β€” Brenda

"This is my lab’s favorite toy. It has held up so well and he plays with it several times throughout the day. This is the only toy that he doesn’t try to chew it.\u0020He loves this as his fetch toy."

β€” princesspickles

"The rope was destroyed after 10 minutes of my dog playing with it.\u0020Either don’t ever let them play with it alone or plan on havinhaving a useless tug toy in no time at all.\u0020Worst tug toy ever."

Bottom Line

For dogs that love fetch and don't chew excessively, this toy is worthwhile, but careful monitoring is advised due to the rope's fragility.
