Highlighted Reviews

— Fatima

"He loves this and if he does digest pieces, they pass easily."

— Tiffany

"Both our Lab and Golden devoured this within minutes. Endured days of sick pups coming out of both ends. Vet wanted to see if the pieces would pass before surgery. Fortunately, they were lucky and it only lasted a few days before they purged the red and yellow pieces."

Bottom Line

Do not purchase this toy for dogs, especially those that are aggressive chewers. The risks of ingesting pieces and experiencing severe health issues are too high. Look for alternative toys that are specifically designed for durability and safety.
