I gave this dog toy 2-stars based on my dog toy rating system (DTRS) for “Albert” the Blue Bear! Safety (1-rating): Albert fell apart after 4-hours of use. 1. The ears were chewed off and I was only able to find one of them, which means my dog swallowed the other ear. Very big concern as it depends on how big your dog is to pass this object. The ear is about the size of 1.5-quarters. 2. The tail was almost chewed off entirely and was hanging on by a thread before I threw it out. 3. After the ears came off, the inside foam started to come out, which raised my concern for my dog’s saftey. 4. The entire body was soft and did not cause any harm to teeth, gums, paws, nose, etc. Durability (3-rating): 1. The ears and tail are the weakest parts of Albert as they can easily be chewed off. 2. The body is durable enough to sustain 4-hours of use, as I threw Albert out after the ears and tail were torn off within 4-hours. 3. The small squeaker inside Albert’s belly was broken after 15-minutes of use. Thank Goodness! 4. My next concern was how long the arms and legs would last; TBD! Squeaker (1-rating): 1. Small plastic squeaker, the size of a half-dollar, with a high pitched noise. Fatality (2-rating): 1. Albert was put to rest after 4-hours of use as I was concerned for the safety of my dog with continued use. 2. If Albert didn’t come with ears or a tail, I can only imagine how long he would’ve survived as the material seemed to be durable enough to withstand continued use. In conclusion, “Albert” the Blue Bear is not worth the money for a toy that falls apart after 4-hrs of use and with the concerns of safety. I was surprised that it was only 8-inches tall, next time I’ll confirm the size of the toy before I purchase the next one.

This was a very cute toy. So I still have it 3 stars. But I bought it for my 35 pound bull terrier for Christmas and her big brother a 90 pound American pitbull destroyed it in less than 4 hours of us having it. It would have been the perfect gift for her and maybe even “indestructible” but for Bruce Wayne it was no match. lol it has a squeaker in it and I think that’s why he had to demolish it. I’d say for smaller dogs it’s probably a long lasting toy. But for bigger and determined dogs not so much. It did have a tug a war rope inside they’ve had fun with that lol. Read more
Very cute little toy, not as durable as I had hoped. We gave it to our puppy on Christmas morning and it was missing a foot before we had finished unwrapping gifts, insides were outside before the paper and boxes were cleaned up. It has been four days and there is almost nothing left of it. Read more
I gotta give this bear some credit. It did take a lot of damage. But ultimately it was destroyed fairly quickly. So this bear is not indestructible like it says. BUT it was a cute and sturdy toy compared to regular toys. I have a lab/husky mix about a year old, he will eat anything. So that's why I couldn't give 5 stars. There are better options for large aggressive chewers. This might work better for a smaller dog. Read more
Claims for heavy chewers. indestructible it's not. Within 15 minutes my shihtzu had a ear almost gone. I expected it to last much longer by the description of the toy. Very disappointed. Read more
It’s a cute toy but it is not indestructible. My little granddog, Beagle, was pulling out the stuffing after three hours. My search continues for a truly indestructible toy. The item itself is cute. I was a little nervous that she would swallow some of the loose string being pulled on so we watched her closely. It’s not a toy I would leave her alone with. Read more
For dogs that are truly heavy chewers/ shredders —-don’t wast your money. My dog had the squeezer out in 5 min. Stuffing went shortly after as did the rest of the bear. The ropes inside are nice as it added a little life to the toy. But for the money…not worth it. Read more
This product needs rebranding, because it is certainly not indestructible. While this product lasted longer than the few minutes as posted by others, it did last two and a half months, but she had plenty of other toys to play with, which she promptly tore apart first. My dog definitely enjoyed it, especially for the squeaker inside, which is what she strove to tear apart to find. The toy felt durable, hefty enough to play fetch with, and a good size for my dog to grab. When my dog did finally tear it apart, it was done. The stuffing came out, and she was able to tear bits of the cloth rope or something from the inside into choke-sized pieces. I'm just glad I was there to pick up the pieces. Read more
