Pet Stages Hearty Chew

Morgan, our 7-month old German Shepherd puppy, just received this toy two days ago. She has chewed on it a lot, so obviously finds it enjoyable. She likes texture and this toy has a hard plastic ball in the middle with tied ropes. However, she was able to fray the red rope quite quickly and it looks like this toy might have a very short life with Morgan.

Pros: Larger size for large puppies, two textures

Cons: Frays easily

In my search for durable toys for my lab, it looked as though this would be a good choice. However, it did not take her long to chew through the rope and break the ball in half (it is actually 2 pieces glued together). This might be a better toy from a smaller dog.

Pros: would be good for a small dog

Cons: broke in half
