Highlighted Reviews

— Lana

"If you have a small cat poo and are looking for a really good toy that they can’t destroy I highly recommend this one. I will say that they may chew the ends to where they become frayed, but my fur baby has had his for over a year and other than some fraying on the ends it’s still fully intact"

— Kyle

"I had gotten the XL size for my large dog and it was cool for about 3 seconds until I turned my back and he destroyed it. Definitely not ballistic."

Bottom Line

Recommend this toy for mild to moderate chewers or as a temporary distraction toy.
