Highlighted Reviews

— Kelly

"This pull toy can handle what our dog dishes out! Super sturdy and well made!"

— Shannon

"The Greyhound had this chewed up and the ball off within 15 minutes. The ball comes off allowing the little balls inside to come out of the holes. This toy can turn into deadly ingestables given the dog can uncover the plastic whistle."

Bottom Line

Customers who own strong chewers will likely be disappointed with this toy. Consider this if looking for durability, but don't rely on it turning into a longlasting toy due to so many recent complaints. ...It would be helpful to read reviews and account for merge rating trends or avoid using in an environment with serious dog chewers to not create dangers of ingestion.
