GoughNuts Ring Dog Toy

Disclaimer, this will be detailed. I have an 85 pound Dutch Shepherd who is 3 years old. I do not let my dog freely chew on toys, rather I allow him to chew a toy on my terms. With that said, I am highly disappointed in this product and could not in good faith recommend this to anyone who’s dog actually chews on a toy. This product had about 10-15 hours worth of chew time on it before the red core was exposed in several places. Needless to say, I do not feel that this product is advertised or priced appropriately.

My 6 month old GSD pup seems to like this thing, and no signs of wear so far after a few days of chewing. My only concern is that this thing is pretty heavy, and she likes to take a break from chewing it to pick it up and fling it around, so I’m thinking of adding a tether of some sort to keep it grounded. It does have a bit of a smell as others have noted, but it’s not overpowering or terribly unpleasant, it’s just rubber!

This is a solid chew toy, heavy, resilient, and the dog likes it a lot. The only issue i have is i bought a size too big. thats on me i should have looked closer.

We have several of these and the tug toy. They have been the only toy our pitty girl can NOT destroy within seconds or even a couple of weeks. Well worth the money, they have lasted several years and many chew sessions. She does eventually start to break them down, but again, after a year or more of play. I also enjoy that the hard rubber is easy to wash after the toy is left out in the yard.

This toy is heavy! And it bounces! It is so far only the second toy I have found that my pitty mix hasn’t torn up yet and I’ve had it almost a week!!! And yes he loves to play with it!

Our pit mix 8 month old foster is the only one who will play with the ring or stick and not for long. She does tend to want no one near it and she hasn't done that with other toys. The Boxers who love toys don't like the smell or taste. They are very strong rubber smell. They seem tough for the chewers, but with the expense and not many playing haven't made up our minds if recommend or not.

We have a mix breed, Noah, and boredom gnawing and chewing is his favorite pastime. This is the first toy that survived more than 7 minutes without being eviscerated. But if you have a part-herding breed, don’t make my mistake of rolling it across the floor the first time you reward your pup with a GoughNut. My dog Noah just thought it was a messed up looking ball. He doesn’t chew it, but REALLY wants me to play catch with it. If you have this toy, you already know it’s too heavy to yeet this thing across the room. Perfect chew toy. Durable, no chips of rubber to clean up. GoughNut: 10/10 - excellent. Noah: 5/10 - meets expectations (still the best boy in the world).

My 8 month old puppy has destroyed so many chew toys within hours of playing with it. She has had this toy for a full weekend and has not destroyed it!! I saw a few reviews say that their dog wouldn't play with it, however Appa really enjoys this toy. She specifically likes to throw it at the other dogs. Will happily be investing in more GoughNut products :)

Our mid-sized dog (Border-Collie mix) doesn't chew it, doesn't carry it around so it's of no use there. But since it's round, I can roll it and she chases it, so that works well compared to the other 3 items we tried.

So this toy is fine! Nothing was wrong with it but my baby girl is too gentle. :( She wouldn’t touch it so I just simply donated the toy. I’m sure the dogs at the shelter must be enjoying it
