Best For

  • Dog owners with light chewers — Keeping dogs engaged for long periods of time without hurting their teeth.
  • Puppy owners — Holds teeth and gums active and smooth-faced without much wear and tear.
  • Dog owners with multiple pets in the household — Handy because it keeps all dogs active. Plus, healthier for dogs!!!
  • Dog owners who breed their furry friends at home to keep puppies clean. — Cost-effective nutrition and more.

Skip If

  • Owners of large dogs — Fits a small breed dog while barely fitting a medium breed dog.
  • Owners of aggressive, heavy chewers — Dogs may still end up biting it to consume it in short duration.
  • Pet owners deploying the toy as the only plaything. — Better used as a treat toy along with other play items

"Not sure if it didn't have a beef flavored scent or what, but tried multiple times and he just wanted nothing to do with it"

Bottom Line

A good small sized regular dog BUT may not offer the right flavorful experience and might not last long with a chew toy. If that is what you are seeking, this toy is ideal; otherwise, opt for an alternative more focused on durability and longevity.
