"This toy lasted not more than 5 minutes. It frayed and there was string EVERYWHERE. This should have lasted longer but it did not and my dog ate the fabric."

Bottom Line

This toy is best suited for light chewers or as a fetch toy. Power chewers will demolish it quickly, and the scattered fabric can be a choking hazard.
