"My 11 month old standard poodle is OBSESSED with this toy! She's very ball and fetch motivated and this is the ideal alternative to tossing a hard ball around indoors."

— Cheryl

"This toy lasted maybe 15 minutes before falling apart and was totally trashed in 30 minutes. I likely should have known better as we need more sturdy toys with scotties. They are demolition experts"
