Highlighted Reviews
"This toy suits so many purposes. Besides being a fun toy, it has other benefits for our Bichon Frise puppy to learn and practice manners as well as socialization benefits. It’s a 2 in 1 toy. Additionally, he plays chase with it and keeps him busy in the crate."
"My dog is very gentle and the squeaker (oinker?) broke within 10 minutes. He barely squeaked it. I honestly disappointed in the quality."
Bottom Line
While the design is appealing and initially engaging, the durability issues make it a less-than-ideal long-term purchase. Consider it for gentle chewers or as a supplementary toy.
