I recently purchased my puppy a Kong Wubba as a replacement for a nylon tug of war toy made by Bamboo. As a loyal Kong customer, I figured the Wubba to be a superior product. My older dog Katie has an Extra Large Wubba that she chewed the tassels off of, but the body of that toy is still intact after several months. My puppy has not been as kind to this toy. In just over a week, remnants are all that remain of this toy...from here on in I think I will stick to rubber toys.
The first Kong Wubba I purchased was in a set that included a rubber Kong toy, Kong Stuff'n and a large (three tiered) Kong Wubba. That larger wubba has withstood a decent amount of abuse but is not subjected to the constant gnawing of a teething puppy. It was this wubba that gave me a little hope that the kong nylon product might be superior to the Bamboo product. I was wrong. The Kong Wubba that I purchased for my puppy was just a vulnerable to his bite as the Bamboo tug toy.
The Wubba is made of a small tennis ball and a larger squeek ball encased in a tight nylon cover. The end of the toy has nylon tails for throwing the toy. The concept of this toy is really puppy nirvana. You have a squeek toy, soft nylon, a tennis ball, tassels for throwing or tug of war and the classic Kong shape for a bounce that will throw the toy different directions. The concept is genious...the materials not. Puppy teeth shred nylon like a knife through butter.
