Highlighted Reviews

β€” Jenna

"This toy has completely flummoxed our pup. She gets very cute and tries to hunt it and run away from it at the same time. It’s decently heavy for our medium-sized dog, but it is really cute. Highly recommend."

β€” jim

"Received Blue Giggle Kitty today, it did not last 1 hour before it was in pieces. Not as tough as it was advertised to be."

Bottom Line

Satisfactory for small dogs or extremely gentle chewers, but don't expect long-term durability. Verify compatibility with your dog's size and chewing habits before purchasing.
