— Picky Pep

"We had some bigger ones at my work and would alternate them throughout all the rooms(diff sizes of dogs) and they were too big for the small pups. But these are not what you want to buy for pups. Just perfect size for my dogs. They are by far their favorite ball!"

— sharon

"I should have known better than to buy this but always trying to find toys for my dog. He had it pulled and ripped apart in less than 10 mins of getting it. Plan to use just with balls."

Bottom Line

Revising the rope and improving packaging are vital to mitigate bad user experience.
