Promising review: "Best entertaining toy ever. This was the best toy I have purchased for my puppy yet. He loves it and it helps keep him busy when he is in the yard all day. Only gave 4 stars on durability because in a month he has already tore up the rope toy and bungee a little. However my 70-pound Chesapeake is what you would classify as an extremely heavy chewer." —Tammi Duckert

Promising review: "I have two Frenchies, and I got them each a ball, and they won't play with two at a time, they wanna play with one together, which is fine with me. You get about two hours per charge, and it tires them out and keeps them entertained. My pups become obsessed with this ball, I literally have to take it away for them to leave it alone. Worth every penny, and the quality is on point, durable, and replacement skins are only $12!!! I would highly recommend this product to any dog owner." —Sean L.

Promising review: "This is an amazing puzzle for cats! It has provided hours of entertainment to my cat so far and because it has so many places to hide treats he doesn’t get board, every time is a “new” puzzle for him and you can change the configuration any time! Very sturdy, he has climbed on the cube a couple of times and it’s like new. I know is a bit pricy compare to other cat toys but is totally worth it! When done he is mentally tired and ready to take a nap." —Flavia Lanata

Get it from Amazon for $27.95.

Promising reviews: "Our 5-month-old pup LOVES her flirt stick! It is a great way to entertain but most importantly, tire her!" —CYD

"My puppy finds this very entertaining. He’s a big chewer and the toy seems to hold up well. They even give you a second one you can clip on the rod once your dog tears through the first one. We are still using the first one and it’s been months. That being said every dog is different. If your dog is the type that shreds all soft dog toys in a few minutes then this is not a toy for you. Also it’s meant to be used with you and your dog. If allowed, my dog would start chewing on the rod part which is sturdy too but I think if he was chewing that for a while it would not hold up, but it’s not designed for that." —SB

I have a black-capped conure who usually gets bored with toys within a day and I'm constantly buying new toys. I purchased this out of pure desperation. I expected it to last a few days top. But I was shocked that my bird loved it and it lasted months! My bird has never been entertained so much or for so long by any other toy. I will definitely keep replacing it because it's just the best!

Promising review: "Keeps my cockatiel entertained for hours. I have a 4-year-old, very playful and curious cockatiel that will chew everything and anything from furniture to papers to my hair!
