Mammoth Pets Paw Tracks Tire Biter:

We’d been thinking about purchasing this toy for Maddie for a while.  The Mammoth Pet Paw Tracks Tire Biter with Cotton Rope looks like it would be a very durable toy.  What could be more chew resistant than a tire?  You can drive on them?  Mammoth Pet even advertises them as “Real Tire Tough.”  But what’s more tough, the open road or Maddie’s jaws?

I confess, we didn’t actually buy this toy.  This week we’ve been dogsitting Maddie’s best friend, Fennis the Alaskan Malamute.  He brought a few of his toys with him, and one of them was the Mammoth Pet Paw Tracks Tire Biter with Cotton Rope.  We thought it would be a great opportunity to try out this very interesting toy.

The company claims that “TireBiters are made real tire tough for heavy-duty chomping and interactive play.  The patented two-ply nylon formula flosses while dogs chew.”  The toy couldn’t have looked or sounded like a better prospect for our Maddie.  At first it looked like a perfect fit.  Maddie put her nose in the TireBiter’s hole and started scooting it around the living room in pure glee.  For about five minutes we thought we might have discovered another great toy, but then Maddie laid down and started chomping.  In about three minutes she had destroyed her friends toy.  I guess we will be buying one after all...

Maddie did love playing with this toy and chewing it.  Mammoth Pets’ website says that they make a TireBiter PawTrack without a rope that is “Extra Strength.”  It does seem nice that this toy might help clean Maddie’s teeth, but it should be crumble resistant at least...  Perhaps we’ll give the “Extra Strength” version a whirl.  Who knows.  It could actually be tough...maybe...

Let us know if your dog has tried the TireBiter.  How did it hold up?  Is the Extra Strength version any better?

Thank you so much for these reviews! We have a ten month old male Dane and he is going through toys so fast we can't keep up. We have also tried this tire toy and had the same experience. Scooby crumbled it in a matter of minutes. We've also tried the tuffies. We had the same experience you did with the bone type. I bought the ring today which is supposedly a 9 out of ten and he's had it for about 3 hours yet and so far hasn't pulled the stuffing out.

Thank you so much for this site. We are also on a mission for toys that can last longer than a day or two. Although at this point I'd be happy with three or four hours!
