Highlighted Reviews
"My dog Wanda absolutely loves this toy. She did end up destroying it after about 3 months but she’s an Akita who chews up everything. It lasted a long time before she was able to destroy it, much longer than similar toys we’ve gotten her. Will be getting another when they’re back in stock."
" My three-pound dog ripped the ball apart within one day. she has never been able to do this with any other toy and is not that rough. she didn't even particularly like the toy, it was just easy to tear the ball apart. I am very disappointed in this product."

If you have a heavy chewer, this toy is great for entertainment but be aware of the durability issues for smaller pets. It will be back in stock and the price is showcasing overall good value while being enjoyed. If you purchase, there is a good chance of enjoying a few months of chewing joy!.
