they teethe and it HURTS. They self sooth by chewing. Give them things it’s okay to chew on/destroy like Nyla bones (which seriously last forever even in strong determined breeds). Last thing to mention, is that if you really want to go with indestructible, prefer something that’ll keep them busy for a lot longer periods of time, then get the weighted feeder kong balls. I put some dog food into ours along with some soft small very strong smelling treats and my dogs work on this for HOURS. It’s how they get their meals or at least part of their meal each day. You can fed the whole meal this way if you want. They come in different sizes but the biggest size has worked perfectly for all of my dogs (weights range from 35 to 150lbs). They knock it over and the snack or treat falls out of a little hole. Then they keep working on it little by little, it’s really a great option for keeping them distracted! Just be sure to take it away when they’re not using it anymore so they don’t learn to guard it. This is true with any toy, treat, bone, or food. Offer a few times a day then take away when they’re no longer interested. Free feeding is one of the worst habits to start and makes it difficult for owners to tell quickly when something is off with their pet. I learned this the hard way! (Google this if you don’t believe me) I would still consider these Kong balls to be indestructible IF you use them properly. I have huge, strong dogs, a sharp toothed and very busy heeler and both have had theirs for 4 years without incident and not even a puncture mark into either one. I filled with “mini” milk bones and broken in half “small” milk bones but just read another reviewer said they freeze theirs with pnut butter and treats inside. Sounds messy but sounds like a great idea! Cant wait to try! Hope this helps!Momzymo

Amazing! Amazing at entertainment for my dog. Love how we can stick big treats in there and keep him busy whenever we have to leave the house. I think it's a must for training your dog. Be sure to replace it whenever there is damage. As I know a friend's dog had a piece of Kong stuck in his intestine and had to get surgery to remove it. So best to keep the toy until you notice any wear or tear. I like how it has multiple sizes and has really good durability.. this is a really good investment for your dog! We have found many creative ways to entertain our husky/German shep/malamute mutt who has high energy and high affinity to treats. 10/10 would recommend. There's also some Kong specific treats you can find meant to fit into the toy to make it very difficult for the dog to remove it. We like that there is a lot of creative ways to use it. We had two on rotation for when our puppy was teething and needed a lot of attention. Frozen treats allowed for the pup to work on the kong. We use it at home mainly but we do bring it over to our friends house when our dog is staying the night because we are out of town. It's just another tool they can use if they find he needs to calm down and focus instead of rambunctious and playing.terri.n

This is the old classic rubber Kong dog toy. I have the regular size and the small size for my boxer and for my Boston terrier. Its shape causes it to bounce in random directions. My dog absolutely loves this toy. I've put everything in that thing. I have broken up some single ingredient treats and stuffed them in Kong. We refer to my dogs as having ADHD, or a very SHORT attention span, but not with this toy they absolutely love it!! . I put treats as well as peanut butter bananas or yogurt then put them in the freezer. The freezing slows down their ability to clean out the inside quickly so the game lasts a little longer. The rubber is hard enough so they cannot chew through it yet soft on their teeth and gums. The hole is large enough to easily fill the inside as well as wash out the inside after use. Definitely buy multiples so that there are some in the freezer ready to go on those hot days or on those days that you just need a little time to get something done while your dog is occupied. All in all I completely recommend these toys for all dogs of any shape and size.Ysabel

This ring was the best investment! My pup goes through most chew toys in minutes as she LOVES to chew. This ring lasted a little over 7 months before she got to the red “safety” layer. I sent it in for the guarantee (paid shipping both ways, around $15) and got a brand new one! My pup has been chomping the new one for almost 2 months and it’s going strong. HIGHLY recommend for pups that love to chew! I want to mention that it is fairly large and heavy (my pup loves to swing it around and it has a somewhat frightening loud drop – but you get used to it). It also smells rubbery (because it’s a really high quality rubber) and now my pup thinks things like erasers are her toys. But with those things in mind this is one of my pup’s favorite toys and I will now forever have a goughnuts (maxx 50) ring for her to chew!lizzie.p

I liked that this chew toy was durable and had some weight to it, but my dog doesn’t play with the toy at all. I believe this is the toy he could not “destroy” and didn’t want anything to do with it. It did have a rubbery smell, so he might have been turned off by that, but it was a waste of money for me. I would recommend this chew stick to anyone with larger dogs that have a big bite, because I’m sure it definitely let’s them enjoy themselves more.katrina.s

This is an amazing product, tough, good size & well made. Mabel my dog took to it right away….and then…..when it wouldn't break up or fall apart – she wasn't that impressed. HOWEVER – as her other toys are getting ruined & chucked, there is less choice for her & she is having another "go" at the GoughNut. So not overly satisfying for her at this early stage – but VERY satisfying as an owner. I can see that in no time – this will be her only chewing toy remaining & it will last. Currently I use it as fetch play with her & she very happy – and it will become part of her routine in a short while I think. GREAT VALUEErica

Bought this for my 6 month old dalmation who loves to chew. Wasn't expecting much due to the low price but boy was I surprised! This toy is very sturdy, durable, and very strong. The fact that it squeaks is an added bonus as far as she's concerned, and the fact she hasn't been able to get through to rip out the squeaker in weeks now is an added bonus for me. It fast became her favorite toy and she plays with it for long periods of time.Lynn

Our Shephers/Husky pup loves this chew toy and it's great for her teeth too. i would highly recommend this if you have a large breed aggressive chewer.KATHLEEN

Great, durable dog toy. My dog loves this toy and plays with it everyday. I would highly recommend this, especially to those with medium to large dogs.Christine

It was definitely strong for his teething teeth BUT there was no real flavor to keep him chewing. He lost interest in minutes.Susan

This is NOT a puzzle toy. The treat compartment is wide open, anything you put in there falls right out. Even frozen concoctions. You may as well just use an ice cube tray. I contacted West Paw for suggestions of what might work, and they recommended all their other models. I don't think so…Marty W.

Great, durable toy for enrichment eating. Just fill with food or yogurt and freeze. Mine have been used daily for a couple years and still look like new, and they’re dishwasher safe too.Lizzy

This toy was a hit knowing it was made USA, that information was #1…. Our black Lab is a toy chewer til they are destroyed, she loved this toy and was chewing and chewing from different angle and kept at it for a long time, then laid next to it and slept, happily. I think you could she her smiling.susan s.

I cannot rave about this brush ENOUGH! I have a Pug, so as any pug owner can tell you, THEY SHED, and they shed like a big dog would. This brush is incredible for any short haired doggy. When you use it, brush in a circular motion and you can just watch all the loose hairs come up. I was shocked the first time I used this because the amount of hair that it picks up and takes off is nuts. I had been using a regular brush at first for short haired dogs, now I combine the two. I start off with this to loosen the hair, and follow with the regular brush to pick up anything that comes off. This is a miracle brush. It helps to reduce the amount of shedding as well, anakansha.m

OK, I have been humbled. I see you did post my review I wrote last week, where I gave this item only two stars. Well, my dog kept bringing it to me, so I did put in some snacks. They did have to be bigger, so they wouldn't fall out of the big hole all at once. My dog had so much fun with the holder and we use this every morning at 10:30, which is her "treat" time. I have changed this to 4 stars, please delete my last review, if possible. My dog taught me a good lesson…don't make quick decisions, you may have to eat crow.Teri

If you have a small breed, this is the Kong to get. It is a little softer than the regular Kong, so it makes it easier for a small breed to get to the yummies. We have a 12 lb. chihuahua mix and she would give up with the red Kong but this one keeps her occupied – frozen apple with some peanut butter or frozen green beans with a little peanut butter – a "pupsicle" that keeps her occupied doing a natural dog behavior.Walktadawg

Hard plastic expensive ball. I thought I was ripped off at 1st look until my German Shepherd took it over. This and the 6' version are her 2 absolute favorite toys and she spends hours herding them around the yard every day They keep her very entertained and physical.Dino

I actually got the 8" one I believe. I had an old one that was 14" and it was great. I wanted a smaller one for my puppy, but it is very light weight and does not dribble well. I suppose it will hold up, but it is not made as well as my old one. It could even be a different company. I have had my big one for about 15 years. The old one could get run over by a tractor and not break.. Can't say that for the 8" one.TERRI

My German Shepherd LOVES this ball. She has literally destroyed EVERY other “tough” toy and ball. We got this one for her July 2021 and it is still going strong. It is her favorite toy and she will play soccer with it nonstop for hours!Trish Wilson

My small terrier can chew through any toy that is 'guaranteed' to last in about 30 minutes. But this one has held up for lots of chews and he really enjoys the variety of play that the toy affords. It's a large toy, but my 17 lb can still get his mouth around the small ball and the cloth tails are strong.Ric B.

This product is fantastic and my dog absolutely loves it- its shape, the tassles that he loves shaking, and the squeeker. It would get 5 stars if it were even tougher. My (large, powerful, chewer) dog breaks part of this toy within the week of having it. It's overall structure lasts for quite a few months, but he could definitely use something even tougher.esberri

My dog loved this toy. However, he\'s a power-chewer (big, 9-month old Cane Corso pup) and the fabric portion did not stand up to his aggressive play. The rubber portion is in great shape, though. I really wanted to love it but I definitely have to buy specialty toys for my guy.Eva

The only toy my dog hasn’t ripped to shreds. And for reference, he has ripped up the regular red kong. Plus, it keeps him entertained for hours. The trick is to stick a bone or other chewing treat in there that’s just a hair larger than the opening, so it really takes so work to get it out of there. We usually take it away from our dog after some time so he never gets bored of it, and we stick it in the fridge (to prevent mold growing on the treat) and give it back the next day. CAUTION: If your dog doesn’t finish the contents within a few hours, always clean the toy out or stick it in the fridge. Kongs can be a breeding ground for toxic mold as half eaten treats and perishables can stick to the edges or be forgotten in there. We’ve seen some friends’ dogs suffer seizures due to this. But take care of it and you should have no issues 😊 Also be sure to monitor your dog’s intake of treats if you like to stuff this toy to the brim. It can fit enough treats to make any dog’s stomach upset, so limit how long they’ll have access to it.sonia.a

We have two medium to large sized pitbulls and we are overprotective of them… Paranoid they will hurt themselves with a chew toy is probably a better way to explain it. We have strong chewers and we have seen too many toys in the past not make it and almost get consumed (our biggest fear). kONG toys are THE best for strong chewers. We've had our kong toys for years, fill them with treats and peanut butter and for the most part they look as good as new. We never saw a KONG toy get ripped apart or almost consumed, NEVER. Very happy and highly recommend.erika.d

This Kong toy is the Best dog toy for big dogs that play hard and, chew. It stands up to the most aggressive chewers that I've had experience with. Owning American Staffordshire Terriers I needed a tough toy! This delivered. They would chew on toy, play tug with each other. I'd throw it and, they loved how it bounces all over the place making it even more fun to play with. You can stuff them with milk bones or peanut butter. They are so tough, they stood up to me running them over with the lawn mower lol, That should say it all for durability. Kong makes Awesome dog toys that Hold up! Most definitely recommend this productjennifer .p

I purchased this on a whim for my three year old Siberian Husky. He tends to be a super chewer and absolutely destroys cloth-based toys. As such, my husband and I usually stick to strictly hard, chew-resistant items. This toy ended up being the exception; it is a soft, rubber squeaky toy. I wanted to try it out, because I was curious how my dog would like the texture of this item, since it's quite spiky. Turns out… he loves it! The extra loud squeak sound plus the unique, porcupine-like texture makes it a fun object for us to play fetch with. We've had this for over two months, and he has not destroyed it. While I would not necessarily recommend this as a toy for dogs that are heavy chewers, I think this is a decent toy to test out with your pup. It's very affordable, and the bright colors make it a treat to diversify the toy box.SmoothieQuota

What a beautiful red dragon!! Ruby the Red Dragon has such vibrant colours of red & gold that no photo can truly due her justice!! She's so soft and cuddly as well, & great to take on any adventure! She's very durable and easy to clean & care for, too! If you have a dragon lover in your life of any age ( or are one yourself) 'adopt 'Ruby for them today! You won't be disappointed!donahar-0

He is very cute, but he can't be patted, as my granddaughter had hoped to do, because there are hard ridges/lumps all across his back – sewing irregularities as he was being assembled? – so he is fine for sitting on a shelf for viewing but not for cuddling. I normally buy her stuffed animals that I have inspected and selected in person for suitability, but with Covid-19, in-store shopping was not an option. Not a negative toward the Tack Room – they are just the marketers, not the producers of the possum. But I won't be buying any more stuffed toys on line from any source. For future purchases I'll wait for stores to (eventually) reopen.Constance R

Percy, the porcupine, will be loved and adored by my grandchildren during their visits. Percy will have to assume the personality of dozens of characters in the childrens Play-Acting which they write and Film scripts for, filming on their phones and played on the TV for the adults.craftsm1n

I've been buying Nylabones for every single one of my dogs for over a decade now, because they are the only toys that last longer than a week! I have an AmStaff, a Pittie, a Chihuahua, and a Chi-Pin and all 4 of them have the same veracious chewing habits. My small dogs strangely prefer all of the larger Nylabone models meant for bigger dogs over the teeny tiny ones meant for them, lol..don't ask me why, but they do! With daily usage from all 4 of my dogs, they tend to last anywhere from 9-12 months, until the big dogs whittle them down to what I call "shanks" (they tend to get a bit pointy/jagged on whatever end has been chewed on more)..and then once they become too small & unsafe for the big dogs, I just remove them and give them to the little dogs in another part of the house [away from the big dogs], and they continue enjoying these "nubs" for another 9-24 months. That being said, these "nubs" don't get chewed on daily by the small dogs since they prefer the largest/most intact Nylabones in the house lol. I've tried soooo many other brands of toys from multiple pet stores/other big box retail chains over the years, but these are the only consistent and affordable chew toys I've been able to find over the years..not to mention, all of my dogs LOVE them! The only other toy my dogs have not managed to destroy is their original Kongs, but literally, everything else typically gets destroyed within just a few short minutes-just a few days. For those worried about the dogs chewing off little pieces, that's kind of the point of these bones….why do you think most of them are flavored, lol..?? It's made of nontoxic ingredients that are safe and easily digestible, so I wouldn't worry about that. In my 14+ year tenure of owning dogs (esp. ones that are hardcore chewers w/ super strong jaws), NEVER have any of my dogs, no matter their size/breed, ever had any issues w/ digesting these bones..so fear not, fellow canine lovers! 🙂 Highly recommend ANY of the DuraChew Nylabones, esp. for dogs who are super orally fixated/hardcore chewers!!tboytrey

My boy loves this chew toy! I love this chew toy! They last a really long time, (at least for him) and they hold up really well to all of his shenanigans with it. In the 13 years I've had my dog I've only had to buy 3 of these, and one was bought only because he dropped it into a river while on a boat. It goes everywhere with him. Doesn't shred badly and he seems to enjoy the taste for the duration of it's life.dawn.m

I have tried all sorts of Kongs, smaller nylabones, soccer and rubber balls that my two dogs can't even get their mouths around, and they still find a way to destroy their toys. Anyone who has a power chewer knows that some dogs will chew with the front teeth to find a spot to tear open. Though this particular nylabone is large and expensive, it has held up to both my dogs' chewing for three months now. So far, they haven't chewed either end down, though it can get rough on the edges. No toy is permanent, but if you are looking for a toy that will last, this is one. I've seen reviews where people could not get their dogs to bother with this toy and thus rated them low because they spent the money on them. All I can say is that is not the manufacturer's fault. Some dogs just do not like certain chew toys. These nylabones are blocky and heavy and probably not meant for a small dog or one who doesn't like the weight to carry around. The product description states that it has a chicken flavor. One thing I will point out is that if it does, it does not have an odor that I can smell, unlike many other toys that have flavors infused in them. I'm sure that's a tactic to appeal to the dog more but for mine it doesn't make a difference. I'm just glad I can't smell it.' Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with these Nylabones and will buy them in the future if the ones I have ever break down.Jess01

never thought i would ever review a dog toy but here I am. : ) In short this is the best toy I have ever had and I have had dog(s) my entire life. How good you ask? Well it gets placed on top of the refrigerator every night or the dog will wake up to play a solo game of fetch. A 3 a.m. we wake to the sound of squeaks and growling. (He growls when joyful ) I have had the dog 8 weeks, the toy 3. I am going this week to buy 3 more. Life has been hard for this 4 year old pound puppy and I don't want him to have to live with the nightmare of having to live without this wonderful squeaky toy. He loves it with all of his heart.brebinohio

Kozmo Kornelius King of the Woods of Rainier Loves to carry his bone around all day chewing and squeaking, never letting it out of his sight. This is so durable, he usually destroys similar toys with ease. He has tiny teeth, and a tiny jaw that is so powerful for a little doggy. He carries the bone and ball to his food and water dishes, only setting it down long enough to eat and drink. He talks to it, please don't leave me while he is eating or drinking. He carries it and his Dura play ball to bed with him, and always has them in his sight.Kozmo Kornelious

Often when I’m ordering a grocery delivery, I’ll peek at the dog toys just before finalizing my order. I have a 7 month old puppy, and while he certainly has enough toys, I’ll often grab something inexpensive to add to his pile and keep him entertained. I wasn’t 100% sure about this toy, since he’s never had a rubber chew toy, just plush ones, but such a low price, I figured we could try it out. And he LOVES it. See, he’s only 8 pounds and unlikely to get much bigger, and while he’s got some formidable little teeth, he’s jaw strength is relative to his size — not much at all. This rubber toy is filled with a super soft foam and a squeaker, and it was soft enough that my little guy could squeak it on his own — which is a big win when we can find a toy that works so well for him. The foam filling also gives it just a little weight, enough that he likes thrashing it around and showing off. And then there’s the shape… it’s great for unpredictable bouncing, so good in fact that my pup decided we needed to play fetch with it — and I hadn’t even taught him to fetch! He just loves the way it bounces all over the place when I toss it on the floor, so he grabs it, squeaks it, and hops back up on the couch to give it to me, so I can throw it down for him to chase and catch again. Such a simple toy, but it’s great quality and lots of fun.JDTX

Our dog loved it,…he was very excited with it. He's a pit bull bit is usually fairly gentle on his toys. But this one only lasted about 2-3 play sessions of him squeaky and chewing on it, before he tore part of the end off. So that was the end of it. Otherwise it seemed like a nice toy. We have a small ball version for our little dog and its been great so far. Maybe the ball shape would have worked better for our big boy, so I ordered one for his size to find out, since he enjoyed this one so much. But if your dog is one to tear toys up easily, I definitely for sure would not leave them unattended with this type of toy.Tab

We bought this yesterday, and our Labrador loves it! If we squeeze it softly with the squeaker-hole pointing at her nose, the bacon smell is extra strong and she goes mad over it! She loves to lie down and chew the ends of the bone, but it is very durable – no holes. The inside of the bone is soft, which means it bends, but the outside is very tough and stands the vigorous chewing. Our dog also loves the squeaker, and is often seen lying down happily chewing and squeaking. I highly recommend this product!Bonnie

My miniature labradoodle bit off the top the day after we received it, did not last. Not what I expected from a Kong toy. Hesitant to spend the money on another Kong for her after this failed purchase.KristinaM

We thought this toy would be really fun for our labs and a great way to entertain them. The older one doesn't care for it. Our younger one keeps getting her jaw stuck in the teeth of the toy trying to get any treats we put in, and then it slices up her bottom jaw. We've had to stop using it for food dispensing and only for playing with.ESho

Love the kong rubber toys for our dog, they're the only ones she can't immediately chew through. Our last Leo lasted over 2 years before needing replacing. Great product!KayD

My friend got her one of these. She loved it. We would tell her to go get her guy. And this was always who she chose. She loved him. We lost him in a move. I got her a new one. Now normally, it takes her a bit to get acclimated to a new toy. Nope! Ordered him, opened the box and he was torn from my hand. She was JOYOUS to get her guy again.Bunkysmom

I bought this for my daughters rescue dog and she really loved it. I've gotten all the sea creatures for our dogs and I think it's a good value. They are still intact which is rare at my house!Emilie T.

Purchased toys for both my daughters dogs and mine for several years now, repeat shopper. dog.com sends merchandise quickly, well packaged. I have never found any defects. Their prices are unbeatable. This Kong toy, octopus dog toy is very sturdy and my 2 matipoos enjoy playing with it. My dogs are 12 lbs each and moderate chewers. Its nice to find a toy that I can grab and they can play tug of war without having something too rough on their mouths. I have have great experience with Kong toys, sturdy and enjoyable items. the only thing I would mention, is that I ordered Large, even though my dogs are 12 lbs, because it was recommended by Dog.com that this toy runs small; they were correct…the toy is perfect in Large for my dogs. Will order from Dog.com and Kong again for the doggies !Barbara
