Highlighted Reviews

"My boys love these Bigfoot toys but they don't stand up to rough play and they shed a lot."

— KARALEI

"Unfortunately there is nothing tough or durable about this toy. My dog Loves it but it arrived with missed stitches on face and was ripped open in 10 minutes. We keep mending only to have it rip elsewhere. We wanted to live this toy, but was a waste of money"

Bottom Line

After much disappointment, many reviewers expressed disappointment due to durability and poor stitching. Its initial charm does not out the sagging quality and lack of value.
