This is the 2nd one of these that I purchased for our Lucy. The first one never really "gave out" but was becoming very stinky because it was her favorite. I knew that I wanted to replace it with one just like it. I confess that I first bought WestPaw because they were made in America but after seeing the quality, I will not be getting dog toys made off shore again. Thanks for such a great product delivered in a timely manner. Great company! Keep up the good work!
