Highlighted Reviews
"At first he wanted nothing to do with it but about an hour or so of having it out I turned around to see him sneaking away with it. ... The hole shape is brilliant as he can't fully get it into his mouth and tear it up (I have a heavy chewer)."
"Lasted 10 minutes and he was in the red, biting off chunks. In their defense, the label said to use for 10-40lbs dogs..mine is 55lbs. "
Bottom Line
Consider this toy if your dog is a moderate chewer or you're looking for an entertaining design. However, don't expect it to last long with heavy or aggressive chewers, and potentially invest in a larger model for a better experience.
