"My dog really likes this toy - he did chew some of the pieces off but overall it’s held up pretty well."

β€” Thomas

"Purchased this with hope of tougher play for our puppy. The seamz do look durable but the sewn on appendages are felt and easily pulled off and eaten, which our puppy did immediately while playing in my lap."

Bottom Line

This toy is a good option for light to moderate chewers but may not hold up well for more aggressive chewers. Consider supervising playtime and removing any parts that could be potential choking hazards.
