Our sweet pup is absolutely loving this cactus. We weren't sure it would hold up as he is a pretty aggressive chewer but we gave this to him December 23rd and it's holding up pretty well.He plays with this toy daily. There is no squeak on this one which is great as he plays early on the mornings too. It's not like his other toys which hurt when you step on it. It's very soft, rubber, and hard and very cute! It's also a perfect size for medium dogs, our boy is about 48 pounds.We haven't had to clean it, it stays pretty clean on its own but he isn't much of a drooling pup. Very good to keep them busy for a while!Also, our pup is about 3 1/2 years old and learning how to not destroy things as quickly. Younger pups may still tear through these as I've seen in other reviews but we love it.
