Highlighted Reviews

— Kim

"Darth loves these little stuffies. He loves to go get giggler. Sometimes(field day) they are so fragile"

— Margarita

"The giggle which was the selling feature was 'eradicated' in less than 10 min. Fabric is very flimsy and she would have been eating the giggler and anything else or ignoring the product within minutes. Dangerous thin fabric"

Bottom Line

It's a fun toy that keeps your dog entertained, but consider it more of a short-term plaything given its durability issues. Suitable for gentle or occasional players, but supervise rough play for your dog's safety.
