as I stated buddy my dog whose name for himself is Karnath the destroyer..lol he absolutely destroys toys in mins. I still buy them because your dog is only with you for so long and they love you the whole time. now I've bought Kong toys that lasted a couple of hours even the red ball maybe a day or so its in pieces I left a review on a squirrel tree toy 20 mins after opening with pics it was a mountain of fluff.. now this is day 9 the toy has lost the lil arms but it's still intact the squeakers which he goes for relentlessly are still there all 3 the main body is almost indestructible so far I deff will buy again but I'm going to have to satisfy my dog's cravings and get 1 he can shred lol this is a toy which if your dog kills toys will last awhile it was worth the 10 bucks and it's still holding up to Karnath. I recommend buying this toy. Read more
I've always purchased Outward Hound toys as well as small dog carriers, etc. They have always proven themselves to be superior to other toys. I always hold out for giving reviews, to give the product a while to prove itself, and it's durability. As a professional dog trainer, I have reviewed MANY dog toys with my own dogs along with daycare dogs. For Christmas, I purchased this toy for my Giant Schnauzer pup. I gave him this toy in January as he already had a plethora of other toys, so I decided to save until he needed something fresh. To my surprise, I was completely dissatisfied with this toy. Although the small print states it's not constructed of the fire hose material. My dog in just a few days completely destroyed this toy. The first squeaker came out the first day.. The second day, it was shredded, under supervision. I like to test toys with my own dog and pass on information to my clients as well as determining the toys that will stand up in my daycare. This was a MASSIVE failure.. Within 20 min on the second day, there was red material and threading spread through my living room and a squeaker was completely decimated. My Giant is admittedly an aggressive chewer, hence my reasons for purchasing this toy. The iron eyes and mouth were located floating in my dog's beard. I am truly disappointed with the quality of this toy. I've purchased high-end to cheap toys which in the end is menial. What matters is how well the toy is constructed, and this toy didn't even make the charts. I would love to be a toy tester for a company that wants to put their toys through thoroughly REAL LIFE testing. I am SOOOO disappointed with the manufacturing, materials, and longevity this toy has offered.. Outward Hounds.. you have earned a double thumbs down on this one... Read more
When I met my bf and his dog Casper he had dozens of toys. Other than a random racquetball his best friend was this turtle. I found one at a Marshall’s once but bless Amazon for having it all. It’s my go to. My boy is a big German Sheppard lab mix, he destroys these in a few months. By destroy I mean he cleverly kills the squeaker and rips off the extremities. Other than that these things are indestructible. Read more
I picked up this long lizard because my Bernese treats most toys like a timed demolition project. Three weeks in, it’s already outperformed every “tough” toy that usually taps out within forty-eight hours. The fabric is thicker, the stitching is tighter, and it holds its shape long enough for him to parade it around like he won a prize. It’s cute, oddly proud-looking, and clearly entertaining him more than the usual lineup of doomed plushies. That said, the legs are living on borrowed time. If you have a power chewer, expect those appendages to vanish first and the rest of the body to follow shortly after. This isn’t a forever toy; it’s a temporary distraction that happens to last longer than the competition. Best for people who enjoy spoiling their dogs and accept that toy mortality is part of the lifestyle. Skip it if you’re aiming for something indestructible. Compared to what I’ve bought before, this one buys me more peace and fewer shreds on the floor. Bottom line: a charming, sturdier-than-average plush that won’t win the war but delivers a solid three weeks of entertainment. Read more
Dog had this brand new toy for less than 30 minutes and this “tough” toy was destroyed. Dog loved it. Read more
It's big, it's tough...firehose type material. Best suited for a large dog. Hard to squeak for a small & medium dog. Read more
My dog is an Aggresive Chewer and I thought she would have a challenge with this material but had it torn in 3 places in the first day and had all 3 squeakers out in 1wk. Read more
We went on vacation with cousins who have an active 2 year old black lab. We have a 3 month old black lab. Both are very active. And love to chew. Our cousins had gotten this toy for their dog and it was sun-faded and well-chewed - but in absolutely great shape. The squeakers still work and the toy hasn't fallen apart, shredded, or unraveled. The legs have gotten pulled off (dogs love tags), but the body of the toy is like firehouse, so it really holds up. As soon as we got home we had to buy one and I think we'll buy a couple more. They're not soft per se, but you really don't want it to be in order to have along life. It's a great toy for dogs of all ages and chew-preferences, and with the squeaker, it's interactive and keeps their attention. And there doesn't seem to be any stuffing to mold or fall out - just squaker and hose. We love this and will buy several - so we have one in the truck, in the car, and in the house - at least!
