Highlighted Reviews

β€” Amanda

"Obviously if your dog is extremely under stimulated they will be able to rip this toy up, they do have teeth after all. But as far as the toughness of a stuffed toy you won’t find one better than this."

β€” Kathryn

"Marketed as being for tough chewers but my dogs destroyed it immediately"

Bottom Line

Overall, the toy is a hit with dogs but falls short in durability, especially for heavy chewers. It is best for occasional play with supervision to avoid disappointment.
