"My dog LOVES it. There's something hilarious about filling this treat toy up by shoving kibble through the nostrils in a pig snout. And even funnier watching the dog lose her mind trying to get them out!"

— Stephanie

"I thought the rip and reveal would be like a Velcro setup, but it's not. The fabric is on there very tight. You can't pull the rubber toy out of the fabric. Your dog is expected to actually shred the fabric part of the toy into pieces. Which means they'll be swallowing the pieces. Not what I expect..."

Bottom Line

For dog owners of aggressive chewers, always make sure to monitor your dog's playtime for safety reasons.
