Highlighted Reviews

— Andi

"My Cairn Terrier LOVES sticking his little snoot in and digging out the monkeys. He likes to fling the banana around a bit too. The monkeys have held up very well to incessant squeaking"

— Stephanie

"Although the quality otherwise is good, the holes are just too tight. I can barely get them out- dog has no chance of getting them even partway out"

Bottom Line

If your dog is a gentle chewer, this toy is a fun and engaging option. However, if your dog is a heavy chewer, you may want to consider a more durable option.
