I have a 75 pound large malinois. She tears everything up she’s allowd to play with. Her favorite toy is 5 gallon buckets for whatever reason, and she’ll chew them in half. However I’ve had this toy for about a year now. She’s runs around with it in her mouth while playing with said buckets. It’s the toughest toy I’ve owned. Expensive but worth every dime if it’s going to last even 6 months of entertainment.

This has stood up very well for my two dogs, wether it's used for tugging or just chewing.

I have 2- 100 + lb dogs and this chew toy has held up without even a scratch on it .They love it .

The smell of the rubber is overwhelming. Plus it is super heavy. I have a female pitbull and she couldn’t fit it in her mouth/and wouldn’t even go near it. She prefers the zogoflex by west paw. We will be donating both of these toys to pups who hopefully can get past the smell and also the size works for. As always, thank you chewy for the great customer service.

This is very heavy and seems super durable, similar to the other GoughNuts toy we ordered. Only our larger dog will grab it and unfortunately, he wants to chew it. Our medium pup (strong puller-tugger) wants nothing to do with it. Unfortunately, not every toy works! And we chose poorly. Will try to find another pup to donate this to. Or, it's heavy enough for an arm workout while walking or running. :)

My GSD/husky mix has shredded every giant dog/heavy chewer/“indestructible” toy we’ve gotten him in a matter of days. But not this toy! We got it for him in December and four months later it still looks brand new, despite daily tug of war battles and heavy chewing. It’s his favorite toy, he carries it with him everywhere. Other reviews mentioned a smell but I didn’t notice a smell at all. Definitely recommend for dogs with super-jaw-strength!

My Riley loves this toy. Goughnuts brand is the BEST for Pitbulls. They actually last. (Get the black ones) His other one is still going strong after 3 years!

I have a house full of large, active dogs. This tug immediately became the favorite, prized possession of my pack! Almost all are hard chewers who love a good tug o’ war. It’s a challenge finding toys that engage them long enough to distract the young ones from chewing on things they shouldn’t. Either the toy is destroyed immediately, or they quickly grow bored with it. Two of my dogs play with this constantly, until they are worn out. It’s a REALLY durable chew, but with the give that they enjoy, and the design is perfect for these two to play their tug games to their hearts’s content, sized just right for both to get a good grip on it.

Has a very strong odor of petroleum. So much so I can not keep it in the house. The dog will not play with it.

Our pit bull/bull dog mix is a year old and a big, heavy dog. But I found this large size a bit much for her to try to play tug with it since she has some difficulty in getting a good mouth grip. My son is able to play with her using the toy and she loves it. I did not return because I figured she would grow into it. This goughnut appears to be well-made of good solid material and it is heavy. It looks like it was built to last. After a couple of weeks playing with it, it doesn't have a scratch. I would recommend the large size for large dogs, though.
