I got this toy for my Golden Retriever puppy who loves nothing more than to sit and destroy her toys. I got her two Kong toys that she completely destroyed in a matter of weeks. I got the Hurley from a small local pet store and two months later she hasn't even put a tooth mark on it. It has held up really well and she loves it. I have bought several more West Paw Toys since for my dog and as gifts for others. Great toys!

Hate to say it, because all the reviews were great, but Brody managed to all but destroy the Hurley in a couple of days. However the tux is still intact!

My dog loves this.

Our four year old standard dachshund is more attached to the Hurley than any other toy we have ever purchased for her! The medium size is a perfect fit. She loves to run around the house with it in her mouth, knows it by name, sleeps with it next to her and of course chews on it to her heart's content. She is a strong chewer and so far so good--no damage. We are very pleased.

I purchased the mini Hurley as a teether for my new pup Magi. However I also purchased the other sizes for my adult dogs. They love Hurley just as much as the Huck and Jive. Dash my Golden, loves to have Hurley and a Huck or Jive in his mouth at the same time. Whenever the pup starts to look for something to chew we just give him the mini Hurley and he is quite content. The product is easy to clean and will get years of chew time.

Has been very durable so far and barely shows a single tooth mark after 3 weeks of hard core chewing by two 55lb dogs.

This toy is absolutely amazing for my Pit Bull who chews through every other toy she gets! After months of use, there's hardly a scratch on it! One day after she was chewing on it, however, I noticed that there was blood down in a couple of the grooves on one of the ends of the toy from her chewing too aggressively. But, with less time with the toy and more supervision, everything has been perfect since and the toy is over a year old!

This has been the only toy to withstand our two-year-old Australian Cattle Dog's chewing capability. I bought the Hurley 9 months ago, and it is still in great condition other than minor teeth marks. There are no chunks missing either. I was pleased that the West Paws "frisbee" lasted six month, which is a record for any flying toy we've purchased.

This is the only toy I've given to my pitbull mix that she hasn't ripped apart in 48 hours. It might be a miracle, and she loves it.

I bought this item yesterday. My 9 months old (Old English Bulldog) damaged the product within a few hours.

Hurley is doing fine. But the unstuffed floppy dog has been destroyed. Of the 4 items we ordered the dog was Chip's favorite but now it is just an unrecognizable piece of fabric - amazingly the squeaker is still working. That is usually the first thing Chip pulls out of a toy.

Will go with some stronger items next order.

Appreciate your guarantee. Keeping dogs happy can be expensive.

I ordered the Hurley because our dogs had one that needed to be replaced. We have 2 Australian Cattle Dogs and a Boston Terrier. They love these toys. I also ordered the Bumi which they have played with constantly since we got them. They are great toys for our girls because they can't chew them up. Great job on your toys.

My black lab chews through Kongs in about 20 minutes, and this toy has lasted her months without a tooth mark!

We first reviewed the Hurley on 8/19/2011, and, as noted then, it is still one of our (now 1-year old) female GSD's favorite toys. She carries it around the house and demands attention with it (bump-bump-bump).

We have learned, though, that this is NOT a good outside toy. When thrown, it is possible for her to catch it end on... and, being smooth and slippery (with dog spit), it can go too deeply into her throat. We have stopped using it outside and gone to flying discs.

Otherwise, ALL the WPD toys we have are holding up very well and are excellent products.

I'm surprised by the reviewers whose dogs have destroyed a Hurley in hours. We had gone through many toys with our Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix, especially when he was puppy to about 2 years old. When we got our first Hurley, things changed. He could chew it play with it, and it held together. After a while - say 2-3 years or so, it's finally getting kind of ratty - he's chewed off little pieces on each end, and I'm afraid he's going to eat them & get sick.
It's been a great toy for playing "tug" with, too. I think it's a great toy. Thanks!

My 106lb yellow lab loves the Hurley, however he is able to snap it in two in within a few minutes of getting it. The center is very poorly designed. It appears to have been formed perfectly to fit a dogs mouth and be weakest at those exact points.

I love the way these things throw and my dog loves to chase it, but this should be retired from the lineup. It definitely doesn't live anywhere near the durability title it is given.

I was skeptical when ordering, but the trstimony from the owner of a doggie daycare push me over the edge to make the purchase. After one hour with the toys my dogs were unable to destroy them, so I called my husband to tell him how surprised I was! We are on day 8 and the toys are still whole. Unbelieveable!!!! We love your product. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!

My dog, Willow, is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier mix. I adopted her from the pound in May of 2011. She has proven to be quite a handful when it comes to toys. She chews through everything, destroys her toys and bones in minutes, and I hate to leave her chewing on hard, plastic toys because im afraid she will hurt her mouth and gums. Besides that she hurts everyone else with the rough edges of the toy.

My brother recommended I get the Hurley. It has worked wonderful for his dog, and has hardly had any marks in it. That was not the case with mine. Willow had ripped holes in her Hurley in less than 24 hours of having it.
In 3 days she completely destroyed one end of it.

The Hurley may work for other dogs, but not mine. Im still on the search to find a great toy for her.

Another destroyed dog toy and more wasted money. I was excited to hear that this toy was "indestructable", but our 3 year old Vizsla, Graham, destroyed it in three hours. We will be returning it for a refund.

I have a 1 yr. old 'Deer Chihuahua' that can chew through any and everything, including the most extreme 'kong'. She has had the mini Hurley for over a week now and cannot chew it apart and LOVES it! This is the first toy that has lasted this long, so I'm sure we will be buying more!

Sadly, our dog has already chewed the ends off of her Hurley. We will be sending it back for the refund/replacement.

We bought a collection of different WestPaw toys--13 in all--for two adult Labs and a 12 week old Lab puppy.
We have Hurleys, the Tux, Bumis, Hucks, Ziscs,and Jives. All the toys were exactly as advertised and so
far have proved to be very sturdy and show no signs of wear and tear with three Labs going at them daily.
These are quality items and we are happy with our purchases.

Can't destroy a Hurley? Now that's a challenge! Only a mere 9 month old Irish Setter but I can chew anything, and just to prove it tonight....... I ate it. It only took about 45 minutes to destroy one end, leaving four of five nice rubbery chunks bitten off to eat later. Tomorrow night I'd like a go at the other end, but my master seems to have taken it away. Perhaps now I've broken it in HE is going to have a go! Or pehaps he's just sending it back!

My Dog has destroyed every toy he has ever had in less then a few hours. It has been a few weeks so far with his new Hurley toy and it doesn't have a scratch on it. I am very satisfied with this product.

My pit bull adores her Hurleys. Even though she chews them down in about 1 month, I still think it is a good purchase because she enjoys every second of it so much. She just lays down and gnaws on it with a blissful expression in her eyes. I now buy several at a time and she has more than 1 lying around. Strange thing is that she will only chew on one end. Whatever end touches her mouth first is the only end she will ever chew on. The other end becomes a handle. So we recycle them when one end gets down to the narrowest point.

Hurley is the only Christmas toy still intact! Not even a bite mark on it and our one year old Australian shepherd/beegle pup has certainly tried.

So far, so good. I was given one for a visitor who is a chew master. Not a ding in it. My Borzoi use it as a tug toy as its just long enough. Gave one to a guest dog who enjoyed ours while here. I could use a ball of this quality with hole in to make a sound as it flies...they love to chew large strong rubber balls too. Tennis balls don't cut it...sorry for the pun.

Great product. The Hurley is going strong at two weeks and that is a week longer than anything else I bought my dog. Would recommend to a friend.

I have two labs and have had the tux toys for several months. My dogs liked playing with them so I decided to get two of the hurley chew toys for them also. After a couple of days one of them was in about twenty little pieces and the other one is looking like it is also about to break in half and then be destroyed as well. They may work well with dogs that are not real aggressive chewers.

We rarely review products, but had to make an exception this time. Our dog is a 30 pound, quintessential mutt. He loves to chew. If he were to be paid to chew, we'd be millionaires. As with every other West Paw dog toy, the build quality is extremely high. Although it seems many customers buy these toys for aggressive chewers (like we do!), any dog would love the combination of toughness, buoyancy, bounciness, and size.
The Hurley is no exception. Classic bone shape, fun colors, tougher than any toy we've found on the market, easy to clean...I could go on as many happy customers will attest.
Best of all, West Paw offers a replacement if/when your dog destroys the toy. Other reviewers insist that their dog manages to chew straight through this toy in a few days. This would probably be true of our dog, however, we have created a system of toy rotation, for two reasons. First, we obviously want to try to make certain toys last longer than others. Second, using a system where your dog doesn't have constant access to all of his or her toys creates a reward system for good behavior. This is a smart technique when the owner is trying to discontinue the use of food treats as rewards for good behavior or obedience. Sometimes our dog wont see his Hurley for days and when he finally sees us removing it from the cupboard after outstanding behavior, he goes nuts and is content for hours.
All that to say, we don't let our pup have constant access to his Hurley. Because of this, our Hurley's generally last about 4-8 weeks. Some may say this isn't a very long time. For owners with aggressive chewers, this is an eternity. We never feel the need to take advantage of WestPaw's return/exchange program because we're completely happy with the products. We happily replace the bones when it's time. In a world where no product seems to last as long as consumers want it to, West Paw products are on the longer end of the spectrum in this family. If we found a toy that vastly outlasted WestPaw's, we'd reconsider. However as of yet, no toy comes close to these standards.
Lastly, how many toy companies make their products in the USA? Are environmentally friendly? Few fit this bill. After we mistakenly fed our dog treats that were misleadingly manufactured in China -- which resulted in months of incontinence, vet bills, and permanent digestive problems -- we vowed to stick to products where we knew their origin. No surprise, West Paw exceeds this standard with a highly transparent supply chain and manufacturing process.
We couldn't be happier with West Paw products and they will always be a staple in our dog toy collection. Would highly recommend to any dog owner, but especially for aggressive chewers. Just remember, rotate toys and they will last much longer!
