German Shepherd love these. Eventually she does chew through them if left alone with them. I do think they last a long time as long as you don’t leave with the dog to chew on. Great toy to get the dogs energy out.
We have an 85lb pittie that has an insatiable appetite for fetch, but isn't super great at the release part. We saw these used by a trainer we follow on social media & they are exactly what we needed! We ordered the 1st pair in Feb 2020 & they work precisely as advertised - the teeth "dent" the rings but don't puncture it. We just ordered a 2nd pair because our pup did end up chewing through one - but that was our fault. As advertised, these are NOT a chew toy and they are fairly easily destroyed if you allow them to be used as such. But somehow, they are still durable enough for a game of tug! Our pup is now OBSESSED with his rings! The pair is perfect as he brings one back & immediately drops it when he sees the 2nd one in your hand. Perfect toy for fetch, jumping & tug!
The purple puller ring is one of my blue heeler’s FAVORITE fetch toys. I bought the first set at least a year ago & they held up well to almost daily fetch and tug sessions. The rings show a lot of teeth marks which does not affect play. It holds together and holds its shape well. Charlie plays very aggressive game of tug with our boxer Kimber & will play fetch all day if you let him. He loves to carry this ring tossed over his head like he’s wearing dental head gear. :)I’m very impressed with the durability & the way it gives under their teeth has to be gentler on their teeth than harder plastics. I cringed a little at the price when it was time to order new ring, BUT I reminded myself of of how much Charlie loves and plays with this and how incredibly long the last one survived. Considering all the other toys I’ve thrown money at that were quickly destroyed …this one is money well spent. Charlie & I highly recommend!!
Wanted to update my review. Still haven't recieved my replacement. Been saying my delivery is on hold for 5 days. Was supposed to be delivered on the 17th. Smh. Anyway, this is my 3rd set of rings for my Belgian malinois. If you know anything about that breed, they're very high energy and crazy. The first 2 sets lasted a couple months each until he was able to sever through. I buy them because they're safer for his teeth. The foam is soft but tough and durable. Anyway, my most recent purchase was delivered December 28th. By January 1st one of them snapped in half. I decided to start leaving them inside the house after playtime because I think the cold effects the durability. The 2nd one was broke 7 days later. I was issued a replacement order so that's good. He really enjoys playing with them. I order the standard size for his size.
Just ehDestroyed both in a day There are better rings on the market for the same pricePlus these are hard to see at night
