"The only thing I love more than ZippyPaws is Chewy! The toys are top quality, so ingenious, and very creative! Better than just a dog toy it brings so much joy to all of us who love our dogs and have fun with them!"

β€” Kate

"My 8 month old puppy had this toy for a grand total of five minutes before ripping it apart. Not worth the money. Look for a better chew toy."

Bottom Line

For puppies or dogs that don't chew hard on toys, it's a great buy. Other than that, it might be best to avoid this product and pick something more durable.
