"This is our dog's favorite chew toy, and it has not come apart. The toy is very durable, very well made."

β€” Carrie

"Very disappointed as I’ve always had good product experience with the chuckit brand. We’ve used this toy only a few times. My dog is not a chewer but it’s coming apart. The top part of the toy is just about completely off making it unusable."

Bottom Line

If you're looking for a fun water toy for your dog and don't mind the potential for frequent replacements, this could be a good option. For those needing a more durable toy, consider looking at other brands that have better durability reviews.
