"My dog hates toys so when I found this one I was a little nervous at first but since I got it he’s plays wit it all day everyday and he’s a pitbull and it last so that says a lot about the quality of this item"

β€” c0ndieball

"Weak made toy. Then you want $10? Waste of money unless your dog has the weakest jaws made."

Bottom Line

Consider this toy if your dog is not an aggressive chewer and you are looking for a temporary entertainment option. Avoid for dogs that may destroy it quickly.
