I got this for our Grandpug for Easter. It's a great toy and he loves it and therefore should have 5 stars.BUT there is a very strong chemical odor to it and the box too. I put it outside for a few days, but the smell was still there. Only after spraying it every day for a week with febreeze, and I mean saturating it everyday, the odor got less but there was still an odor. I had the empty box that it came in in my garage and the chemical odor was nauseating. This product is made in China. I would not order anything made by that company again unless I can find it in a store and smell it first.
