Highlighted Reviews
"This dragonfly toy is fun and love the bright colors. My pup likes the crinkle wings and chews on them some. If he rips into it there is a tennis ball and he will want to carry it around even without any filling inside. He does that with other plush toys."
"This is marketed as a tough toy but my Basset Hound puppy tore a hole in it and she’s had it less than a week. Super cute but not durable."
