One of our two small dogs loves to chew toys (luckily, not anything else), so we've learned to stick with rubber ones that he can't tear apart and pull stuffing out of. I loved the look of this ball and was happy to add a new toy to his bin. Unfortunately, as another customer mentioned, it took our guy less than 5 minutes to pull off and eat about half of the "land" sections before we realized what was happening and took it away. I think this would be great for dogs who aren't big chewers, but it definitely didn't work for us.
