Big and Squeaks and Tough BUT Dog Destroyed it in 3 days!!
Size: Tripod
The pitbull who is an agressive chewer LOVES this and it squeaks! Highly recommend this large sized chew toy. BUT in 3 days the dog destroyed it. It is now in 6 pieces. But it still squeaks. I guess I can't recommend this because it is NOT durable.

Great chew toy
Size: Tripod
This is great and my dog loves it. He is 7months old and is a golden doodle. He loves to chew and was starting to destroy other toys. This is great for him to get to chew and it makes noises so that keeps him engaged for a while.

Holds up really well under an extreme chewer
Size: Dumbbell
My dog is only 18 lbs , he can chew through anything. This little not so little chew toy has held up really well and keeps him occupied... although the blue rubbery part does break off in little tiny pieces it is not breaking off in big chunks, it has lasted more than 2 months at this point. He has been able to put some dents and dings in the plastic Center, but again considering he destroys everything in a matter of moments I'm very pleased with this. Quality is good, and he likes to carry it around the house... also found out if he turns it it makes a funny little noise which keeps them entertained. Perfect size for my dogs. The wait is Hefty enough that he knows he's carrying it but not so big and weighted that he doesn't enjoy it.

Won’t buy again
Size: Tripod, Size: Tripod
It started out great. But then it came apart and my puppy almost swallowed the piece that makes noise. Otherwise, it’s been a good brand of bones. Just not this particular one. The end unscrews and came apart. Not great!
