Introduction

Let me introduce you to Max,  a parti-poodle and death to so-called 'tough toys for aggressive chewers' and volunteer for my own  Consumer Reports Guide for same.

I don't know how many dollars we've spent on these so-called  'tough toys',  only to find them shredded into gazillions of bits and pieces in short order.    

Max is the only dog I've ever owned that absolutely loves his toys and loves shredding them.  

His saving grace is that his toys are the only thing he shreds.

On this page we are going to examine the 'tough toy' offerings from the purveyors of same, in no particular order.

Actually,  I should have started this off a couple years ago.  There have been many $$ spent since then.......

Tough Duck - Let's Start Out 2012 with a Real Winner

Tough Duck

Wow!  The label looks 'tough', doesn't it!

Tough Duck

I dunno..........Other than the tail,  this looks highly questionable.

Tough Duck

00:00 - Max is introduced to the 'Tough Duck' (Note the slightly dreamy look?).

10 Minutes

00:10  -  Toy is removed for closer observation.

One wing has been shredded and the duck's brains are in the process of being excised from the head.

Observations were dutifully noted and toy returned to the Standard Poodle.

20 Minutes

No Guts

00:20 -  'Tough Duck' has been eviscerated.

A closer examination reveals the brain is still attached to the brain stem and one wing remains relatively intact.

RIP

00:25 -  Duck Lips are missing the rest of the duck.
