"Our puppy likes the texture so much he doesn't need food on it. Our puppy has been packing it around and chewing on it regularly. He's only had it for a couple of weeks and barely done any damage to it yet."

— Tiffany

"Not what was expected based on photos. Lasted 30 minutes and is now in the trash. The outer coating broke apart easily and the center is hard white nylon which shredded into tiny sharp pieces. We will switch back to the green rubber Kong dental chew toy."

Bottom Line

We suggest looking for an alternative, it is completely worth the money, purchased one, wasted money.
