Dog Chew Toys for Aggressive Chewers – Indestructible Dog Toy to Reduce Pet Anxiety and Boredom for Small, Medium, Large Breed

We absolutely loved this toy! It was durable, but it only lasted a couple of days before crumbling. I would definitely buy again though!

Bought this weeks ago and it’s still has all it’s body parts attached. The only thing is one of the eyes can’t of, but the eyes are like latex stickers or something so it peeled of pretty quick. But the other eye is still there. Lol. Honestly even if they were both gone I’d still leave 5 stars, because this you had lasted way longer than I expected it to. I am surprised that my dog’s haven’t destroyed it the first day. I have three dogs, one is a pitty and all of them are heavy chewers. Very happy with this product and actually plan on ordering a couple more so each of my dogs have their own.

I gave this dog toy 2-stars based on my dog toy rating system (DTRS) for “Bruce” the Green Alligator!

Unfortunately, I didn’t notice in the fine print of the product description on the website that this toy consisted of Nylon. If I noticed that description, I would’ve never purchased this product. Please do your own research on Nylon wrt teeth. I wasn’t impressed with the toy construction out of the box. The nylon head and tail sandwich the rubber body with soft rubber spines on Bruce’s back for easy gripping. This is not an “Indestructible” dog toy.

Safety (1-rating):
1. I was always concerned about my dog’s teeth possibly cracking while he was chewing on Bruce’s Nylon ends. Thankfully, his teeth were fine throughout the use of this toy.
2. The Nylon came off in small pieces after a few hours and continued for the life of the toy; see picture. I never intended for my dog to swallow pieces of Nylon.
3. Bruce’s rubber rear end is where most of the damage occurred, as my dog was tearing off pieces of rubber and spines, which he thankfully passed through his system over a period of 2-3 days after I threw Bruce away; see picture.
4. The chewed-up Nylon ends were very hard, rough, sharp and pointy. There were occasions where I noticed my dog’s gums were bleeding as a result of chewing this toy.
5. Bruce is big enough not to swallow in its entirety, which is why I’m giving this a 1-rating for safety.
6. This is a molded product and not a plush product.

Durability (2-rating):
1. It took my dog 1 to 2-weeks to get the toy in the shape that is shown on the posted photos.
2. The Nylon was immediately being scratched and scraped apart on day-1. Then I noticed pieces of Nylon coming off of Bruce after 3-4 days.
3. The rubber was immediately being punctured with small divots around the body on day-1. I noticed over the next couple of days that my dog was focusing on the rear end and trying to pull the rubber off the Nylon tail.
4. The rubber started coming off more quickly after 1-week, until I removed it all together.

Squeaker (N/A):
1. Bruce has no squeaker.

Fatality (2-rating):
1. Bruce had a longer life than most of my dog’s toys, but then again, I expected this to last much longer as the seller claims it is “Indestructible”, which it is not.
2. I tried filing off some of Bruce’s chewed up Nylon ends to smooth them out for more chew time, but came to my senses and just threw him away for safety concerns only.

In conclusion, “Bruce” the Green Alligator should not be given as a chew toy, but more as a fetch toy, unless you want your dog to digest the Nylon and rubber materials.

My dog a very aggressive chewer. It had become his favorite toy. It is not very noisey which is great and the design of the toy is cute. My dog loves to play with it and chase us around if we have it. Keeps him entertained for sure. I would recommend this to anyone.

Dont bother if you have a heavy chewer!
Part of this is made from soft type rubber .. so if you have a chewer, they will literally eat the rubber in small bits! Not ideal at all!

Key points

• supervision is a must. Foam is sturdy but will eventually be ripped off by aggressive chewing.

• this is a heavy toy so watch your toes

• lasts longer than most, definitely worth buying

• dogs had no interest at first so definitely put peanut butter on it to give it a chance.

• It has been their favorite chew toy ever

My five German Shepherds have loved this toy and destroyed it. As we are saying goodbye six months later I decided to share my review. At first none of them cared for it. I was going to return but for the money just didn’t. I don’t know how many months I had it before one of them picked it up ( maybe two) then they all wanted it. Within a month they did rip all the foam off, supervision is a must. They are all aggressive chewers.

My daughter plays fetch with it, can’t stand it, but they love it. She throws it away from them, it’s way too heavy for a dog to catch without chipping teeth. I don’t like the fetch because when they drop it at my feet to play it hurts when I’m wearing sandals, again it’s heavy and solid. Not supposed to throw it but my dogs love it, when tired then go lay down and chew on it. This toy has lived outside since we bought it since it’s heavy and my dogs love to drop it at feet. They are only outside when we are so always supervised. Can’t stress that enough since they can eventually rip the foam and chew body off with enough chewing. I wouldn’t leave this toy or any toy alone with an aggressive chewer ever.

This is the longest lasting aggressive chew toy we’ve owned. So I’m very happy with it and if you’re here you know the pain of trying to find something that last longer than a day or week. I wish I tried peanut butter to get them interested sooner.

Even though this is a nice product with mostly hard plastic on the nose and tail, the body is a little soft and breaks off and can be swallowed. And as pet owners, we know that plastic is never good for a dog to swallow.

If you look at the photo, you will see the back left leg is missing and that’s because my dog actually bit it right off and had it in his mouth.

Purchase with caution.
