β€” Leslie

"My Aussie will chew/destroy any chew toy I give him usually within a day; this Frisco vanilla flavored toy has been a "go to" for my dog and has lasted and still going strong today - even the vanilla flavoring lasted... which is my dog's favorite ice cream flavor...."

β€” Bryanna

"There’s nothing tuff about this toy. My aggressive chewing dog chewed off all the little rubber pieces and half the nylon part. Choking hazard. Didn’t even last 5 minutes."
