Highlighted Reviews

β€” Sharon

"My boxer is such an aggressive chewer. This is the first toy I have found that he has not destroyed. He chews on it every day and it is still in excellent condition."

β€” Aaron

"My dog had this for less than 30 minutes, and it was already getting chunks off. The reviews said it was for heavy chewers, it is not. Very disappointed this is a 1 year old chocolate lab!"

Bottom Line

This toy is a solid choice for dogs that enjoy treat-dispensing toys, but potential buyers should be aware of concerns about odor and durability, as some users had issues with pieces breaking off.
