"The toy's design is engaging and interactive which is good for kennel uptime."

"The toy was easily destroyed within 3 days by a Australia cattle dog."

Bottom Line

The toy shines brightest on the perfect European small dogs with very gentle mouths. You will probably be very disappointed if that is not your dog. For rigorous consumer information, there are numerous other alternatives that are more durable and are recommended for more aggressive animals as well as dogs with weaker jaws.
