"Good toy. Lasts a long time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

""These were advertised as made for an aggressive chewer! They are not. Within 3-4 minutes there were many small pieces on the floor and she was gagging on 1 piece she swallowed!""

Bottom Line

Lament over the Spunky Pup Gnaw Guard Foam Star Dog Chew Toy. If your dog is an aggressive chewer, even of smaller size, steer clear of this product. On the upside, for teething puppies, this product had a positive review of texture and capacity to lose the toy loosely.
