Is this good for chewers?
1636636
yes! as long as you give them other items to chew. I give my dog a rawhide or bone to chew to ease frustration. Use it as a fetch toy and they should respond. My dog loves it. Its a tough ball.
1636637
No, not really. My retriever isn't much of a chewer but he has chewed up two of these. Yet I keep them around because he still likes them as they are easy for him to grab on to and run around with, especially in the pool.

No it will be destroyed, my youngest dobie can chew this ball up in a day! I get raw bones from the meat section for him �

No, this isn't good for real chewers. We have Shepards and this lasted for a few months, but they didn't chew on it that often. I recommend the KONG X-Large Bounzer Dog Toy (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_pg_3?rh=n%3A2619533011%2Cn%3A2975312011%2Cn%3A2975413011%2Ck%3Akong&page=3&keywords=kong&ie=UTF8&qid=1399747102) for chewers. We have had this for a long time and it has still not been destroyed after a lot of chewing.

I would say no because my lab already has teeth marks in it! Don't get me wrong it's a great toy for her and is holding up for the moment. (On a side note my old shepherd had a green -star mark i think- ball that he was never ever able to destroy! Got a little sticky but that was it � and the lab didn't destroy it either, she just didn't like it as much as he did!)

No, this is just heavy nylon wrapped around heavy foam, a chewer would destroy this in less than a day.
1636642
Not really. It will hold up for a bit but I wouldn't let a chewer have it unsupervised. The ball has a fabric and rubber covering that will last a long time though. My dog love is it, but we don't allow her to destroy her toys. That being said she does live to chew/teethe on the smaller rubber chuck-it balls. She hasn't destroyed a one yet.

We have one of the hardest and most active chewers I've seen. She literally destroys toys within minutes but this has lasted beyond what could have been expected. She chews on it, tries to tug with it, and is not very kind to it and it has held up.

I would say Yes. My grown dog loves them too. But my neighbor just got a smaller dog (pup) and I actually gave them a bag, because I noticed that while I was holding it, he was constantly trying to chew on my hand with those little sharp teeth, so I thought a bag of those would be perfect for the puppy to chew on and not choke. But, as I have had many puppies and dogs, I always watch them when they are chewing on onesomething until they are finished. I never leave a pet alone with a chew bone.

They're dangerous for chewers, probably ok for lickers only. If you put it in water or vinegar and it doesn't soften in a short time, that is what is moving through your dogs digestive system. I dropped one and it shattered into glass like shards

My dog is a Black Labrador 8 months old; and he also likes to chew; but I use it as a game under supervision, and then put it away for another . Thid esy it becomes a real treat for some fun. It is not meant to be a toy for chewing, but one that is to develop skills in smelling and finding things. My dog loves it and then he gets real chewing bones to satisfy the chewing.

Doug, our 8-month old great dane, hasn't chewed on it either. He does give a good yank on it when he wants to go outside and it is holding up pretty well. He hasn't ripped it nor torn off any of the bells. I think it's pretty sturdy.

I don't believe a dog will chew this unless it's really angry at you for leaving them. It washes great! Have another and have washed probably hundred times.

Only if it starts falling apart...especially if he/she chews on it. Otherwise, no need to replace.

I would say this ball is for a strong chewer. It is mostly solid with just enough give. It is fairly heavy, so if your dog likes to toss their toys in the air be aware of their surroundings.

Neither of mine are chewers but it has thick plastic legs. But honestly I don't see why it can't be chewed. Maybe your pup needs a nylabone. I give mine carrots too. Good luck!

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.

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.

My dog picks this toy up and carries it around and I can barely see any teeth marks on it.. She hasn't chewed on it though... I do think it would hold up to chewing! It's thick plastic and my dogs love playing with it! Keeps them entertained for at least an hour.

It's more of a play toy than a chew chew. So only use it for fetch and put it away after. This is also a good way to train your dog to not chew her toys.

I think you need to look at the more durable beds. It is instinct for a puppy to chew "anything". This bed is soft and comfortable, but could not withstand chewing. Good luck, puppies are worth it;)

I doubt your puppies could 'chew up' this dog house, though they might 'rough up around the entry! I don't imagine it would be very 'tasty chewing' May I suggest you buy some calf or goat hoofs (the dogs LOVE THESE THINGS!) ..... they smell terrible, so let them chew on them outside! Works great for my hyper Papillons!

My 3 mo old pup was and is still a chewer...has not chewed the poochie bells on the back door or the ones inside the bedroom door. Has plenty of chew toys and bones available. Things are kept off the floor and unavailable so can't chew. Pleease, Do not punish if chews if inappropriate..correct...and give THEIR chewies.

Definitely. I have a large pitbull that ate through one of those extreme kongs without hesitation but as longs as there is a treat in the end she was more fixated on the treat than destroying the toy itself. It took her a few hours to eat the treat ends as well
