My pupper has only had this toy for a couple of days, but with any other toy within the same timeframe (even the ones that claim to be super strong), she would have destroyed it completely. I'm really surprised that this toy has actually kept its condition. In fact it still looks as if it's only fresh out of the box!

I will consider buying one for my relative's dog, who's as equally destructive!

Our Anton is a toy torturer. If it squeaks, he must chew into that toy and kill it as quickly as possible (this is why we don't give him all his toys at once, we dole them out). "tough" toys usually mean it will take him 3 minutes instead of 1 to kill it and chew the squeaker up. I've purchased those "indestructible" toys - even made out of firehose - not a problem for Anton, he simply uses his teeth to carefully undo the stitching. We've tried hard rubber toys but if it doesn't squeak, he's not all that interested.

Through the years we've found a few good old standbys that he can't kill immediately. Oh, we still give him the stuffed ones to murder because he LOVES squeak toys, but it's nice for him to have ones that he has to work at like a puzzle, give up on for a while and come back to.

I don't know what it is about this cactus toy, but we got the first one a few years ago. It took him a couple of years to rip the arms/spikes/flower off and eventually get the cover off... only to then need to work even harder to get to the ball at the middle. The second one we ordered we cannot find. I think he's probably buried it in the back yard or taken it under a bed and forgotten about it. I see there's some newer Consula's out there, but I'm leery if it's made with the same near Anton-proof manufacturing as the original. Hope to see her back in the store soon!

I bought it a few years ago for my in-laws' chocolate lab, Miah. Miah normally destroys toys within a few weeks max. Consuela is still doing well though! Miah has ripped the spikes, flower, and one arm off of it but still plays with it a lot, and always shows it to me when I am at my in-laws' house. I have gotten Miah a couple other of this type of toy from Bark and she loves them all.

My beagle can chew anything to oblivion instantly, but this toy held up! She fell in love with this one and even after chewing her way through the 2 fabric layers the spiky ball inside is her very favorite, and still totally intact after tons of squeaking and chewing. She still likes to carry the outer skin around in her mouth as a comfort item too. I would love more of these 3 layer destructible toys!!

My first name is Consuela and I have always gone by Connie just because it’s easier for people to say, the name Consuela is not a common name at all at least here in the United States where I am, I could never find my name in gift shops where you can buy key chains etc. personalized with your name on it. The Bark Shop has a forever loyal customer just because the had this toy named Consuela Cactus and of course I had to buy it (my dog probably won’t get this toy he will shred it in minutes) I am keeping my Cactus named Consuela as a cute decor for my desk! If you can’t tell finding Consuela the Cactus made my day…….. it’s the little things in life that make me happy!
