Pros & Cons
Pros
-
Fun Shape (2)
Puppies love the unique donut shape and the hole in the middle
-
Gripping (3)
I have a pom. and he has the smallest mouth I have ever seen on a fur baby. I have had many Poms but his mouth is by far the smallest. The toy is just the perfect size for his little mouth. Added bonus it rolls which makes it go faster when you throw it and I love to see him bring it back to me with his little nose thru the donut hole.
-
Engaging (1)
Small dogs, like the Poms would intuitively want to pull the toy through the crater and roll around
Cons
-
Durability (3) major
The toy is not very durable it was ripped apart by a small puppy in less than a day
-
Quality Concerns (3) major
Many dog toys such as miniature Keisha’s are made of polyester. Suitable for heavy chewers the excess fur strains at inflation causing tearing. Maintenance may know more than some reviews suggest.

Bottom Line
While the design and initial fun factor are great, the durability of plastic materials and durability concerns make it a lower-rated choice. It happens to be best suited for smaller or more moderate pawed puppies. Acclimate to disappointment with toy-cluttered homes, or hope your dog licks it and plays it soft rather them having to bite it.
