In a Nutshell

  • Extremely poor durability, especially against moderate to aggressive chewers.
  • Most parts become hazardous with initial use, should probably have a manufacturer warning regarding these issues.
  • A bit overpriced for its perceived and real capability in the market.
  • Would recommend skipping this product if yours is a massive or a power-crewed dog breed.

Quick Verdict

This toy is poorly received due to its non-durable build, with most dogs being able to chew and swallow parts within minutes. Suitable only for light use or very gentle bites
