Highlighted Reviews
"Both of my dogs love this and one is little one is bigger, but they finally broke through to the stuffing, but I’ll take it because that toy lasted them for a long time. What would I consider a long time with power chewers."
"My golden loved this duck for approximately 15 minutes until it was destroyed. She's pretty destructive so that's not the reason for the low rating. The reason is that this toy is rated for breeds of all sizes, but she ripped out the squeaker ..."
