Goughnuts Dog Toys for Aggressive Chewers Virtually Indestructible Dog Toys for Breeds Such as Pit Bulls and German

My dogs can't have anything nice. They chew through firehose toys, "Extreme Chewer - Super Duper Weaved - Quadruple Stitched - No Chewable Ends" toys you get at the local Walmart or pet store, and even the Kong Goodie Bone (Both the Classic and the Extreme). The only problem is that they just aren't that interested in it. I bought the Donut and the Stick version and they toss it around or gnaw on it every so often but they don't go to town on it like a Nylabone or the Kong Classic Dog Toy. It doesn't come flavored or scented, which my dogs don't care about because Kong products aren't either, however, it does have a more rubber(?) smell to it. Like the tire swing at your local park when you were a kid. That didn't seem to bother them they love playing tug of war with the donut shape for some reason, but when it comes to just chewing, they always default to the Kong. We've had bothe the donut and stick shapes for quite some time and they are still getting tossed around and played with so I'm giving 5 stars because they weren't destroyed the first day. In our house that is a testament to build quality. Maybe if they made a shape that could be stuffed with a treat or peanut butter it would open up to additional customers. I'd still recommend it. Dogs just have individual preferences. Read more

This is a VERY sturdy chew toy. Our dog plays with/chew on it everyday and there is NO signs of ware and tear. Read more

I am so pleasantly surprised by these!!! I am the skeptical dog parent of dogs that are VERY aggressive chewers who thrown tons of money away on the "non destructable," "tough" toys that claim to last even with aggressive chewers. For reference I have two dogs. A great dane boxer mix, who is 70lb, she is an aggressive chewer but things would last maybe a week. A pitbull mix, who is 59lb, he is a VERY aggressive chewer and has things destroyed within 10min, if we are lucky a "main chunk" of the destroyed toy may last a whole 24hrs. When I saw these I figured it would turn into the same story and was hesitant to click buy. After reading reveiws and the product description VERY carefully (to ensure I purchase the most fitting size/durability recommendation) I decided on the Medium, 30-70lb (Original size), Toughest HD Pro 50 (as the "color" choice). Then left I in my cart for a week to decided if I wanted to purchase it only to be heart broken like always. Finally, I clicked buy, and my pups and I excitedly awaited their arrival. My great dane mix knew the second brought them in there was something it that package for her! I opened them ready to see how indestructible these really where. Note: I recall reviews I read talking about smell. Okay so they so have a very 'tire factory' rubber smell, and if you touch it your hands they will smell like rubber. However the smell is not an issue for my dogs, and it doesn't seem to have a taste (if it does my dogs don't care, I wasn't as brave as the other reviewer who checked theirself). Now for the fun part! We released the toys to what we were sure would be their death, the dogs LOVED them, and like any new good toy, the dogs went to town chewing them and playing with them. They chewed and chewed till they couldn't any more, because their jaws were to tired!!!! The pit chewed on his, determined to kill it for TWO STRAIGHT HOURS! The pictures attached are from this first night. Today marks week THREE that we still have these toys and they are STILL all in one piece!!!! I am blown away by this. Now, the toys do have many more scuffs, holes and scratches but they are in one piece with no chunks missing. This has never happened in the life of a toy in my house!!! These toys are still a favorite and chewed/played with often. As a skeptical indestructible dog toy person, these toys and this company are a WIN! I have already recommended them to a friend and would highly recommend them to anyone. My only advice is throughly read the product description and guide to purchase the correct toy for your chewer. I hope this helps someone else find the forever toy for their pup! ***UPDATE*** It has been three months now, these toys are still alive and a favorite. I added two pictures to show them at two months in, sorry I meant to update this review then. My dogs have managed to get a few more chunks off one of them since then. But I have to stress how impressed I am with these toys, they are expensive, however, well worth the money because THEY DO LAST. We will be buying more just to have a different style. Read more

Seems very durable. I bought it because my dog was destroying any toy we bought so I searched for power chewer toys. I think this definitely fits the bill, but my dog didn't love it in comparison to other power chewer toys I bought her. I think it is because of the size. She's 42 lbs and doesn't have a huge mouth, so I think it is just too big for her bite. She does love to chase it when I roll it across the lawn though. Read more

Goughnuts arrived within 2 days. Bought one for our new rescue puppy and another for our 6-year-old Lab. The dogs LOVE them. They have been chewing and playing tug-of-war with them all afternoon and evening. Neither Goughnut shows any wear or the beginnings of falling apart. Our Lab can destroy an indestructible toy within minutes. They share toys, so the Lab is also chewing on the puppys smaller toy....and it's still in one, solid piece. Lives up to their advertisements. I'm over-the-moon happy with this toy. Well worth the money!! Read more

I'm sure this is a fine product and handling it as a human it certainly seems substantial and well made, but neither of my dogs are interested in this thing at all. I know that this is not anyone's fault, and my point really is that you should be prepared for the possibility that you might spend quite a bit of money on a dog toy that might not get used. And honestly, my dogs enjoy almost every kind of toy, so I was a little surprised that they didn't go for this at all. I suppose this is the risk of any product, but this doughnut is kind of expensive. If your dog loves this toy and you get to enjoy the fact that it actually gets used and you truly get to experience how indestructible it is, then I am really happy for you and your dog. For me, this toy is indestructible because my dogs don't want to destroy it or even play with it. I've tried to smear food on it, tried to play fetch, thrown it so it will bounce in crazy directions, attached a rope to get them to chase it or play tug, and my dogs just don't care for it at all. I asked my friend who has a bulldog and she said she got her dog the same toy and he's also uninterested. I might try to give this to my friend with a pittbull mix. I have a 50 pound extreme-chewer and a 30 pound moderate-chewer. They like to destroy and chew to the point where I wouldn't even consider a soft toy for them, so I was really hoping they would like this! Read more
