Arguably bulletproof
Pattern Name: Tug Pull, Size: Large
All good. The gauge is slightly large which my dog, Magnum {66 lb American Stafordshire Terrier), struggles with - slightly. Not a big problem and I am thinking that if the guuge were smaller, Magnum would be able to chew through it
and ruin the toy. Comfy grip. Center piece or grip works great also because Magnum likes to grip that which allows the 2 handles to be free for human pulling.
Walmart has/had a similar item, but..........one end has tiny spikes meant for the dog to grip. My dog never liked that end, however, so I always got the ucomfortable knobly end and he got the smooth human end - hah ha. Too, Magnum chewed through two of these Walmart toys., I have seen Magnum chewing on this reviewed toy, but I am seeing zero damage. Walmart's toy is cheaper, but the lifetime guarantee on this Tuff Tug toy eliminartes any price advantage.
Update 6 months later - the product appears to be bulletproof.....until it wasn't. Everyone on the dog park marveled at the item's amazing durability in terms of daily severe abuse AND my dog's preoccupation with gnawing on the toy. Not only does it hold up, but there are almost no discernable chew marks.
All of that said, the toy did finally show some coming apart today (mid March '24 - bought Oct '23 with lots of daily chewing and tug of war abuse). Remarkably, with a good 30% of the item's thickness chewed through - it still stands up to severe and constant tug of war strain......like nothing ever happened!
We joke at the dog park that tbe toy is made of Kryptonite.
Yes, it's now damaged some, but I feel it is well worth the 20.00 price for the service it has delivered...
