Highlighted Reviews

— Leia

"This was a good toy! My pup loved it, and it took quite a few play sessions before he started ripping it open. He didn't seem very excited about the squeaky fish on the inside, but that's just his personal preference I guess!"

— Maria-Teresa

"My dog went through this in less then 3 minutes and the inner toy he chewed up in 5 minutes bery disappointing. Usually it takes a few days to get to the inner toy and then he has that to play with for a while not this toy. 8 minites and in the garbage it went."

Bottom Line

If you have a moderate chewer, this toy might be a good fit. For very aggressive chewers, you may want to consider more robust options or expect a short lifespan.
