I’m not sure what Nico enjoys more, fetching his lunker or running around like a crazy man with it afterward. While this is the best floating toy we’ve had for retrieving, it isn’t at the top of the list for durability. I will say that it is above average for dog toy durability, but Nico likes to bite down hard on it when he is bringing it back.
