"My dog absolutely loves this. She chooses it over all her other harder textured bones so I think this slightly gummy texture feels better on her teeth. She’s 11 yrs old now so I think she’s just starting to need more age appropriate toys. Glad we found this."

β€” Lynda

"This chew toy comes apart in little pieces that is not good for my dog I'm disappointed I would like my money back or exchange it for something else but it's not a sturdy toy it's half torn apart my dog is only a year old she's 20 lb and there's no reason why this gel so it doesn't last it's suppose..."

Bottom Line

If you have a senior dog with gentle chewing habits, this toy is a good addition to their chew collection. However, if your dog is a more vigorous chewer, consider a more robust toy.
