Highlighted Reviews

— TazM

"The arms are easy to hold on to for both a medium and large size dog. They crinkle and are fun. The fabric is sturdy and holds up well to chewing from dogs that are trying to get to the big squeaky ball inside. Both dogs love playing and tugging with this guy!"

— Starfish

"Contrary to my expectation, the red ball inside does not come out of the starfish. So it is not really two toys in one. Our pup loved the toy, despite my disappointment. Unfortunately, after about 4 days, the squeaky ball on the inside stopped squeaking, so now it is only a crinkle toy."

Bottom Line

This toy may be fun for dogs in the short term, but its durability issues make it a less ideal choice for long-term use. Consider alternatives for more robust play.
