It amazes me that people say "it only lasted an hour" or "Only lasted a week". If your dog is focused on anything and is a strong chewer, nothing with stitching can take constant abuse.
We have strong chewers, but these toys allow our dogs some time with a stuffed toy. However, once playtime is over and they lay down and just start chewing, we take them away for awhile. These are not chew toys (like kongs and everlansting)
A regular stuff animal gives us about 30 seconds. Our dogs spent 10-20 minutes at a time playing with these and we've gotten well over a year with them.
These toys do hold up to some really rough playing, but they won't hold up to 2 constant hours of a good chewer, they aren't meant to be chew toys, but they hold up while awaiting you to intervene.
Ours have lasted more than a year, but we don't give them unlimited, unsupervised time to work at it.
We've been realistic with what a stitched toy can endure and have been real happy with these.Firstly, we love Tuffy Toys in our house! I purchase toys with the hope that they stick around for awhile, but not forever. I give this football a 3 in comparison to other large Tuffy Toys. The seams are as strong as ever; it took months for my labs to get through the seams. However, my girl likes to carry the football around by biting around the "body." Unfortunately the sides are not nearly as strong as the seams, and her teeth went through it easily. This exposed the stuffing more quickly than I would have liked. All Tuffy Toys seem to be packed (and I mean PACKED) with stuffing, and this football was the worst offender so far. It looked like it snowed all over my downstairs. So basically, if you have a "de-stuffer" for a dog, I recommend a Tuffy toy with more seams.
Buy Tuffy's Mega Odd Ball Dog Toy Now
I bought the mega oddball previously and my mom allowed my dog to have it in his crate. He ate the logo off and promptly destuffed the toy. The exterior remains of the ball, however, have endured weeks of play with minimal damage, so I believe the toy would have survived fine if mom hadn't made the mistake of leaving it unsupervised with our chewer. I just purchased two more. My 3 pit bulls love them and will literally plat tug of war, not letting go, for 15 minutes at a time. They are majorly powerful, but the ball has only minimal fraying after days of play that includes vigorous shaking and tug-wrestling. I am very happy. My boys love stuffed toys, but I hate cleaning up the stuffing explosion. And on amazon, the mega oddball comes at a great price. I definately reccomend for your power chewers. I am planning on getting something with a better grip for human hands next so that I can get in on the epic tug of wars. The mega oddball is too big to get a good grip, but great for throwing.My lab likes to immediately destuff (kill) any toy I give her. These Tuffy toys are the only ones that last for a long period of time with her. Labs Chew, chew and chew some more. I am so happy that I found this product. For any dog that destroys his/her toys, I would highly recommend this product.Fell apart and all the insides out all over the floor within a day. Called company that makes it they say do can not let dog and chew the toy so I guess you have to watch them when they use it.
