"This toy is great. We have 2 Golden Retrievers and one of them has a strong drive for retrieving and the other one not so much. With this toy they can play together and both have fun at the same time. The zip sound seems to add motivation to play time. The balls are very durable. The price was great..."
"Product was flimsy and wouldn’t really throw the ball. The two balls it came with were also sort of solid which made them crunch and break once my dog had began to try chewing it when retrieving it. "
