Highlighted Reviews

— Pamela

"These little toys are holding up well with my golden retriever who is a nonstop chewer/player with his new toys. My only recommendation is to leave off the attached bow and small pom pom on the top. (choking/swalloing hazards."

— Dakota

"If your dog is a light chewer it is good but for mine it was destroyed in 2 minutes"

Bottom Line

I would recommend this to light chewers, but aggressive chewers may destroy the toy quickly. Research the pet type and behaviors and assess if the risk of destruction and potential choking and ingestion from toxic substances make a cheap alternative worth it.
