Are the toppers strong enough surviving from being chewed heavily? My child chews & bites a lot. All sensory toppers are torn apart in a day. Thanks.

i believe that all of the toppers can only take so much, and although it is made well, i would recommend that you rotate a few of the toppers daily. that way the abuse is spread evenly among a few toppers.

Mine is some heavy duty plastic/rubber. Mine is holding up so far and its been a few months.

My son has used them for about 3 months now and they are still in good shape. The teacher helps remind him each day to rinse and dry them before putting away. He heavily used them the first 2 weeks, and although chews now, not as heavily as at first.

Can't think of any new product that would be safe for kids. If they were stiffer, they might poke a small child. It took a day or two but they lay correctly now. Perhaps during packing, they could package the whiskers in shrink wrap to keep them straight. When the customer unpacks, they would simply slit open the shrink wrap packs. Just a thought, may be too cost prohibitive.

You will NOT be able to break these. I order the large ones for my Labradoodle - it takes her a good 2 to 3 months to get this chewed down to the point that I took it away from her. She LOVES these.

I don't know if you've gotten responses yet, but I would try the Extreme (black) Kong toys, especially the XL or XXL black kong and the large black kong ball. I had a extreme power chewer and he played with his for 6mths and still no wear (the ball). Eventually he did start getting little pieces off the regular kong, but it still was very durable. I would recommend getting a kong that is bigger than you think he needs, b/c that will make it more difficult to damage, while still allowing him to play with it easily. And you can check out the huge nylabones (non-edible) and see how those work for him; mine was a 60lb lab, and he could destroy any except the largest very quickly. They are great for supervised play though. Hope this helps!

No, i don't think they are choking hazard. I bought this for my 2 year old one year ago and she did just fine - built it up and then tore it back down. My 6 month old plays with them just fine too, she will just gnaw on them when ever she can get her hands on them. Hope that helps :)

Dear Rosemary, in less than one day, the ear, antler, and one front leg were chewed off. Nyla bones, and Kong hard rubber toys are what works best for our growing puppy. To add excitement, put a small amount of creamy peanut butter on the chew toy and save your babies teeth if you can find them. Hugs, Ron

If you secure them on properly then they shouldn't be able to be pulled off by your dog. Now if you are asking if the material can be chewed off then I'd say its possible if you have a dog that's a chewer. When I first put them on mine he is constantly trying to chew them off, so I have to make sure he isn't playing with them. The quality is great, so as long as you're not letting your dog mess around with them then they should hold up.

I just used the glue that came with them, like superglue. Just a medium dot in each tip. I did not have a problem, she did chew at first but quite pretty quickly when squirted with the squirt bottle. :-)

Definitely. I have a large pitbull that ate through one of those extreme kongs without hesitation but as longs as there is a treat in the end she was more fixated on the treat than destroying the toy itself. It took her a few hours to eat the treat ends as well

My daughter loved this toy so much, which is why we bought one for another baby we know. She never chewed on things very much, so I never thought about your concerns. Contact Manhattan Toy Company. I bet they can answer your question.

I don't believe so. You might have to check with companies customer service. I have small children and dogs that have chewed them and haven't had any problems. Again, I would check with the company.

It would probably be able to withstand for a few weeks. We have a 1.5 year old 35 lb pit that gnaws on everything. She destroyed this and got to the red within 2 months. She chewed on it every day of the week for 4-5 hrs a day too.

My daughter chews on the borders and hasn't been able to rip them yet. Now, if she kept at it, she could do it, but I don't think that puppy claws will destroy them, although they will mark them.

I have had to place one at a time on the back of his tongue and hold his head up so he can't spit it out. Sometimes he will eat them with his food or once the bites into them. He is very picking and dissects everything he eats, even layered bones and treats.

They are hard, but not as hard as a raw hide. My 10 year old carries it around for awhile, and then eats it in one sitting.

I gave them to my daughter for her 55-lb Rhodie-pit mix, because I thought they presented a choking hazard for my 95-lb lab mix. My daughter's dog also peels them. She has not yet peeled these, and she's had them for a few days, so I think they might be a bit tougher.

I'm a new customer, so this is just my opinion, but they are very similar to a balloon material-wise and shouldn't bother the dog. They may try to chew on them though and I don't think that would be good because the first pair I used started to tear from toenails after the second use...so I would worry that the dog may chew through them and swallow the material. If the dog wouldn't chew the material, they may work great for you.
