Thinking about getting this for my two and half year old, who loves dogs. Is the toy appropriate for her age?

Yes, this is a wonderful toy for those that can't have a real dog yet. I got this for my 4 year old granddaughter and the two one year olds were interested in it as well. This should be perfect for your 2-1/2 year old. It will bark in the package if you walk by it so keep it hidden. It is a cute toy.

I got this toy for an 8 yr old and she loved it. The toy was sent to my granddaughter in another state so I have never seen her interact with it. Her father says that she takes the dog for walks and pets it. I believe a two year old may be a little too young to appreciate the toy.

I think 2-1/2 might be too young. It isn't really cuddly, the best thing about the toy is how you can walk it on a leash. I'm not sure what the manufacturer recommends, but I think 5 years old would be the youngest I'd buy it for. Your 2 to 3-year old would probably appreciate a plush puppy better. I got my 9-year old son an FAO Schwartz puppy when he was that age. He still sleeps with "puppy."

Definitely. If you would like a temp replacement for real puppy this is a very good choice. The puppy has wheels just to let you know.Also it responds to voice. Really cute puppy..

Yes my son is two and a half years old and operated it just fine. The only bad thing is the toy only worked for five minutes and then it just stopped working.

Might be. Depending on the child. We have 2 2 year olds (2 in April) and they love it. I think they'll play with it off and on when they are 3.

Depends on the breed and your interest and patience. This toy is really about your relationship with your dog. Our 4 mos old Aussie really enjoyed working with us to figure this out, but needed the guidance and step by step clues to complete. It is NOT a toy that puppysits like food balls and stuffed Kongs. This is like a tutoring session and for some dogs, like our adult Shiba, it was way over his head.

No, it would not be too small for your dog. 150lb. Giant Schnauzer an 50lb Welsh Terrier both use this toy without any issues. There are smaller parts but you should supervise and play with your dog when using the more advanced parts of the game/puzzle.

I think it would be great for that age. I bought one for my 5 Year old daughter and she has gotten the hang of it. Also it's pretty fun to play with being an adult too. It's a pretty quick toy. Good Luck!

my daughter is 15 months old and likes to play with the books and the dog separtely...i recommend it because its cute and they will grow into the toy.

It's not a toy. But my 4 year old daughter enjoy singing with it. But no, it's not a toy. I think for a 2 year old is better to look up for something themed with some cartoon character, but that's my opinion :)

Well, all i can say is this: at 20 months its reasonable for me to assume that the developmental stage she is at right now, i would like to encourage you to get it. I say this because it has 4 wheel stability. This will help her motor skills and encourage muscle development. And i believe with supervision, you will be pleased watching her play on a pretty safe toy. She will grow into it regardless. God bless and good luck.

I bought this dog for my granddaughter when she was only 13 months old. She was so excited when she opened the box and heard barking. She had no problem interacting with it at 13 months. She's now 25 months old and has yet to get tired of her "doggie." She loves it. It was a great present from Nana.

I would say they will love it! Just be careful if you play a little tug-o-war as the toy will snap back and hit you...I don't let Duke get the toy often and when I do, I don't let him chew on it, he'll typically drop it when asked. If your dogs are trained to drop it, this will be a good purchase to tire them out. It's best to use on one dog at a time.

Absolutely! My 1 year old 50lb AmStaff/GSD has been loving this toy for a while.

I gave it to my grandson when he had just turned two. The animals that come with it seem big enough so as not to be a choking hazard.

I bought this for my then 2 year old daughter. She's now three and still plays with it almost every day. I'd say it is appropriate for roughly 2-4 maybe 5 years old.

I bought it for my 5 year old granddaughter and she loved it. I don't see why a one and a half year old would not be delighted with it also. it's an adorable doll that works well and appears to be very durable.

I got one for my 70# Labrador, a 2-yr-old, who has managed to destroy every toy we've gotten her, the only exception being the large Kong, until this ball. She quickly learned to remove the tasty inserts, so now we put biscuits inside the ball itself (it's made to do that) and she hasn't destroyed it yet, going on 6 months. PS for outside play, if you have some space, the large "Jolly Ball" made for horses holds up well, too.

Yes, It is a fantastic toy! We have a 65# Boxer and this is her favorite toy. The house lends itself to many other hiding games. Very sturdy we have had it since 12/13. It only has 5 dogs.
