I have 2 pitbull mixes that can eat an entire pig femur in under 5 min! I suspect this may be a single use toy for them??

Actually this toy has some decent composition to it but you might think about bumping up to the black extreme toy. I believe the black is Kong's strongest made toy. KONG Extreme Dog Toy, Large, Black

They make a black kong for aggressive chewers. And I would suggest getting the large size. The difference between a pig femur and the kong: femur is non flexible, and kong flexes as the dog bites. They are firm but give as the center is hollow. My dogs really don't bite the kong but lick the filling out instead. Hope this helps.

I understand your concern, however my experience with this Kong Balls is that they are virtually indestructible. I have two adult male German shepherds that play with theirs continually, and have yet to see this ball shredded to ribbons like so many other toys. We bought this product about 8 months ago and its still going strong!

I have a toy poodle puppy and he has already taken a sizeable chunk out on one Kong...he only gets the new one with a treat and as soon as the treat is eaten the Kong it's put up...I'd be wary when making a purchase ...possible that the really big ones are stronger?

I wouldn't say a single use. Our German Shepherd is a super super strong and determined chewer and doesn't chew the actual Kong. I'd definitely get the black tough ones though!

My dog eats the chew like a bone with both paws holding down the chew on one side while taking a bite from the other. I bet you break up the chew and give it to your dogs so they try to wolf it down to get another piece. Give them one chew each

My 30 lb terrier can destroy anything in about 5 minutes...including black Kongs. After two months the Goughnut is still in one piece. It does not show any tooth marks or gnawed spots. The shape and material make it hard for him to really get a hold of it in a way that he can chew it. He tries. He does like it and we play "tag and tug" with it.

I've never had a pit bull, but from what I've heard of the strength of their jaws I imagine they would eventually. Don't know how long it would take, though. If you don't let them sit and chew on them, just take it away when you're done playing, might last quite a while.

Some of the bones we ordered our airdale will chew it down but not eat it. If little bits are coming off you May want to try a real baby teething toy for your puppy. The soft rubber maybe slightly tougher and not as easy to bite through like a dog toy. Just in case I would still keep an eye on your little baby until you notice that he/she can't penetrate the rubber teething chew toy. Just another idea. The softer the rubber toy is the puppy will not get bored. Another great way to use that teething toy is to put it in the freezer for five to 10 minutes. The cold soothes the puppies gums. Just an idea for you.Good luck. Some of the bones we ordered our airdale will chew it down but not eat it. If little bits are coming off you May want to try a real baby teething toy for your puppy.

Stop wasting your money on toys for the Pit Bulls. If they are anything like mine nothing holds up. I have found a tennis ball is good for awhile but if they get some time with it it's gone. Like the others said a Nylabone is a good choice and I have found the marrow bones from the grocery store are good but my male can crush right through them if he can't reach the marrow. Just watch them if you give them the marrow bones. I have spent so much on toys and they destroy them all. Nylabone, tennis ball, marrow bones for the pitters. They love them.

Get a cow femur bone. My 3 heavy duty chewy pits can't destroy them. Nylabone products work well too.

Answer: Hello, I cannot say for sure, but my experience was that one piggie discovered them first and really enjoyed curling up on it. The second piggie followed suit a day or so later and they both enjoy them. It seems that they use the one they are most familiar with, but I would try just one since piggies do not seem to be too aggressive. They are really a nice product for them to play with. Good luck !!! - Norma Grimstad

I honestly don't think your dogs can get their jaws around this. My brother has a mastiff too and went nuts for the jolly ball. The plastic is industructible- they give these to horses and zoo animals. They are a great toy! Personally I'd opt for the bigger ball, just because of the size of your dogs. I hope your dogs enjoy!!

I have two labs one is 8 yrs. and the other is 7 mo. each can devourer a veggie dent chew in less than 5 minutes. Why not try bully sticks they last much longer.

My dog is able to destroy pretty much anything, but she can't destroy this kong. It would be a good investment. However, be ready to fill it up often if your dog is anything like mine. Sometimes I just put it away so she doesn't consume too many goodies. The biggest is the best and make sure it is black.

I have 2 aggressive chewers, a 115 lb. 10 yr old golden retriever and at 12 lb. 7 mo. old mini doxi mix, both can destroy indestructible toys, beds, blankets, you name it, in less than 24 hrs. They've had 2 diff sizes of these balls for about 3-4 weeks now and both look the same as the day I opened them. They play with them regularly, so you should get more than 24 hrs. out of them. My tiny dog can carry the very large one of these around also. He shreads a normal tennis ball in a matter of minutes, these he can't. Thankfully, they've worked for us.

Our pittie-mix is a strong chewer and he seemed to enjoy the Romp n' Chomp just fine! Didn't even need to put any treats in the center, he just enjoyed gnawing on the bone...its held up for a few months now, but is noticeably worn down.

yes, I would recommend using this product, even though the bites are triangular in shape, they are soft and can be tore in two. I do this and give my dogs one and a half...give yours one of the two pieces

I bought it for my old Pit Bull because she has bad teeth and gums hoping she'd chew it a little to help strengthen her gums or at least clean her teeth some, but she showed no interest in chewing it or anything else at all. My younger dog who is a three year old Boxer/Whippet mix loved it and promptly chewed the handle in two, then left it. It now sits in their "toy box" untouched, so I can't really give you a good answer to your question. Sorry

not at all! my dog is an extrem chewer and he had the middle piece out within two hours.. dumped out all the treats.. and then got his lip and two teeth stuck inside the hole.. we had to throw it away after 2 days.

No! They will destroy it into a million pieces in several days or weeks. I recommend Goughnuts. A little more expensive but i have 2 extreme chewers(bith pits) and they have yet(after 3 weeks) to do ANY damage to the ball and the large doughnut. There isnt a single puncture on either toy after weeks of trying!
