We have been buying this and all the Kong animal knot toys for are 2 1/2 year old Bichon. Within the last year they have gone to the dogs, The arms, legs, ears, and all knot extremities used to be sewed really good onto the body, and now the dog rips them out just by shaking the thing. We have been still buying them because the dog loves them, but thats going to soon stop. She goes through 2 of these things a week. Before they started making them junky, she would go through 1 in 3 weeks.
