Highlighted Reviews
"I bought this for my 1 yr old Havanese. Stanley tends to destroy everything he gets. We've bought all kinds of toys but this one is his absolute favorite. He carries it around everywhere. It's kind of large on the sides so he can't sit and chew it. He chases it in the yard and brings it back in..."
"My Joker (bullie) loved this toy, but he ripped the end off pretty quickly. Squeakers are good, but rain stick can only be heard if it's physically shaken by a human. This was a "meh" toy as far as KONG quality toys.... They've done better."
Bottom Line
Overall, it's a mixed experience. It’s great as a robust but temporary toy, which seems best suited for dogs who need something to chew on momentarily.
