Hyper Products Hyper Stick Chew Toy for Medium Dogs

I have both the large and now the medium size and my labs love the medium one the best. It is tough and doesn't splinter or break off. So far it is pretty Labrador proof (8 of em vie for it in the yard). Great for land retrieves and tug of war!

I know other people didn't rate this product very high, but my dog loves these (this is the 3rd one I've bought...) Luckily, she's a chewer-not an eater, because she chews it in tiny pieces. She does this to most of her toys and this one lasts a long time. Hours of mulching fun.

This stick is made of rubber but I question the other ingredients. My springer spaniel chewed a large piece off of the stick within 2 minutes. I had to throw the toy away. Lesson learned.

When I opened the box that these came in (I ordered 2, one for both of my dogs) I was immediately overwhelmed by the intense rubber smell. It was stronger than a new set of tires. Even if you were someone who doesn't worry much about the safety of the chemical makeup of things your dog plays with - this 'toy' would give you pause. But, I figured in the end if they sell it, it must be safe and the smell will go away.One dog won't go near it, even if I put peanut butter on the inside of it. The other dog, at least went after the peanut butter. The thing is, he is not real strong and even he bit a piece of the rubber off the first (and only) time he used it. There is a reason it was only [$]. It was NOT worth it at all.

Finally found a toy my camp buddy can't destroy. Has a strong rubber odor which is good and bad. Good cause your pup will sniff it out when you throw it, but may be a bit strong indoors. Great for camping trips.
