Highlighted Reviews

— Bernadette

"Both my Bedlingtons enjoy this toy. They are aggressive chewers, but so far the Rough Dawg wrench has held up well."

— jesssrittt

"Thought this was going to be good strong hard rubber. Turns out my Dane destroyed in literally 2-3 mins. WASTE of money."

Bottom Line

Despite it being attractive, the durability issues make this toy dangerous for dogs and it is not worth the investment.
