"It's easy for her to see it float and also easy to grab. It lasts long, this is our second Amphibious Gator, the first one lasted for several years. I recommend the small size even for large dogs, that way their mouth is not as open while they are swimming."

— dogs

"My dogs did not even have these for 24 hours before they had them chewed apart and i had to "chuck it" in the trash. I was very disappointment in the chuck its I had bought for my 2 Chesapeake bay retriever's."
