I needed a chew toy for my large breed foster puppy who was wearing her teeth down on her kennel due to separation anxiety. Obviously, I didn’t want her to further injure her teeth, so I took a chance on this toy in the hopes that it was more durable than some other rubber toys that she destroyed. It has been a success! We haven’t tried it in water, but she’s happy to chase it since it has an irregular bounce on smooth surfaces, and she’s also happy to chew on it with no damage to the toy or her mouth! It has also held up to sharp, puppy teeth from my baby greyhound. A sure favorite in this house!
