"We bought one of these for our Corgi puppy. Four years later, she still has it and loves it! It's gone through the wash several times and holds up great. I really got my money's worth from this toy!"

— Marilyn

"My mid size terrier had the rope untied and out of the holes of the red bone in 2 days. He loves playing with both, but even when I put it back together again - it didn't stay. Of course, the rope began to unthread immediately too. So buyer beware: Good for awhile."

Bottom Line

If your dog is a light to moderate chewer, this toy can provide hours of entertainment. However, if your dog is an aggressive chewer, you may need to replace the rope frequently or consider a different toy altogether.
