Highlighted Reviews

— HarleyandBella

"This toy has been great, and we’ve had it for a couple weeks and he has been unable to destroy it, chew it or tear it apart"

— Epona

"If you are in search of a tough dog toy, avoid this product. It comes apart in chunks and only lasted for about two minutes with my Heeler. The chunks broke off and exposed a fishing line-like material, which could be hazardous. Chewy, I'd recommend taking this toy off of your listing!"

Bottom Line

If your dog is a light chewer, this toy can provide plenty of fun. However, for heavier chewers, it may not hold up, and you might want to consider a more durable option.
