No Peanut Butter Scent
As mentioned in about her Nerf toy review, these are pretty much the only toys we buy for our power chewer. And our boy LOVES peanut butter— pretty sure he’d jump off a cliff for a spoonful of Jif. So when I saw 1) our brand of toy, 2) in peanut butter scent, it seemed like a no-brainer. I thought he’d smell the peanut butter and tear the package open before I even got home. Much to our dismay, this one had absolutely no smell and must not taste like peanut butter either, because he has very little interest in it.

Lacks durability
Lacked durability. Clear silicone outer shell started to break off once my dog chewed it. Lasted only a day or two. Wouldn’t recommend.

Does nothing to stop dogs from barking. I have other similar boxes that work great. Ordered this one because thought it was cute but doesn’t work.

Wonderful, safe chew toy
Durable but safe for dogs teeth. Our large red puppy chew on this all the time and we’ve had it for weeks.

Not durable at all but pooch loved it for a few minutes before destroying it
I don't consider my dog's super chewers. But my border collie lab mix got through this in just a few minutes. He definitely really liked the smell. Both my dogs liked the smell of this product a lot. But I need it to last longer and once you get past the softer springy outer layer, the inside is just hard plastic. So once I realized he was chewing up the hard plastic the chew toy was a goner
