Highlighted Reviews

— Carol

"My dog loves playing with this new toy! He loves to pull al the stuffing out. At least the dog is enjoying it."

— Whit

"Did not last 20 minutes. Our 9 lb. Miniature Dachshund put two holes in this toy within 20 minute of giving it to her"

Bottom Line

This toy is enjoyable but may not last long. Consider it for short-term fun or as a backup toy. Be cautious if your dog is a heavy chewer.
