I should have trusted the other reviews. Great idea and my mini dachshund loves it, maybe too much. He's completely destroyed it in less than a day. Good idea, poor materials. If a 13 pound mini dachshund can chew this to bits any dog can and likely will. Somewhat dangerous too my if they swallow the bits the chew off. I never thought of my dog as a vigorous chewer before, but if there's food involved I guess he is.
