"This Chew toy keeps our Belgian Malinois busy in the kennel and has helped with separation anxiety. Highly recommend."
"Usually Kong toys are made tough & last long. My miniature poodle bit pieces of this off the first day. First the ears, then everything else. Tiny pieces of blue rubber all over. I had to throw it out right away & luckily he didn’t eat any. Very disappointing for $8!"
