Lasted 10 minutes.

My Border Collies and Labradors love it! It lasts really long and floats, which is absolutely brilliant. I can't understand some of the reviews here – of course it gets damaged if the dogs chew on it non-stop, but that's not what the Safe Stix is meant for. You shouldn't expect something from a product that it's not designed for... As I said, it's perfect for throwing and retrieving. It's simply not meant to be a chew toy, folks – there are other things for that.

Very disappointing durability

After 10 minutes, my Labrador had chewed the stick to pieces. I was hoping it would last longer...

Our Weimaraner female loves to destroy her toys. This toy has held up really well so far thanks to the tougher rubber. We're satisfied. Good value for money!

Our Safestix also broke after just one day. The idea itself is great, but the material isn’t particularly good.

Not even 3 minutes accidentally, broken on the first day. Picture in the customer images... I'm disappointed.

Unfortunately, it broke after just 2 days, and that for a price of £10.99... Next time, I’ll go for something else instead.

My Labradors love their Safestix. Even the size S has lasted us forever, so it's a clear recommendation from me.

The SafeStix was good for occasional play or for fetching... my Malinois has already destroyed the third one. It quickly develops cracks in the middle and doesn’t last very long. Great for fetching. For playing, tugging, or chewing on, it’s less suitable as it doesn’t hold up for long.

Very sturdy "stick" for fetching, tugging, etc. – absolutely ideal. It is indeed buoyant, but unfortunately, our Labrador girl doesn’t find it particularly great as it floats just below the water’s surface. However, outside of the water, it’s PERFECT – my little one can fetch sticks without any risk of injury from splinters...

My dogs have had it since Christmas. The perfect stick replacement! Especially my young female dog loves carrying it around by the end, and with sticks, there would be a huge risk of injury! It’s used almost daily and shows no signs of wear and tear, despite some really rough tug-of-war games. Sometimes even with 3 JRTs at the same time. Highly recommended without hesitation!

My lab / border dog loves it during her walk but also at home ! The stick is very strong !

We've had the blue stick for about 3 years now, and for about 1 year, we've had a second one in pink to match! Grandma and grandchild have already played lots of tug-of-war games with them. Not so great for humans to hold, as it's veeeery slippery due to saliva!

The Safestix didn’t last 10 minutes. Not a durable dog toy.

We've had this Safestix for a few months now, and it's still "alive". Our 1.5-year-old lively shepherd dog still enjoys it. When we go for walks, we always mix things up—sometimes we take the Stix, sometimes a frisbee, and sometimes a ball with a string for playing. The Stix is sturdy enough and a much better throwing and fetching toy than splintering sticks. We're happy with it!

The Safestix would be great if it were sturdier. Our dog, a Bernese Mountain Dog-Rottweiler mix, chewed off the ends, i.e., the rounded parts, on the very first day. We had the blue one! If it were made from the same material as the black Kong, I’d give it another try.

My dog immediately accepted the stick as a replacement for wooden sticks. Over time, they became too dangerous for me, as he loves to "catch" sticks and then chew them to bits. The bright colour is also great – at least you can find the thing in the grass!

We received the Safestixx as a gift from a friend when our dog moved in, and we've been very impressed ever since. It's excellent as a throwing toy and can even withstand a 30 kg dog tugging on it without any issues. Only the Ridgeback male of an acquaintance (50 kg) managed to cause a few cracks in the Safestixx with a single bite. For our dog, it's her absolute favourite toy—she even ignores other dogs for it. We would buy the Safestixx again and again. Note: It is not a chew toy!

My dog will chew through majority of toys. This safe stix is fab. Recommend if you have to buy extra tuff toys.
