Highlighted Reviews

— Cynthia

"Both my dogs and I are Grateful Dead fans. He carries it around everywhere."

— Hilary

"It’s so cute, love the terp, love the dead head, 10/10 on style but 3/5 on toughness. I don’t have a super chewer dog. She doesn’t rip her toys but this literally last two seconds before one foot was ripped off. It lives on but without feet now"

Bottom Line

Low build quality. You’ll need to react fast because it doesn’t last to allow your pet(because they'll destroy it).
