"This is a toy for those that have dogs that shred their toys. Mine used to do that but no longer does so I was a bit mystified where the cassette was that I thought was included only to find out I need to destroy the first toy to get it (or become a seamstress of sorts to extract it)."

— Jenny

"Ok. So, the boom box itself literally has to be cut, or chewed, open. The cassette, which is very well made and my puppy loves it, is inside with the stuffing, and the rope is hidden in the handle of the boom box. I just....I found this toy to be cool yet annoying at the same time. Love the 80s them..."

Bottom Line

This toy is a bit of a mixed bag. It's a fun retro toy with a great design but has serious usability issues. For dog owners who love 80s themes, personality of pets, and can overlook the construction frustrations, it's a good buy. Otherwise, consider alternatives with better usability.
