"My puppy hates her nails being trimmed, her trainer recommended this and she went absolutely crazy for it. It is pretty expensive for the size but I guess I can't complain if it worked."

— n.s.

"Thought I was buying a toy that would be an effective pe says Kepler who assistance. A dog that would like to dig. A toy that tries to do too many things at once and none of it very well. So mine never ever worked. Waste of an expensive toy inhabited by small dogs."
