"My dog loved this toy, but within the first 15 minutes he’d already shredded an ear and after 2 hours the whole face was torn up.

"Thought this material was supposed to be very durable. It took my 7 month old shorkie less than 1/2 hour to chew through it. very disappointed. If this site didn't require a minimal β€œstar” rating, it would have been no stars."

This toy offers immediate fun but may not last long. Consider it for light or supervised play, and be prepared to replace it frequently for heavy chewers.
