A favorite for my boys!
Color: Hambone Super Chewer, Size: M/L
My dogs love this toy, it satisfied their need to rip up a toy and still allowed them to play long after the top layer was torn apart to enjoy! It bounces well and has still held up with my chewers, this is still one of my dogs favorite toys to play fetch with!

Great toy
Color: Hambone Super Chewer, Size: M/L
My dog loves this toy so much. He's not quite so aggressive with his chewing, now that he's getting older, but this toy lasted through his younger years, and recently started to show signs of wear. He was so sad when I threw it out, that I had to replace it. Glad it still exists - we got the first one probably 5 years ago.

Great for heavy chewers
Color: Hambone Super Chewer, Size: M/L
Our dog is a hard core chewer! This toy is very durable. Even the covering has lasted. We assumed we would need to take the cover off right away but it’s still going after 3 months. It’s definitely chew resistant

Great treat dispenser
Color: Hambone Super Chewer, Size: M/L
Great rubber toy, the outside fabric did not last long, so glad that it is a treat holder/dispenser otherwise it would have been done for in about 10min. The opening for the treats is pretty small so can only fight thinner broken up treats. Great for larger dog that likes to dissect her toys, keeping her entertained longer and no fluff all over the house

My dog loves this toy!
Color: Hambone Super Chewer, Size: M/L, Color: Hambone Super Chewer, Size: M/L
My dog LOVES this toy. It is so cute. It was a little smaller than I thought it would be, but it’s actually the perfect size for him. He carries it everywhere with him, and if he happens to have forgotten it, we say “go get your pig” and you can see it click in his head that he forgot it, and he runs to get it. He loves to drop it to make it bounce. He is 9, he used to instantly rip anything to shreds, but he seems to have gotten a little more delicate in his older age and after a few weeks hasn’t gotten through to the harder toy yet. Once this toy bites the dust, we will have to buy him another because of how much he loves his pig.
