Highlighted Reviews

β€” Clementine

"The review is all about how Clementine likes this new unicorn. She carries it around constantly. So far she hasn't gutted it. My only negative is wish it was a bit bigger even though she's a 12# Shih Tzu she destroys toys bigger than she is."

β€” Kati

"I literally tore this taking the tag off. I love that it’s so soft for my smaller dog but the material needs to be better for a dogs toy."

Bottom Line

This toy is best suited for small dogs and occasional use. Avoid if you have a heavy chewer or larger breed. Weigh the cuteness factor against the durability concerns before purchasing.
