I absolutely love this toy, but not as a chew toy. As a chew toy, this kong ring does NOT live up to the durability of the kong name. The squeaking function and toy itself can be destroyed in a matter of hours (or even less) if your dog really goes at it.

The reason I still love this toy, however, is that it is one of the most fun and unique toys to play fetch with! If you hold it perpendicular to how you would hold a frisbee and throw/roll it on the ground it bounces and rolls extremely far. Using this technique and really hurling it at the ground, I can make this toy go much further than a tennis ball. My lab absolutely loves to chase it because the toy bounces up with every little bump in the ground and it takes a little more strategy to fetch than a tennis ball.

I have bought 2 of these because my lab loves to fetch it so much. Every time I take it to the dog park and start throwing it, people ask me what kind of toy it is and comment on how fun it looks. My dog carries it around and acts like he's the coolest kid on the playground.

The first one lasted several months (I wouldn't let him lay down and just chew on it, it was for fetch only), and my second one lasted 2 months. The weak point in the toy are the two seams where the two halves of the donut fits together. This seam is held together with an adhesive that is prone to weakening in heat (don't leave it in the hot sun or in a hot car all day long). In fact the toy itself warps considerably when left in a hot car all day long. One of mine broke apart at the seam after a couple of weeks and I super glued it back together (this made it last another month and a half).

I debated giving this less than 5 stars because it has some very obvious flaws, but I just couldn't because my lab loved it so much and for 10 bucks it was well worth it for me. I will be buying another one.

The squeaking is loud until it stops working, which happened quickly on both of mine even though I only used it for fetch.

My dogs play with this toy all the time. The squeaker didn't last a day but the toy is still intact and getting played with!

We have three dogs. Two are pitbull mixes. Our third dog is a shepherd mix. All three are great dogs, but they have destroyed every toy we have purchased. These toys have been great. They have had them for two weeks. They are still in perfect condition. They play with them daily. Absolutely love the product. However if your dog does not have great jaws, asmaller size might be better. Amazon did a great job getting it to me quickly.

Honest reviews on KONG Squeezz Ring Dog Toy, Large, Colors Vary

This toy is fun AT FIRST, but does not last too long with large dogs. Even though it is a large, it is pretty small for my GSDs. They had a blast with it when it was new. They love the squeaking and the softness of the ring. It's also fun to throw/roll it on the ground for them. The squeaker only lasted a few days with them though, and after a week or two my boy started tearing the thing apart. It's made with a totally different material than a regular Kong rubber toy.

The large size, shape of the ring and the squeak it makes is great for a dog to chew on. It's not a continuous peice of rubber/plastic, but has two seams in it. The rubber/plastic material is fairly soft & squishy.

My dog loved it while it lasted. Even though we only gave it to him for 15 minutes at a time, under our supervision, his teeth easily poked a hole in the ring making the squeaker useless. Then within a few days of further supervised playing, he broke the ring in two at the seams.

The ring would have been sturdier if a harder plastic was used and if there weren't any seams (weak points) in it. For $9.58 and the KONG reputation, I was fooled into believing it would last. Unless you have a gentle dog, don't waste your money.
