I thought this toy was the best i have a 1 year old shnoodle and he can destruct things in a matter of seconds i was so frustrated with all the toys that were said to be strong but weren't so i tried one more time to find the best toy and as i was reading a magazine (MODERN DOG) and saw the toy there so i went to my local pet store and found it. and this time i didn't have to buy my dog a toy for another 12 months cause thats all he wanted before bed at the dog park and more i also loved how it floats! and plus it is soo easy to clean i still continue to buy from this brand.
