"Addi loves her new toy. She throws it in the air and catches it and runs. It's light enough to do all that. Plus, she enjoys a good squeak. She's not an aggressive chewer - so don't know if this toy is good for dogs who are. But she's very happy with her new toy."

— Michele

"After one day the seam opened between the tail & body. My Chancy got the large squeaker out.. I threw the rest of the body away. Very disappointed because Ive been buying her the ZippyPaws toys for years & this is the first one that she busted."

Bottom Line

While the toy can provide hours of fun for non-aggressive chewers, buyers should be cautious because of its durability issues. It's a great option for light play but might not last long with heavy chewing.
