Highlighted Reviews

— Dinduch

"I got a puppy a month ago and she had separation anxiety, I got this to try helping her with it and just adjusting to my home, I had tried a lot of other things that didn’t work so well. This one though worked exemplarily well."

— BigDog7335

"It was unraveled not a ball as advertised it wasnt a ball just a rope"

Bottom Line

This toy offers decent entertainment but concerns about its durability especially with tenacious chewers will affect its longevity. If you have a less abrasive dog and are wary of cost, it's an alright buy.
