I bought this for my lab who can distroy a toy in a day. I thought the Kong brand toys were expensive. But the Kong toys last forever. I can spend $20 on 5 toys that will last 3 days, or spend $20 on 1-2 Kong toys that will last 6 months. We have a Kong ball that Chloe got 11 months ago that has seen a lot of action, but it is her favorite toy.
