I bought this toy for my puppy. He is a strong and aggressive chewer. He had this for less than 5 minutes and had already destroyed it. It seems very durable for an average chewer, but do not buy if you need the most resilient toys. The felt is easily torn off, and the rubber underneath does not stand up to any chewing.

My 5 month old lab/border collie puppy loves squeaky toys. When she received it for Christmas she loved it so much that she destroyed it within hours of having it. The felt on the surface was totally peeled of and the squeaker was ruined very fast. The dumbell also broke off in little pieces and we had to take it away from her, fearing that she would swallow them. Your dog will love this toy, but it won't last very long.

Wasn't sure how big these would be, but they are perfect for my dogs (140 lbs and 100 lbs). They aren't going to last forever, but we'll get a few months, which is better than most toys. They make a loud squeak, so if that will bother you, beware! We are using these as outdoor toys. So far, so good. I wish I had ordered a dozen instead of two.

Our 4-month old pups were given the Squeaker tubular tennis toy. Within a week the squeaker was dead and one end was completely chewed off the toy--the latter happened in the space of a couple of hours, it was fine one minute and later that day it was destroyed. I never found the squeaker and can only pray no intestinal problems develop from it. I have yet to find a toy that stands up to a teeething puppy. We have the rubber teething Kong for puppies and they don't like it at all. We have the rubber teething stick(s) and small pieces get chewed off constantly. We have the "heavy-duty" black and red Kong tug-toy and in the first hour pieces of the black handle were all over the floor. As far as durability the best are the Kong rubber bones that can be stuffed. The dogs have a lot of trouble getting the stuffing treat out however

We picked this up for our new dog who loves bones. He loved catching it, bouncing it to catch it himself, and simply chewing on it. The squeaker (sadly) lasted almost as long as the toy, which bit the dust 3 months later after he had chewed off the outside material. It never got lost, either, unlike most tennis balls.

My little poo-mix dog is not a heavy chewer (hardly even got the toy to squeak), but after only a few hours she was able to chew off a side and I found the squeaker on the floor. I'm just thankful that she didn't try to eat it or choke on it. We've had other products from this company, and they were just fine. I would not recommend this one, though. We're going to stick to the non-squeak toys from now on.

Once the item arrived, I cut off the tags and gave it to my Husky immediately. The toy has a wonderful concept since my dog loves the squeaky sound, yet my husky tore it up within 15 minutes. For $7, they toy should have lasted longer.

I purchased the Air Kong Squeaker dumbbell for a friends small dog. The dog is only about 9 months old and weighs about 15 lbs. My friend indicated that 10 minutes after she gave him the toy he had chewed it up. The insides were hanging out etc... I had hope the toy would have lasted much longer then that, but unfortunately it did not. If you have a dog that is a chewer, this is not the toy for him or her.

My Cardigan Welsh Corgi absolutely looooooves this entire family of toys. He currently has a working collection of the dumbell, donut, football, and stick (I call it his "cigar")shapes that he is somehow still able to get a squeak out of even though i am unable to, no matter how i try.

Be warned, however, that dogs who love to squeak-squeak-squeak all the way home repeatedly just MIGHT annoy the neighbors if you live in a tight urban area like mine. My solution is just to give the Air Kongs a curfew of no play after 9pm or before 8am. So far so good.

These toys are probably not for heavy chewers or for dogs who love to defuzz regular tennis balls, but for corgis like mine, these have been a delightful find. Plus, this price is a good $5 cheaper than i usually see at the local pet stores.

I purchased this at a store, not here on Amazon. (Nothing against Amazon) I have several different Kong toys for my mini Bull terrier, who is an extreme chewer. This toy was ripped apart in less then 2 hours. By day 2, it was in a million pieces. Knowing he is an extreme chewer we do give him bones and such to chew. But whenever he gets a new toy it's game on for this little pooch. So if your dog is a serious chewer then don't waste your money. I thought this toy would hold up atleast a few weeks before he could rip it apart. I stick to Kong toys but for the extreme chewer toys. Which Amazon does offer. (The Kong ball is great fyi) Hope this helps :)
