KongCross Knots Monkey Dog Toy M/L

So far this toy has lasted longer than any other toy we’ve bought for our German shepherd/potcake mix. By far.This poor pup loves toys, but they just cannot love him back. I have never seen a dog so proud and happy to have a new toy as this guy, but have yet to find one that can hold up to his aggressive love. Even when supervised, he would destroy most of his toys-- even so-called “indestructible” toys--within minutes.Not Blue Monkey. He got this for his first birthday on July 1 and so far, it is still hanging in there.We have learned some lessons along the way. For one thing, he is not allowed unlimited access or unsupervised play. Blue Monkey only comes out when we can keep an eye on him. But he loves this toy. He carries it outside when he needs to go potty. He naps with his chin resting on it. If we even say the words “Blue Monkey” he will get up and search for him. And boy, oh boy, do his eyes light up when he finds it.Three weeks in and several hours of play and doggy happiness (and lots and lots of slobber) and there are minimal signs of wear. The nose and ears are still attached, one string from under the nose down to the mouth came unattached and we simply snipped it off. There is a small tear on one ear, and we are watching that, if it gets too loose we will cut it off so he does not decide to tear at it.Do I think this toy will last for months and months? Probably not. But the fact that it has lasted this long without falling apart is an encouraging sign. Best of all, it makes our pup ridiculously happy -- so it's well worth the price. He has even stopped stealing (and obliterating) the kitty's toys now that he has his own. Which certainly makes the kitty more willing to tolerate the pup.We will definitely be purchasing more of these toys.

My dog tears up every stuffed toy he gets. Most are done in a few days if not hours after giving them to him. These knots are the first toys that he takes his time with. He still destroys them eventually, but he's had a few that have lasted a few months before ripping into them. They don't appear more durable at first glance but something about them slows him down. The knotted rope inside also makes them more durable for tug of war games where lesser toys might have a leg or arm pulled off.

Our dog loves toys. This one lasted maybe 2 days before seeing stuffing coming out. I don't understand why companies add stuffing to dog toys.

Like. It’s Kong good toyHe has held up to a rough 11 lb boy pup he is PomeranianStands up by its name it’s a Kong it’s rough and tuffIf want something they can’t tare up look at the know ones

My great pyrenees loved this toy so much but she was VASTLY offended the thing had a tail. Was a tragic day when she ripped the tail off as she wouldn't mess with it so much afterwards. But kept her busy till then.
