Highlighted Reviews
"Perfect toy for my big dog who likes to play tug and release. Big enough so she doesn't grab my hand by mistake."
"Our dogs loved this toy for the 2 mins it lasted but after that they were disappointed when I had to take it. Rope shreds and breaks easily. Just not very durable!"
Bottom Line
Do not buy this toy to last more than a few minutes. Less stocky dogs may be able to enjoy it a bit longer, but it is definitely not worth the price for most users. It is important to monitor dogs' playtime for safety. If they are left alone with this rope, there is potential for them to swallow the balls if they are torn off.
