"Both our mini poodle and four week old kitten enjoy this toy. It’s sturdy enough for baby teeth and kitten claws. They seem to love the little fringe the most. Will keep a watch on seams as jaws and claws get stronger, but so far, this has been a favorite of all the toys purchased!"

β€” Matthew

"Hey everyone, I’m sorry I didn’t get a picture. I didn’t think to review it until now about a month ago. I got this toy for my dog. He is a wicked tower and love chewing things. I assumed that this would be a great toy for him as it is marketed for puppies. Well, outside one day doing gardenin..."

Bottom Line

If you have a gentle chewer, this toy could be a good temporary solution. However, for more aggressive chewers, consider a more durable option to avoid frequent replacements.
