Highlighted Reviews
"Our dog literally can chew through anything within a matter of minutes and she has had this toy since Christmas and the only thing she has managed to chew off is the tips of the ears. I will definitely purchase other toys in this line."
"Unfortunately, my dog tore the seams on the legs of this toy the day we received it. She is not a chewer, but she does like to tug. It is a cute toy and she seemed to really enjoy it, but it could not hold up to her roughness."
