West Paw Zogoflex Hurley / Tux — review & rating
Is West Paw Zogoflex Hurley / Tux a good choice?
Tough, floatable and non-toxic, with a guarantee against chewer damage — the Hurley for fetch and water, the stuffable Tux for enrichment. Not indestructible (replace when punctured) and not a hard gnaw bone, but among the safest tough toys you can buy.

Frequently asked questions
How does the guarantee work?
West Paw will replace a Zogoflex toy a dog destroys — a strong signal of confidence in the material. In practice it's tough enough that few qualify, but the cover is there.
Zogoflex or KONG for a heavy chewer?
Both are top tier. KONG Extreme is firmer and cheaper; Zogoflex is more pliable, dishwasher-safe, floats, and carries a damage guarantee. For dogs that crack teeth on hard objects, the more pliable option is safer.
