Highlighted Reviews
"My wiener dog Hugo LOVES a latex squeaky toy-- most firmer materials are too easy for him to get his sharp teeth into and tear apart, but latex holds up. I think the bigger size of Gumby is also contributing to the love. He's a big hit!"
"Not at all chew resistant. It's hollow w stuffing inside."
Bottom Line
If you're looking for a fun, squeaky toy for your dog, this might be a hit initially. However, be prepared for it to break easily, and consider this more of a short-lived entertainment option rather than a long-lasting chew toy.
