Highlighted Reviews
"It took a few minutes for my dog to get use to the weird UFO-like sound but now she's obsessed with the toy! She loves to run after it in the dark and run all around the yard with it in her mouth. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because sometimes it's hard to get it to light up."
"So it says it emits sound and lots of toys sweetie and what not my dog loves noisy toys. This thing though sounds like a siren and he is absolutely terrified of it. It seems like a good quality and it does have an on off button so I try to keep it turned off but sometimes if it's jolted hard enough ..."
