Withstands rough play
Color: Green
It’s sturdy and has withstood my cairn puppies chewing. It’s Long enough length for a good game of tug. One squeaker, which doesn’t much excite them. Pups tend to choose other toys over this, but will engage if I present it to them.

Durable.
These are great for my 13 lb Schnauzer. Just the right size to keep him occupied! He loves chasing after them when we play catch. They’ve held up well to his sharp teeth.

Durable yet soft ball that our dog enjoys chewing.
The balls are soft and well received by our puppy. They are pretty durable and he enjoys both chasing after them and teething on them.
