"I bought 3 Petstages toys b/c all the reviews made them sound extremely sturdy: the ring toss, the shake & toss and this Orka chew. Of all 3, my one year old boxer took least of all to this one.
When she finally settled down to play with this one, she 1) pulled the strings out from the plastic tube immediately and then 2) chewed the rubber tube in half. This occured within a half hour of concentrated chewing.
This toy is definitely NOT for power chewers, as another reivew states. Also, unlike the other 2 toys which were all material, I was extremely concerned that she might have swallowed some of the rubber tube after chewing through it.
Major dissappointment. I still searching for a quality & sturdy chew toy that will capture my boxer's attention without an annoying squek toy inside."
