    Dog Obsessed -- Toy a Mess
    Color: Squirrel
    The dog was OBSESSED. Truly loved this toy, but he ripped the little pockets really easily. While he still wanted to play with it, it was a little disappointing.

    Cute toy
    Color: Squirrel
    My dog loved it! Looks just like the pics. Durable for most dogs I’m sure. My little dog can destroy anything though lol! Didn’t get to use the treat part cause he destroyed it but looks like a neat concept

    Creative and well made!
    Color: Squirrel
    This is a great dog toy, durable, creative, and it kept my dogs busy and very, very interested. It's challenging enough, but not frustrating. Great for tug of war, too!

    Looks like fun but NO
    Was so excited to get this and slow my girls down eating their treats and engage them in play. How big do the treats have to be? Because I had to scoop wet gross chewed up treats out of each pocket, vacuum, and put them in the washing machine AFTER my girls abandoned them with the treats still in the pockets. GREAT IDEA but not functional. Agressive chewers would have destroyed the toy the first time. SO DISAPPOINTED

    Keep these in our pet toy collection at all times.
    Size: 15", Style: Rabbit
    My 4 dogs love this toy so much I have them all over to play with. The inside helps make this adorable toy last for longer than most dog toys and for the price this means ALOT to me for the value of my money. This dog toy is soft and fun to throw around the house and not break anything as they chase it around. What dog doesn't love a squeaker toy also for an added bonus. The squeaker doesn't last long with 4 large dogs, but long enough I feel like for the price I paid.
