— Yasmeen

"This toy is so cute! Also durable so far. Our dog loves the funny sounding squeak. When we throw it it bounces erratically which makes playing fetch with it more fun."

— Margarita

"Toy is too big and not practical for 12 lb dog. The harder rubber is neither cozy or exciting so hardly much play. It depends on toy as she adores the wobble."

Bottom Line

If you have a medium to large dog, this toy is an excellent choice for hours of fun and engaging play. Just be mindful of the size for smaller breeds.
