I have come to the conclusion that dog toys just aren't built to last for every. I go by the principle that the more toys that your dog has the safer you're items are. After many other failed toys I gave West Paw Design a try. I have bought Several different product, the Hurley and the Tizzy and many of the different ball designs. I am very happy with the Product I have a lab mix who loves to chew and most toys last about 15 sec before I have to toss them. She has had hers for over 2 years with no sign of wear and even with a new puppy in the house they are still holding strong. Having tried most products on the market, it is safe to say it is her #1 toy to play with and my #1 company I recommend when people are at the end of their rope trying to find something their dog both likes and last. (and how many company's put a guarantee on their products these day especially when it come to dog toys.)
