"My 11 week old puppy loves this toy and so do I. It is providing her a way to exercise her desire to mouth and chew. The sizing is so correct for a puppy. It is chunky and she can hold it. Very well made and cute. We love Hedgehog!"

β€” Ana

"Toy’s squeaker didn’t last at all. The toy isn’t even ripped at all and my dog didn’t play with it enough for it to have broken so fast."

Bottom Line

If you can overlook the squeaker issue, this is a good toy for your dog, especially for teething puppies.
