Highlighted Reviews
"Our dog loves fetch, but he is an aggressive chewer! This is holding up well, and he loves that he can easily pick it up."
"The glider was too hard, and made terrible noises when my dog tried to catch it out of the air. It wasn’t durable at all. It immediately was dented, and became rough from gripping with his teeth."
Bottom Line
Unless you have a very mild chewer and are prepared for potential breakage, consider looking for a more durable and softer alternative.
