I have to admit, I messed up when I ordered this set. I missed the fact it states "...Gentle Chewer...", Whoops! I would love to be able to tell you how great these were with our two dogs, but in less than 3-4 minutes, the squeaker was missing, the two toys were in at least 5 pieces each, and some of the crinkle plastic was missing, presumably down the hatch with the squeakers. I obviously can Not fault the seller for my inability to actually read the description before ordering, so there will be No stars taken away for this. Here is what I can say. When I removed these from the package, they felt soft & cuddly. The crinkle plastic made an enticing sound and the squeakers were not extremely obnoxious like some seem to be. The colors were good and the construction appeared to be good. I can also say that before these hit the mouths of our "extremely agressive chewers", I really thought they might have a chance to survive for at least an hour or so. Our biggest chewer is a 3 year old GSP (German Shorthaired Pointer). He can make a Kong toy go away in less than a week - quite impressive, if you ask me! We have found that old fire hose and 1/2"+ cotton rope with knots in it seems to last the longest with him. He can play with those for over a month before we have to get another piece for him. I hope you can now see why these toys didn't stand a chance. I really would like to find something else for him to play with other than the ripe and fire hose, so I keep searching, and usually end up with really hilarious results, if nothing else. When these first arrived, and before they were destroyed, I did my typical initial inspection and didn't find any major issues or defects that would render these unusable. Five minutes later however... at this price point (~$16), I believe this is an average value. A quick search shows similar items costing between ~$12-20. At the rate they were destroyed, this little experiment runs just a bit less than $200/hr. Is it worth it for our big time chewers to have 5 minutes of fun, maybe, but if the squeakers and crinkle plastic don't come out the other end completely, the vet bill might be really high - I'll let you decide. Me, I'll make sure I double read the description before ordering something like this again! Hope this helps. Read more
Our dog Anya doesn’t seem too interested in these toys, probably because she loves to pull out the stuffing and these toys don’t have any in them. I was hoping the crinkling of them would hold her interest, but unfortunately it does not. However, that doesn’t mean it deserves to have a star taken away, so I give them 5. If you shop at a pet store or a retail store for your fur babies, you’ll see that it’s not cheap. I have seen toys similar to these that cost as much for just 1. So 3 for $15 is quite a deal. The size is great for you to play tuggy because it’s long and easy to hold onto-both for the dog and human. The quality seem well made and even though my dog isn’t crazy about them, she was excited to get them as her Christmas gift and did show some initial interest upon ripping open her present. The noise level is low so that’s definitely a plus. Some squeaky toys can get way too loud a d obnoxious. It’s super cute too! Read more
I recently got this toy for my teething puppy, and I couldn’t be happier with it. The fact that it’s made with 100% non-toxic, tightly woven plush and has zero filling gives me peace of mind, knowing there are no choking hazards or cotton spills to worry about. My puppy loves to explore with her mouth, and this toy is perfect for her gentle chewing habits. The hidden squeakers and crinkle paper are a hit with her. They really spark her curiosity, and I love watching her pounce, shake, and carry it around. It’s been a great way to keep her entertained and beat boredom, especially since she’s a small breed. The oversized comfort of the toy, measuring between 19.7–22.4 inches, is ideal for her to cuddle with or carry around. It’s also perfect for her moderate chewing habits, making it suitable for small, medium, and large breeds. One of the best features is how it calms her anxiety and redirects her destructive chewing. It’s been a lifesaver during crate time and quiet evenings at home. It helps soothe her sore gums during teething and reduces her tendency to chew on furniture. Plus, it eases her separation anxiety, keeping her happily occupied when I’m busy. Overall, this toy has been a fantastic addition to our household, and I highly recommend it to any dog owner looking for a safe, engaging, and anxiety-reducing toy for their pet. Read more
These are great little dog toys for the price! They're sized perfectly for most breeds of dogs and are colorful, well-made and engaging for active dogs. While these are nicely made they aren't designes to be particularly durable, so they aren't suitable for destructive young dogs or for individuals that prefer to rip and destroy their playthings. They're perfect for very young puppies or for playful adults that like to shake, chase and fetch, though! Of my own pack, my 45-lb border collie loves these the most, and she can entertain herself with them for hours. She loves to toss them in the air and run around shaking them while they squeak and crinkle. Even when she's napping in her crate she'll occasionally wake up and you can hear the soft crinkling sound of her gently chewing on one. :) They're super easy to throw in the wash to clean, and I love them because they provide the entertainment value of plush stuffed toys without the bulk or the risk of being easily destroyed; even if a small hole is ripped open it's easy to repair.
