Very sturdy rubber toy. My dog doesn’t like playing with it on her own; she finds it too boring for that. But she’s all in when it comes to tug-of-war together!

My Weimaraner loves these can entertain himself for hours

Basically great – we’re currently getting our 11-month-old Border Collie used to swimming. The stick is perfect in terms of size and weight. However, it takes a relatively long time to resurface – a slightly inexperienced dog might miss it. And we were "unlucky" to get a "water blue" one. Especially in sunlight, it’s very hard to see for both humans and dogs. At this price, I’d really like to have a choice of colours!

At the moment, the Safestix are still being used for carrying around and chewing on, and so far, they’re holding up. It’s just a shame that you can’t choose the colour freely.

The Safestix looks sturdy and is easy to throw. Unfortunately, since there was no option to choose the colour, I received a green one, which, unfortunately, is sometimes hard to spot in the lake even for me, let alone for the dog in the water. As a result, the toy quickly lost its appeal and is now just lying in the corner.

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!

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!

My Continental Bulldog loves this stick. She carries it the whole time while we're out walking. If you throw it and she doesn't find it straight away, the advantage is that I can spot it easily in the grass thanks to its bright colour, so it doesn't get lost. At home, she doesn't get it because I'm worried for its survival. Bulldogs are great chewers, so you need something like the Kong Extreme for that. Unfortunately, I relied on the stick being able to float. Luckily, the stream wasn't very deep, so I was able to retrieve the stick from the bottom. Not buoyant!! But I would buy it again anytime. Absolutely brilliant.

When the package arrived, I thought: what a great dog toy. Unfortunately, my two (Fox Terrier and Podenco mix) weren’t interested in the Stix at all; it’s now lying in the corner and not being played with. Wooden sticks are much more exciting for the two of them. Such a shame.

The shape and colour could still use a bit of work... ;) The product is absolutely sturdy, floatable, lightweight, and was well received by our dogs. For my taste, the Kong Safestix is a bit too narrow for a shepherd's bite, but too long for a smaller dog.
