Petmate's JW Megalast Bear is an unusually tough squeaky toy. This is a thick and heavy toy with a recessed squeaker and a shape that's tough to gnaw. It is made in the USA from proprietary material that is 100% recyclable. It is available in assorted colors and two sizes, I highly recommend getting the larger size unless you have a really tiny dog.

Indestructible Dog Toys
Godzilla and Zip received several tough toys for Christmas, in an attempt to rein in the rate of
toy destruction around here. This one looked promising, possibly the toughest squeaky toy I've encountered so far.
Most squeakies are either plush toys, or thin vinyl. Neither can handle a power chewer, and most don't survive even moderate gnawing. This thing? It's heavy, thick, and made from the same stuff as other JW
Megalast toys. They aren't completely indestructible, but many power chewers can enjoy them without reducing them to tiny pieces.

The De-Squeaking

While the gummi bear is currently holding up to its second month of nonstop fetch and wild chomping, I can't say the same for its squeaker. Not sure what happened exactly, since it's still attached and everything. It just...stopped squeaking. I think the squeaker lasted about three days.
Pros
- Tougher than regular squeaky toys
- Big enough for large and giant breeds to play safely
- Shape makes it difficult to shred
- Tends to last power chewers longer than most toys
- Made in the USA
Cons
- Squeaker may cease to function
- Not actually indestructible
- No guarantee of durability
Bottom Line

Some dogs are still going to shred the Megalast Bear, but there are a lot of reviews from owners of power chewers stating that this is the only toy that lasts in their house. It's certainly holding up well around here! Happily, it's also pretty easy to find for under $10, so it's worth trying for your destructopuppy.
