Highlighted Reviews
"He loves it! So far it’s held up fine. This toy floats too and is pretty tough. A friend has one for her lab and they live by the river so I’m hoping this toy will last for this ‘city’ dog."
"This lasted less than 10 minutes after I cut the tags off. Don’t recommend for heavy chewers, in the first few chomps she was already through to the stuffing. Disappointed we won’t be able to take it on vacation to the ocean which is what we bought it for"

If you have a light or moderate chewer, this toy can be a fun addition. However, if your dog is prone to aggressive chewing, consider a more durable option.
