"We got one for our younger dog and she absolutely loves it. Our older dog has decided that it’s such a fun toy that she wants it for herself. So we are getting a second so they can stop barking at each other about who gets the purple monster lol"

β€” Brittany

"This was the most expensive dog toy I’ve ever bought and was promised durability in the description. My dog pulled both of the little orange paws off instantly and was able to shred it within minutes. I don’t consider my dog to be a heavy chewer as his standard bark box toys seem to last longer ..."

Bottom Line

Don't buy it for heavy chewers. The toy offered good for satisfaction for small dogs, but most reviewers found it a disappointment for its price. You never know when it will get destroyed.
