Highlighted Reviews

— Suze

"Bought this for adult son's dog whom we dog sit. She loves this, chews the devil out of it. It is strong and sturdy. Will see how it and the chewing do. She also loves to play tug of war. She is a year old and STRONG."

— Chew

"Only buy if your dog only wants to play"

Bottom Line

It's a fun toy but more of a small dog/cat dog toy which is good for playing and for teeth but don't leave it to a dog by themselves as there have been a lot of jaw injuries associated with this toy. Therefore, it's better decide to stick to a less costly but more reliable toy.
