Disappointed with Orka Jack

    • Gold Top Dog
    Geez, Emma was getting one of those for Christmas. If a small bully stick lasts several days, and the jack lasted only minutes, I'm in trouble. The thing will fall apart when she looks at it[;)] Emma eats a 12" bully stick in 20 minutes. She's a scary chewer. Very, very fast. She has to have large, black kongs replaced every few months, if I use them often. She starts pulling bits off.

    What kind of dog is Colton?
     
    Russell has an Orka jack w/ the rope in it, he finishes a 12" bully stick in an hour or so when he's into it and destroys stuffies, but the Orka has always remained intact for the year we've had it. Then again he's also not very interested in it. [8|]

    Colton is a Parson Russell Terrier.  About 13lbs.  Not a very big dog at all. 
    Jennie, I would be very careful with the Jack.  If Emma destroys the black kongs, the jack should be no problem.  Colton's Kong is a red one and small enough that he can chew it easily but there aren't even any cracks!

    Yeah, Emma started killing red Kongs as a puppy, so probably no jack for her....

    She's a bit bigger than Colton, at 17 pounds, but still.... Not a very big dog[:D]

    I must say that I'm quite disappointed with the Orka Jack.  I bought two, one for Rose and one for Colton.  Colton shreds stuffed toys occassionally but has never demolished something like this so easily.  Within ten minutes, one of the spikes is broken off.  It takes him longer to eat his dinner!  In fact, it takes him much, much longer to completely destory a stuffed toy.  A bully stick lasts much longer too.  I thought it would last a while since a few people on this site recommended them.

     
    That really stinks, sorry about that.  I swear I wasn't the one that recommended it though, because I didn't know what it was until you posted the link!  The Orka Jack would probably be nice for Riley though, because he's not a strong chewer.  In fact, he might not even want to play with it!
