Highlighted Reviews

— Tamara

"Well, for our pittie mix foster girl, the squeaks lasted longer than most toys do, but this is still a very durable toy and it is really cute! She still likes it even though she tore it up a bit and killed the squeaks, and it still makes crinkly-crunch sounds."

— Kasey

"This lived with us for about 5 minutes. Our dog immediately ripped it open and pulled out nasty plastic inside."

Bottom Line

If your dog is a heavy chewer this might not be the toy for you, but for playful dogs, it’s great.
