Highlighted Reviews

β€” Katie

"Buying this toy again because it stood up the longest against my Anatolian Shepards than any toy I’ve bought in a while. They seemed to spend a bit of time on the bone and weren’t able to crack it. It only came off when they finally unraveled the rope."

β€” Linda

"This poor thing didn’t last 20 minutes with my Golden Retriever! She had it in shreds!"

Bottom Line

If you have a less aggressive chewer, this toy might be entertaining, but for heavy-duty chewers, you might want to consider a more robust option.
