Dog toys
This is very durable and my dog hasn’t tore it up yet. The price is reasonable. It is a cute little toy. The appearance is just like the picture. It doesn’t make noise.

Best Dog Frisbee I’ve Tried
This is the best dog frisbee I’ve tried. I have a 90lb Lab that only thinks about eating, car rides and, of course, frisbee. He’s a great catcher and this frisbee is his favorite.It is heavy enough that it can still fly in some reasonably strong winds. It is also soft enough that I can throw it 100 feet and he can catch it at full speed without it hurting him at all.I’ve tried a 3 other dog frisbee brands in the past. Other brands I’ve tried are too light and flimsy and won’t fly well in even a light wind. They also tend to crack and chip and, I believe, my dog doesn’t care as much for them because of their brittle nature.On the down side, after some use (and I use mine almost daily. Multiple times. He insists.) after about 5ish months of hard, hard use they will begin to deteriorate a bit. Cracks will develop on the sides causing the frisbee to be a little harder to throw. At this point the frisbee is still usable but, is a sign that you will need to replace it soon. I don’t think this is a design flaw and I doubt any other frisbee would necessarily last any longer. Certainly the others that I have tried haven’t.Another thing to be aware of is storage of this frisbee. I live in a 4 seasons environment. I’ve noticed that if you store this frisbee vertically it can lead to a misshapen frisbee that does not fly as well. This happens primarily when you bring it back into a warm house after having had it exposed to sub 30 degree (F) temps. The frisbee will droop when you lean it up against something (as opposed to just laying it flat on a counter) and will stay permanently in that warped shape. Storing it flat on a counter top seems to avoid this issue.At any rate, I go through about 2 of these a year now and don’t think twice about it considering how much use I get out of them and how much joy it brings to the old boy.

Fantastic
I rarely ever write reviews but for this toy I will.For the price I didn’t expect anything grand, to be honest, I just needed to add something cheap to my same day delivery order.Anyway, my dog loves, loves, loves these rings. He chews and runs through the house with them, he plays with the rings just trying to pick them up with his paws.The blue rings are a bit softer and probably feel good on his teething gums and the rope is sturdy and he likes that texture too.This toy is absolutely amazing and better than some of the way more expensive toys we have gotten.Don’t even hesitate to get it!

Dog likes it
My dog enjoys playing tug with this. I do feel as though this can break easily if you dug too hard on it but so far only a little bit of where has occurred. It’s a pretty quiet toy. To occupy his time pretty well.
It is a beautiful picture. Can’t wait for my mom to see it at Christmas. Mom met the artist at his studio before his passing. He was the nicest guy ever. –
Dog toy
While this is a good gift . Just not a great gift for heavy duty chewers. My dogs had it destroyed in less than three days of getting it for Christmas

Durable and Engaging Chew Toy
The Petstages Orka Bone is a durable, treat-dispensing chew toy that keeps my dog entertained. We generally put a small block of cheese inside and dog a one happy guy. Gives him enough mental and physical exercise trying to get cheese out. It is highly durable and safe design. Easy to use, it’s a hit with my pup!

Great Busy toy
My Dog destroys toys very quickly, but this bone is tough and if you wedge a jerky treat inside – keeps her busy for 30+ minutes. It will crack eventually (this is my 3rd time purchasing) as she uses it daily and is chomping down HARD trying to breakdown the treat inside – but i dont worry about her accidently swallowing since it cracks (which you can see easily) and doesn’t chip or break off (i do will watch her while using the toy). overall love the quality, it’s a reliable toy i know will engage my tough chewer for a while. Will continue to purchase!

New design (updated 1/2016)
Update 1/6/16 – I have requested that Amazon change the misleading photo, they said they would (last year) – just wanted to make note that at the time of this update, this is still NOT the bone you will receive. A picture of the new style can be found here (if it works) http://www.amazon.com/PetStages-Mini-Orka-Bone-Dog/dp/B006P46JPK/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1452136332&sr=8-8&keywords=mini+orkaUpdate 2/12/15 – Sadly Orka has recently changed the design of this product so it is much thicker and tougher. The different textures on the thinner edges of the bones, that Baxter liked so much, are now focused on the middle (much thicker part) where he did not chew even on the older version. He won’t even touch this bone. This was his favorite toy, we are so sad that it has been changed.Original review: (5 stars)This was one of my dog’s first toys as a puppy. It is one of the only toys that he has never gotten tired of. He is an avid chewer, but not a really strong chewer, so it is perfect for him for hours at a time.Description:It is a fairly soft, flexible rubber type of material. Each part of the bone has a different raised texture to it. There are three tassels made of colorful canvas. Each is sewn down the center and tied in a fairly loose knot through a hole in one end of the bone.Pros:-It is very chewy for him because it is so flexible, but still makes him feel like he can get a good grip with his teeth. Some of the other rubber type bones we have tried, his teeth just squeak/slide right off and he doesn’t like even trying to chew on them.-For a 7 lb dog, this is the perfect size and weight for him. He can carry it around and flip it up to hold between his paws and comfortably chew on it in a laying down position.-We have had each last for several months of regular chewing.-He actually likes to chew and suck on (particularly when he was teething) the canvas ties.Cons:-They can chew pieces of the bone off and possibly swallow them. My boy always spits the pieces out and once I see that he is chewing it apart, it goes in the trash. Because of how soft it is, I do not think it would cause a problem, but it *could*.-He can chew the canvas ties apart and/or untie them and has swallowed a couple. He mostly chewed them up when he was teething and now that he is not, he never pays any attention to the ties on the bone except to use them to carry around. But when he was a puppy, I started untying them so he wouldn’t chew them apart or off and eat them.-The dye used on the canvas will fade as they are chewing on it.

Mein Hund kann sich mit dem Spielzeug stundenlang beschäftigen. Sie beißt darauf rum und schmeißt es durch die Gegend.
