Common Questions

Is it good for dogs and what quality is it?

It could be good for mild chewers for a short time. Allows dogs to chew and enjoy until it gets tampered out.

Does it last?

Short time period the dogs have fun while a chewer actually gets to fully enjoy the toy.

Is it durable enough?

It is not meant to last a long time. As some chewers actually chew it up breaking it in minutes.

What do kids enjoy about it?

Just like the fact that it is cheap at a low cost for it to be loved by dogs.

"We have an Aussie-Border collie mix she loves to chew, this is her 3rd or 4th hyper pet toy, they last a long time. The green stick/branch is her favorite."

— Dogowner

"Not sturdy at all. First use chewed through. THOUGHT IT WAS THE FIREMAN MATERIAL AND WOULD LAST"
