Highlighted Reviews

— Anne

"I have been buying these bones for over 8 years. My 2 small dogs love them. We have trained them to bring it to us and we put a treat in it. They bring it back for another after they finish it. I highly recommend."

— horrible

"My dog destroyed this in about two minutes. Do not waste your money!!"

Bottom Line

Given the consistent reports of poor durability and potential safety risks, this toy is not recommended, especially for owners of strong chewers. Better alternatives are advised.
