This toy is very sturdy and good quality bear toy. From my experience, the brand Kong is a very good and sturdy toys for dogs. My dog recieved this toy as a gift for Christmas and he has played with it a few times but has not managed to break the toy. For reference, I have a Shiba Inu and he loves to make little holes in the plushies and then destuff them. He has not done this to this one or another we have. He recieved a Kong brown bear toy over 6 months ago for his birthday and has only managed to almost remove the string from the face of the bear. Other than that, he has not broken the toy. He loves to somtimes simply squeeze the toy and sleep on it. The white bear is made very well and he enjoys playing with the white one from time to time. I added photos to show you the brown bear we purchased over 6 months ago and the new white bear we purchased early December 2024. I also placed photos of when I recieved the white bear in the mail in Dec 2024, new with tags and information for you. I hope this helps. God bless you.

My dog always loves the Kong brand toys because they last a long time and are made to withstand the bites and rough play. For reference, I have a Shiba and he loves to chew on small pieces and make holes then destuff the toy. He had not done it to this one yet, and even to one we got him for his birthday over 6 months ago. I added some photos for reference to show you. The brown Kong bear to the left, is the one he got over 6 months ago and he only has tried to remove the string from the face. The white Kong bear to the right is this product that he received as a Christmas gift 2024 and this toy is still in very great condition. These products have really stood the test of time and from my experience are very good products. I hope this helped. Blessings.
