Nothing is Chew Proof, but these do pretty well
My three 2-year-old Dutch Shepherds have killed every toy except their Kong balls. These octopus toys are hanging in there. My dogs are particularly driven by wiggling the appendages - They LOVE it. My Sheba who normally kills toys immediately has not yet destroyed her octopus. She's been holding it like a teddy bear, that is after she's worn out from throwing it around. I've thrown them in the washing machine and they come out great.

Not good for aggressive chewers
This product does not stand up to aggressive chewing. My bulldog had it for about an hour before the legs disappeared.

A bit wider than I expected
Style: Coyote
I thought this was going to be a "flat" toy but was a bit surprised to see that it was more of a 3D shape than flat. It's unfortunately a bit too wide for my small/medium sized terrier so he really only grabs and chews on the tail and ears. It is pretty durable though and has held up well.
