Highlighted Reviews
"My dog LOVES this toy. We have bought several over the last couple of years. She eventually tears them up but until then likes to chew on it, squeak it, and carry it around. The plastic bottle inside is thick and durable. My dog is medium-sized - about 40 lbs - and this toy is a great fit."
