Highlighted Reviews

β€” Bridey

"The shape of this is making it a hard one to destroy. Our girl especially destroys toys when the squeaker is in the limbs - this one it's mid-belly of the Phrog, so she can't/isn't as driven to get to it."

β€” Brent

"Unfortunately, my experience with this toy left me feeling disappointed, especially considering its claimed durability rating of 8 out of 10 on the Tuffy website."

Bottom Line

Overall, it's a good choice for moderate chewers, but caution is advised for owners of aggressive chewers. Users recommended this toy for smaller or moderate chewers and appreciated its tough construction. Others caution that durability would be better for some pets than others, especially smaller pets.
