I have been a football fan and a dog-lover since birth. Nope just kidding but I love football and adore dogs. I have a Germanshepherd and a pit-bull. I love those particular breeds because of their good posture and the strength their breed possess. But unfortunately for these types of breeds there are a few toys that last for a long time. It only takes them a day or two then the rubber will peel off or the head of a stuffed animal was chewed off. Thus, the dog toys are thrown away. The golden rule on dog toys is that whenever they show wear and tear you immediately must throw them away. When I was talking to a fellow dog-lover who also has a pit-bull, we were talking about my dog tenacity on thrashing most of their toys. He told me that he had a similar problem with his dog. Until, he tried the fido football dog toy he bought over the internet. I was delighted to hear his story and he told me that his dog was not able to tear or even dent the fido football dog toy he purchased. When I got home I was eager to try the dog toy with my 2 beloved pooches. So went straight to my computer and ordered one overnight. The next day the package arrived I ordered 2 initially to try it out with Charlie and Beckham. I told myself that these fido football dog toys I bought will only last a day or two again. But to my amazement after a month from date of purchase these dependable toys are still looking great and Charlie and Beckham enjoys them.
