Terrifying jaw strength..
Color: Green, Size: Medium(30-55 lbs)
Have 2 Corgi and it scares me that they make this thing squeak. The bite pressure they have now from working out jaw to squeak this like it's nothing. Didn't expect our smaller corgi to be able to squeak this couldn't at first now she just goes ham on it like it's no big deal.

Very sturdy for an aggressive chewer
Color: Green, Size: Large(50-90 lbs)
I was so surprised that this has lasted so long for my Black lab, who is an aggressive chewer. It is his all-time favorite toy. He chews it many times every day and the squeaker still works!

I FINALLY GOT AN INDESTRUCTIBLE TOY!!! Yes!
Color: Green, Size: Large(50-90 lbs), Color: Green, Size: Large(50-90 lbs)
This one is TRULY indestructible! I’ve been purchasing one after another trying to find something that she cannot break in 5 mins. Everything I’ve ordered (until this one) has been SHREDDED in 3-10 minutes!
It’s TRUE RUBBER! I’m so happy with my purchase!
See the picture below- we’ve had it for a couple months now and she has barely chewed off just a few small nubs! Which she’s proud of 😆
If you truly want a challenge for your CRAZY DOG- you will love this squeaker!

Rough and tough chew toy
Color: Azure, Size: Large(50-90 lbs)
This is a thick and heavy duty toy to stand up to medium to large dogs who are heavy chewers. And the rough textures really encourages my dog and it is the perfect size to throw and play fetch. Very sturdy…I bought around Christmas and it’s almost may and she hasn’t destroyed it yet!!!

Very sturdy and strong toy
Color: Green, Size: Large(50-90 lbs)
This keeps my dog busy. He has a blast with it. It is a little bit big for his mouth, but he still seems to have fun with it. My dog is German Shepherd and Australian Shepherd.
