Highlighted Reviews

"My dachshund has a spinal disorder that makes it uncomfortable to lie without elevating his head. These giant stuffed bone toys are the perfect size and density to use in place of bulkier pillows in his crate. I always buy one or two when I find them on sale."

— CherryBomb

"This lasted 6 min (I actually timed it) and while my dog loved it, it is not worth the price for how long it lasted."

Bottom Line

Due to major durability concerns, this toy may not be a good choice for pet owners who need a durable and consistent toy. Problem plagues its charts of durability and seems to cut down on reviews from first-time buyers.
