"I LOVE this toy! Like most toys my 9 y.o. Pittie gets she de-fuzzies stuffed toys, de-squeaks squeaky toys anywhere from 10 minutes to a couple of days. Expect for this Hambarker. Her first one lasted 6 months, it took her that long to start to gnaw a hole in it, and I'm now ordering her another on..."
"I have been buying these for three years . The last two came with a higher pitched squak sound that was not as good as the items before. Especially the last one I bought around Sept. The squeaker stopped working in less than two months and had an annoying high pitch. The quality has deteriorated."
