KONG - Wubbaª Tugga - Durable Cotton Rope Tug of War Dog Toy - For X-Large Dogs (Assorted Colors)

This was a replacement for the first toy that my german shepherd granddog didn't destroy immediately. I was disappointed when we couldn't find one locally but happy to find it on Amazon and cheaper than the original. If you have a strong dog that likes to chew and play fetch, this is an excellent toy. it took him 6 months to tear up the first one! Updated Feb 9, 2013 Still going strong after 5 months of rough play. It's starting to show a little wear but I think it might outlast the first one which made it 6 months. And most toys don't make it 6 days. Updated Nov. 1, 2013. We're on our third one. Still haven't found a toy that outlasts this one. We are a bit calmer now that we are getting older, and the last one held out for nine months or so.

So far, my 8 month old, 105 pound Newfoundland puppy is a master destroyer of all things, including all of the "indestructible" toys like the Kong Extreme (BTW: NOT indestructable). She's had this for 6 months and I just had to lay it to rest yesterday and order a new one. Maybe 6 months doesn't sound like a lot to other people, but to me, it's borderline miraculous. I will say though, it only lasted this long because she saves her concentrated chewing for her rubber and plastic toys, which she pretty effectively annihilates on a regular basis. This she merely carries around, fetches and tugs. This is a product that I would highly recommend and it's a toy that my Newf would definitely miss if it weren't replaced...it's practically her favorite toy. To address any preceding or proceeding reviewers bemoaning the fact that their dog chewed this to pieces, let me just say that This. Is. Not. A. Chew. Toy. It says so in the product description. This is a "tug and toss" toy. Of course your Pitbull or GSD (or whatever) ripped it to shreds after chewing on it for 10 minutes, because that is not what this product was meant for. It's longevity depends more on your dog's personal chewing habits than anything else. If your dog doesn't like to tug or play fetch with it's toys and just immediately goes to town trying to destroy whatever toy is given to it, this toy will be ruined. That doesn't mean that this is a bad toy, it means it's not being used as it's meant to be. Also, there is no such thing as an indestructible dog toy. My Newf chews on the fire hydrant in front of our house and it's no worse for the wear. If you're looking for indesructible, I'd recommend a fire hydrant.

My dogs love all of the Kong toys but the tugga wubba is probably their favorite! We can throw it for them and it is easy for them to pick up. Also when we are not playing with them they can entertain themselves tugging on it with eachother. I do wish it was more durable but with 2 big dogs it does a great job. It stays in the backyard until it is in pieces and the squeaker middle has fallen out so it is definitely worth the cost. Our current tugga wubba has been enjoyed for a few months (and it's still going strong). We always have a backup on hand!

I ordered the Kong Tugga Wubba for my 7 month old Golden Retriever after she played with one at another dog's house. She absolutely loved it and did not tear it up at all after 3 weeks. HOWEVER, I ordered one from here, the exact same Kong Tugga Wubba with squeaky middle, etc. I did NOT receive this item. I received a Kong Tugga Wubba with a rope middle, something I would not have ordered ever because my golden likes to tear up ropes. I decided not to deal with the hassel of returning it over such a small amount of money. By the end of the day, the toy was torn up and ruined. I wish I would have received the item I actually ordered. Highly disappointed. Be careful.

My dogs loved this toy to death. Literally. I received it from Anazon on Tuesday. It's Saturday now, and it's just a shadow of its former self. The flaps are all gone, and the center, tougher section is frizzed. I bought the extra large version for my year-old Pit Bull, and he just loved it. I bought a bunch of different toys in that shipment--so far, the West Paw tug toy has held up to tons of abuse and suffers no ill effects. See it here-- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004A7X22W/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i03?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I also bought the Tug O Rope (here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004HSN4FY/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) which has also stood up to similar abuse. I bought the Kong Ultra Black in extra large, too--these hold up, but they all get bored with them, even with the cookies inserted. I hope this review helps out :) Certainly we have a special-situation with a big boy (85 pounds) Pitty baby, so if yours isn't as rough on toys, it's a good toy. I think my beagles, if left only to their own with this, would not have loved it to death, but rather just loved it.

These are great toys! Our English mastiff has several --- in different stages of being personalized, with strings hanging & pieces worked on in unique ways --- that prove this an absolutely wonderful, strong, sturdy toy that gives weeks of pleasure to big chewers. This toy holds together, no matter what she does to it --- yes, sometimes an entire blue strap will come off, but the strings & such stay put. She's happy & her folks are happy because there's no mess with this toy: Keeping a 175-pound chewer happy, without having debris is a happy miracle. We buy them as "add on" items & are happy, happy!

Okay, I have a 19 month old Belgian Mal. He is a great Bite Dog/Working Dog! He loved this thing, however we purchased this on 8/14/15 recieved like 3-4 days later! It has been killed! My dog loved it so much that he began by pulling the tassels off and well enough said! I have to say I love Kong Products, I am not saying do not purchase it withstood a 90 lb. dog hanging onto it and being lifted up and spun around during training sessions... I am purchasing a stock pile of these since these seem to be his favorite. Just don't leave dog alone with the toy if they are destructive. Toys are mine, not his, he plays with them and I allow him to play with my toys... I will never leave him alone with this favorite of his again to assist me in saving some money! Again... He loved the toy so I guess that means I am very fond of it as well!! Buy it, it is worth it, even if the dog destroys it, that just means they liked it!!!

UPDATE: DO NOT buy into all the negative reviews for this toy - it is NOT meant to be a chew toy; it's designed to be a 'toss & fetch' toy, and my dog has had his for TWO YEARS and not even a single string off of it! He has other toys we give him that are specifically designed (and stated in product description) for chewing on; this isn't one of them. The description CLEARLY states, this toy is for 'toss & fetch' play. Don't blame the people that can't or don't read before buying and leaving this toy with the dog to chew up. My dog would chew it up too, if we left it with him to chew, but WE DON'T, because it's a 'TOSS & FETCH' toy!! This is one of my dog's favorite toys!! He loves to fetch, so this is very easy to toss (not too heavy, but extremely well made; tough material), but strong enough to put up with some serious tugging. Even the loose strips on the ends are made of incredibly durable material, and my fur baby will chase/tug with this for hours. Well worth the money!!

Das spielzeug ist supper an spruch voll es hällt das was versprochen wird es reisen bei uns drei hunde dran rumm und es hällt es sind drei Border Collies werde es dann noch mal bestehlen

Je recommande à tous ceux, qui comme moi, ont un chien destructeur de jouet ! En effet, tous les "coinscoins" ou autres peluches qui couinent durent environ 2 minutes entre les crocs de mon chien (border collie) et après, je dois lui enlever pour ne pas qu'il avale les bouts. Ce jouets en corde le diverti et le tissu est vraiment solide !

I hadn't seen this design before but my dog already loves his Kong Wubba - it is the only thing still in (almost) one piece as he rips most things - so I had to try it. Well this item is twice as good as the standard Wubba for him as he is fascinated by the tails and working to detach them from the body and this toy has twice the tails! The squeak feels robust and so far it is standing up well to the attentions of a terrier, he has 'killed' two of the tails but I just stitched them back on so good as new. If you have a dog who is very tough on toys I would recommend this item.

anche non avendo trovato la vecchia caramella che il mio labrador aveva questa la sostituisce degnamente, anzi posso dire che e' molto piu' resistente del vecchio prodotto, la consiglio a tutti!

Apart from the original Kong, this item stands up to an 'Attack of the Malamutes' and is only the second in 6 months, pretty damn good. This stands up well to tug-o-war with my only negative being that the XL doesn't squeak like the L did, so maybe it'll live even longer. Very little to become detached and swallow/choke on, it's not a chew toy . . they're bones for that. I can recommend it for safe entertainment !
