"The rope running through the body... When they lay down to chew on it, they can eventually tear out the squeaker and chew off the moose's face, but with tough fabric and minimal stuffing, "

— Janan

"This toy lasted about 5 minutes with my dachshund. Got the first squeaker out in under 2 then the other squeaker. Started on the fur and feet next, had to take away after that."

Bottom Line

If you have a small to medium-sized dog that isn't a heavy chewer, this toy might be a good choice. For larger, more destructive dogs, you might want to consider a more robust toy.
