"My dog Belle loves this toy. She likes to play fetch with it but will also entertain herself throwing it around. Very durable!"

โ€” Claudine

"It lasted two days and he just tore it up. It shaded all over the rug and floor. That was a waste. Threw it away"

Bottom Line

If you have a light-chewing dog, this toy can provide hours of entertainment. However, for heavier chewers, look for a more durable option.
