Highlighted Reviews
"I have come to accept that the toys my dog (border collie pup) loves most are the ones she can chew to shreds. I understand people saying these don’t last long (ours lasted about a week, but the bone part is still going strong and it’s her favorite)"
"This toy lasted 10 minutes! Stuffing everywhere. Can’t find the bone from the trunk."
Bottom Line
This toy is fine for casual play but not recommended for heavy chewers. Its cheap price and small size makes it suitable for small breeds and puppies but not for those expecting long-lasting play.
