Highlighted Reviews

— Julie

"Although it feels a little soft it's survived some extremely fierce games of tug o'war with my 90+ lb lab puppy and the determined chewing of our smaller 50 lb lab puppy. Very pleased"

— Ziggysmom

"This thing smells so horrible that we can't stand to have it in the house. The dog won't go anywhere near it. It exudes a very strong chemical, industrial odor that seems nearly toxic. Waste of money."

Bottom Line

This toy is fun and engaging but may wear out quickly. If your dog is a heavy chewer or sensitive to smells, you might want to consider other alternatives.
