Highlighted Reviews

— Katherine

"Got this for my 5 month old German Shepherd pup for Christmas. He plays with it, squeaks it, fetches it and plays tug-o-war. So far he has not destroyed it. if they were still available I would buy a couple more."

— TheDud

"It took our 45 pound dog 2.2 seconds to gut this poor hedgehog. I would spend more on something more durable next time."

While the toy has a cute design and is functional for lighter use, durability issues are a significant drawback. For owners of non-aggressive, smaller dogs, it might be an okay option, but for heavier chewers, it is not recommended.
