  • Only two positive reviews out of eight.
  • Not recommended due to poor quality and design.

Quick Verdict

Majority of reviewers report that the toy breaks easily during play. The design flaw where the rope is glued or taped inside the ball makes it useless after the first few tugs of war. The toy is not durable and does not hold up to simple play activities. Only two reviewers found it great, but the overall sentiment is negative with users feeling disappointed and frustrated.

"She loves playing tug with this, and the spikey chewey ball helps massage her teeth and gums too."

— Woodfin

"Well, I don't know if it was my choices, the quality of the companies or Chewy's options but boy oh boy did they not hold up. This looked fun and simple, rope toys always hold up, right? Nope! The rope part connected to the ball is GLUED. It's a tug-of-war toy, why on earth would you glue it? Seco..."

Bottom Line

Given the multiple reports of the toy breaking easily and not holding up to moderate play, it is not recommended. Potential buyers should look for more durable options as this toy does not offer good value for money.
