Common Questions

Can this toy be used indoors?

Yes with a caution to avoid larger dogs, but tortuous doubt is always present to how rapidly the rope tears.

Highlighted Reviews

— John

"I have never seen my lab pups enjoy a toy more than this one. They love chasing it down and bringing it back!"

— Labrador

"The discerption states for an extreme chewer! Our Labrador is nine months old. He's an extreme chewer, and finding a chew toy that outlast him has been very difficult. Within five minutes of giving Winston the toy he had chewed the rope away from the ball, chewed the rope away from the orange handle..."

Bottom Line

If you have a gentle or occasional chewer, the toy could be a decent option. For strong chewers, seek more durable alternatives to avoid frequent replacements.
