Common Questions

This toy fails to last for long with heavy chewers and dogs with a penchant for shredding toys, you should remove as it begins to unravel.

Highlighted Reviews

β€” Rina

"Our little chompy puppy loves this rope!"

β€” Brit

"If your dog is a chewer at all, do not waste your money on this. Destroyed instantly. The head and hands/feet are filled with burlap fluff? Which they can get to immediately and leave all over your house. Seriously bad quality!"

Bottom Line

For dogs who are gentle chewers, this toy provides good entertainment value while it lasts. However, for heavy chewers or aggressive play, this toy may not be cost-effective due to frequent breakage or wear.
