"This lasted longer than some toys and the design is great, but my pups did tear bits of rubber off after a while."

— Trish

"This was torn up in 3 mins. My 3 dogs got the treats out and destroyed the toy too. Waste of my money. Wish it was thicker not so flimsy. If was harder plastic may have lasted longer. Disappointed :("
