Wubba Friends Ballistic Dog Toy - Durable Interactive Squeaky Toy, Assorted Colors/Animals, Fetch & Tug-of-War (Small)

We have a 1 year old dog and she is a very aggressive chewer who loves to tug and fetch. We received the toy 8 days ago and it isn't destroyed yet. She chewed an ear off the toy in the first day and I took it from her for a while when she started aggressively pulling on the band around the neck. We gave it back to her the next day. She loves this toy. It is her go-to for tug and fetch right now. The picture below is after 8 days with my aggressive chewer.

Very well made, my friends dog will like it!

Australian Cattle Dog absolutely loves this wubba, this is her "goto" toy when stressing. It has finally started shredding at the bottom and time to replace it but the Country Store doesn't let you choose which animal/color you get so she ended up with a pink hippo which she absolutely refuses to play with - no idea why the rabbit is okay but not the hippo.

I hate giving KONG a bad review, but this is specifically about the animal-shaped Wubbas which have projecting ears. The normal Wubba toys are ok, they last a little while and then get wrecked, and I accept this because my dog, although only 75 lbs., is an English Bull Terrier, so he can destroy basically everything, eventually. That said, he has had five Wubba toys over the past year, and four of them (the normal round ones, with no faces or ears) have basically limped along for weeks or even months, albeit in various stages of torn-apartedness. This one I just ordered with face and ears (I ordered a rabbit but received something that looked like a panther) was literally shredded in less than 15 minutes, so *** all that remained *** was a wet orange lumpy mass, hundreds of scattered orange fibers and dozens of balls of white stuffing all over my patio. My dog immediately grabbed the thing by the ears, put his paws on the head, and ripped the head open (and then off), in less than one minute. If your dog has the capacity to wreck things, if you are going to get a Wubba (and for the record, I will continue to buy them, and many other KONG products), just order the normal round Wubba. Do NOT get these animal characters with protruding ears, as they function just like the little plastic thing on a package of food that you pull on to tear open the top of the package. I love KONG, but these are not good.

The KONG Wubba Ballistic Friends Dog Toy caught my eye as a potentially durable and entertaining toy for my German Shepherd. Initially, it was a hit—my dog absolutely loved the shape and the squeaking sound that kept going no matter how hard he played. However, the joy was short-lived. Despite being an X-Large size and from a brand known for durability, the toy only lasted about a week with my GSD. He quickly turned it into a mission to disassemble it, successfully chewing off the legs and eventually the head, exposing the stuffing inside. Impressively, the squeaker survived the onslaught and continued to function! While this toy provided a good deal of fun and excitement initially, it’s not built to withstand the determined efforts of heavy chewers like my dog. It might be better suited for dogs who are less intense about their toys. If you have a dog that loves to chew and tear, this might not be the most economical choice for lasting entertainment.

I’ve bought many of these wubbas, not because they get destroyed but because we lose them eventually. We live by a lake and my dog absolutely loves to swim and this toy floats and the shape makes it very easy to fling out far so I don’t have to throw it as often! Haha and this one in particular is a nice bright orange which I think will help with not losing it as easily. Past ones I have bought were dark blue or purple which is harder to see in the water. I always rebuy them though because they have worked so well for us and my English lab absolutely loves it! They are great for land or sea! Great tug of war toy and holds up very well compared to any other toys I’ve purchased. I had the sowing come loose on the last one i purchased recently but we’ve had it at least a year and even lost it in the lake for a while and found it some time later and still use it! It is still usable even with some of the sowing coming undone. They don’t last forever but what can with 130 lb dog who loves to play rough! He destroys every other toy in literally seconds! I highly recommend these for playing in water and in the house!

The toy is fine, but, I didn't know that I was going to receive a different style/color. I thought that I was getting the item that is pictured. I wanted the item pictured.

I love these toys and so does my German Shepherd. He can go through a stuffed toy in one afternoon…tearing and shaking all of the stuffing out. These toys last and last. He’s now had the first for several months and has not been able to get through the outer fabric. Hence, the squeaker is intact, and no stuffing or shredded fabric is laying around. He is still very interested in the toy (currently have 3). This is by far the best toy we’ve discovered and is definitely worth the price.
