Highlighted Reviews

— Pam

"My dog is afraid of squeak toys...This Squirrel toy is just the thing. He chews on it and throws it around and it looks just like when I got it. Bravo!"

— Tammie

"This toy may be good for a mild chewer but our Great Dane has it torn up in a few hours and it went into the garbage. Lol"

Bottom Line
