Highlighted Reviews

— Emily

"This toy is nicely stuffed to give enough poof for holding in food and treats and has many places for hiding them."

— Tonya

"The braids are so tight on it, that she is unable to get the treat out. Unusable for her, donated to a shelter."

Bottom Line

A great mental challenge for dogs, especially those who need a bit of calming down. The superior design helps keep pets busy, but be cautious with the durability.
