Highlighted Reviews
"My dog loves this interactive toy, however, she chews so vigorously that she turns them off also her drool caused them to quit working as it soaked into the inside, until I took them apart a dried them off. Also the material has already been chewed through it’s somewhat soft."
"Not soft, Dogs do not play, they are afraid, no movement, too large to put in mouth or pick up. Big, hard and scary."
Bottom Line
Buyers should consider this as a short-term entertainment option rather than a long-lasting investment.
