I have a 65 pound American Bulldog & Lab mix who can tear apart the black Kong toys in under 15 minutes. I tried many other toys that were labeled “indestructible, super tough, or for aggressive chewers” with the same result – little piles of rubber shreds on either side of my dog as he sinks his teeth in and pulls the toys apart. Ordered one of these Zogoflex Tux toys after reading the reviews hoping to finally find something that would stand up to his choppers. Received an orange one a few days later and showed it to my dog. He was on it immediately. It quickly became his favorite toy. So how did it stand up to his chewing?

Well, he’s been chewing on it for over a week now and the thing still looks brand new. I’ve even tucked treats in the underside which really makes him go at the thing and he still hasn’t gotten any pieces off of it! He also likes to play fetch with the Tux. In fact, it is the only toy we have that he will bring to me and drop in my lap, asking me to toss it.

It’s a chew toy, a treat holder, and a fetch toy and it has stood up to the hardest chewing dog I’ve ever known. Well worth the money, in my opinion!

this dog chew toy is one of 2 dog toys that my 3 seventy plus pound dalmatians cannot destroy. I would recommend this toy for very powerful chewers. they have had this toy for around 2 months now and there is a couple teeth marks but they still look almost brand new. the dogs do play with them especially if you fill the middle of the toy with a treat. If not for this product i would be at a loss on what to give my dogs for toys. They only other toy they cannot destroy is the durable nyla bone for extreme chewers. I use to buy them the extreme kong but they chewed it up a couple months ago!!

My husband & I have 3 wonderful pups/dogs that LOVE to play with stuffed animals. The problem is that they usually destroy them quickly, as they really enjoy playing with their stuffed toys together – with one pulling a leg & another pulling a arm, and they are also known to chew on them until they get to the insides – where they then work on spreading the filling all over our house.

Because of this we decided not to get them anymore plush toys. But then I read the description for Dr. Noys Teddy Bear & decided to give it a try. My “babies” have been playing with it for almost a month now and it’s still in pretty good condition – it’s nearly indestructable! (This is a record for us, as most stuffed animals are completely destroyed in an hour or less!)

The stitching is done extrememly well – with the only part getting chewed open being the nose. But one of the best things is that there’s only a tiny bit of stuffing in there – so even when they got the nose off, there was just one little blob of filling to pick up – and they can still play with it!

Another plus is how easy it is to replace the squeaker. We haven’t had to do it yet, but I checked it out – and it really is amazingly easy! And it comes with an extra squaker too!

Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Noys Plush Teddy Bear to all pet owners – it’s well made, nearly indestructable and our dogs LOVE it!

we have a bullmastiff, and these are the only toys I buy. Anything else is usually shredded with stuffing all over the house within about two hours. They are incredibly durable, and easily thrown in the washer.

I’ve had the Dr. Noys teddy bear in the medium size for almost 6 months, purchased for my 30 lb sheltie girl. Our dog is not a “sit down and try to rip apart” kind of dog, but she does love to play tug-o-war! I usually grip the head while she grabs onto either the squeaking body or one of the limbs, and she hops and pulls and shakes and play-growls until she gets too thirsty to continue. Hubby and I also play keep-away with the bear, tossing it back and forth so she’ll run between us for some exercise (she’s not much of a retriever). Sometimes she’ll pick up the bear and bring it over to me to let me know it’s time to play, but otherwise she really doesn’t play with the bear on her own. Not the fault of the bear, it’s just the way my sheltie is, and I hope it gives you a better idea of how this bear might hold up with your dog.

This bear came with a free replacement squeaker, which I placed inside the fleece bag that contains the other squeaker, for extra squeaking fun. Probably because of the extra protection the fleece gives, both squeakers have survived my little girl’s needle sharp teeth. The fleece thing inside the bear also gives it bulk, without that messy stuffing that dogs so love to pull out. I could hear and feel stitches pop on occasion while playing tug-o-war, but this toy really has held up well compared to other plush dog toys. For 5 months, this bear looked perfect, other than the slobber on it. Our bear has about three sizeable holes and is missing a bit of fur on its chest, which all happened in the last month, but we still use it because there’s no stuffing in the bear. I’m currently looking for another Dr. Noys toy as a replacement, when that teddy bear goes to tug-o-war heaven.

In addition to being very sturdy, this bear is super cute. I have a photo of the Dr. Noys teddy bear in the arms of my sheltie who was laying down, and it’s a photo I’ll cherish forever.

**UPDATE** We’ve purchased our 2nd Dr. Noys teddy bear in medium size. I tried buying regular stuffed animals, the kind intended for kids, at second hand stores but they all got pulled apart. We now have 2 shelties and they’ve been plucking at this Kong teddy bear’s nose for a week (they really like that fleecy material) and this bear is holding up like a champ.
