Highlighted Reviews
"This toy has multiple squeakers which is amazing the only thing I have to say is the wings can get chewed off easily by heavy chewers so just monitor the toy for missing pieces."
"My 6 month old Colorado Mountain Dog chewed this apart in one sitting. The scary part for us was that he got a small piece of plastic bag out of it and almost ate it. Not recommended for strong chewers."
