Highlighted Reviews

"My 23 month old - who is still a puppy- loves it and the loud squeak it makes but I could do without the squeak - lol !!"

β€” Connor

"Most of the tuffy toys I buy last for a while with my dogs, but this one was destroyed in a few minutes. If you don’t have dogs that are rough with their toys, then this would probably be fine."

Bottom Line

Great for fun and interactive play but not durable for heavy chewers. Consider for occasional use or as a backup toy.
