Is the mouth piece on these hard plastic or soft like on the camelbak?

The part that you stick in your mouth is soft plastic. The flappy parts that cover the spout, the push button and most of the housing are hard plastic.

It is a hard plastic. I have two of them for our mini schnauzer and they are great

They are hard on the outside but get soft enough to chew a little. These are the big jawbreaker size...not the little ones that come in a box.

It feels like hard plastic on the sides and back. The edges around the face are a bit softer.

The plastic is actually flexible and in a "u" shape. It kinda sits like a ring in a bull's snout, but snugger. They're pretty comfortable and help tremendously.

They are all solid hard plastic except for the octopus who is the same plastic but hollow with a large whole in the bottom like a puppet. Very durable, great for teething, but I wouldn't want to step on one in the night in the dark...

They are soft rubber. Relatively easy to squeeze all the water out -- several good hard squeezes seemed to do the trick. I turned them hole-side-up when thoroughly squeezed and they seemed to dry out pretty well overnight.

Very hard plastic. It is quite durable. A little awkward to open and close and probably better done with two people, but seems extremely sturdy and comfortably seats 6 or more people.

The original shields I bought 3 years ago were soft, these are hard plastic however I don't even notice a difference in the comfort level. The replacement parts are very difficult to find and these work perfectly. Hope that helps!

Mine was hard plastic, but I was able to apply pressure to the front pushing it back and it cleared the lip that was holding it on and I was able to lift it off.

It's pretty hard plastic. But if the dog is a bad chewer you might need another option. Worked great for my cats.

Soft like rubber. I actually had a friend (that knows a lot about snakes) who thought it was real from a distance.

It is a hard plastic... very durable! I installed this thing 2-3 weeks ago, and love it!

Softer like nylon or silicone. Not hard like the white plastic part you insert your pool pole in.

Though it is some sort of plastic, but not hard that it is stiff and not soft that it is flexible. On a scale from 1 to 10 with 1 being soft and 10 being hard, I would give it an 8. It is quite durable, but not too hard that a teething child would hurt himself with. My 6-year old enjoys it in the tub because it is not too hard for him to play with, though I think he would like it more if it were squishy, but that's another issue.

The back is hard plastic but the edges are more of a soft, flexible material.

Hard plastic, very small. you can fit them in your hand. Fish in my fishtank are bigger.
