... pits and I'm always reluctant to buy soft toys like this. My girls love it so far
345039
So i have two pits and I'm always reluctant to buy soft toys like this. My girls love it so far!! They ruined the head in about five seconds, but they love tossing it around and even play tug of war nicely with it! So far it's money well spent. The fact that it lasted three days alone makes it money well spent!! I'll update when it's fully destroyed to give a better estimate of durability

Four weeks ago I purchased Captain Kurklops for my 70lb toy destroyer and his counterpart, a 50lb foster dog who also enjoys chewing through things (thankfully only things that are hers!).  This is my second Tuffy brand purchase, but many purchases have been made in the world of toys marketed for strong chewers.  Months ago I purchased Tuffy's Ultimate Tug-O-War.  It has been the longest lasting stuffed toy I have ever purchased aside from the basket of random left-overs they still toss about (i.e stuffingless heads, arms, legs).  In all fairness, part of the reason it has lasted is because the dogs very, very rarely play with it!  I had previously only bought toys that were animal in form or at least animal-like so I thought that was the problem.
  I purchased Captain Kurklops in hopes that a more "fun" design would be more enjoyable for them.  The foster dog gnaws on it a bit and loves to carry it around but my dog has given up on it except for the occasional tug match with his foster sister.  It currently shows little sign of wear.  I do find this toy to be very tough with the possible weaker points being the mouth or the edging around the mouth.  Alas, I think I have found that my dogs most enjoy the toys that can be destroyed with some effort (but still within just a few days).  I find that to reach the "tuff" rating of the 8-10 level toys the plush factor of other stuffed toys and softness is lost and this is a negative for my dogs.  The quality of the product is evident and I would say it is tougher than the average toy marketed for tough chewers, so I would recommend it for many dogs.  For my dogs though it may not have been worth it based on the reasons listed above.

My 2 boxers received this now-beloved snake for Christmas, and despite them being two of the most destructive creatures on earth, Soft Snake continues to survive!  The squeakers are large enough that they take up an entire segment of the body, and although they squeak at the same loud and obnoxious pitch and volume of your typical toy, neither dog has been able to disembowel the guts yet, nor really even shown any inclination to do so.  What is it about the stuffing in other products that encourages this behaviour??

I digress.  Dogs seem to love the softness of this toy, and they finally have a soft plush toy they can play with...those babies normally last about 30 minutes or less, so this 3 week run has been a miracle.  They also have a fire-hose made snake with similar features, but they seem to prefer this soft one better, as it doesnt slip out of one's jaws during an especially vigorous game of tug-o-war.

I will warn you that the 36" long version, when shook VERY VIGOROUSLY (any vertebrate animal's backbone would snap instantly - vigorous), can be a hazard to low-lying items on a coffee table or similar.  We haven't lost anything of value, so I would highly recommend!

I have two 10lb Yorkie pups (11months) - one male and one female. The boy loves it as it squeaks very loudly and the colors are vibrant enough for him to see it (I got one red and one blue). For the most part it has a foam/velvet feel to it and can bounce very high if you give it a good toss which encourages him to run and leap to go fetch it over and over again. The girl on the other hand is very un-lady like and is rougher than the male dog. She ravages everything in her path. Both balls were damaged but I wouldn't say this is a poor quality ball as I know she is not the average pup. Since she has an unusually firm bite that was too much for the ball to handle, the material started to chip off and peel. You can see parts of the material look as if it was ripped off (as it was). I feel this ball is for gentler dogs that have no problem just gripping the ball easy enough to bring it back as it was meant to be. The girl has a nasty habit of bringing it back and then chewing on it which annoys hell the out of me because she damaged her ball then moved on to his. I guess his was still looking a little to new for her taste. If you own a beast like her I wouldn't purchase this. I found a pull toy for her that is made of the same material as fire hoses are made of which is bad because its really made for rot wilder and German Shepherd sized dogs. For the boy I plan on re-purchasing as a replacement as he was really active with this toy and was gentle enough with it to had last a very long time if it wasn't for the lady.

The main reason we chose this doll over the mainstream dolls is because it is soft.  I wanted a doll that my 3 year old daughter could take to bed and she has cuddled it to sleep every night since Christmas.  Now I don't have to worry about her throwing it because it doesn't have a head made of hard plastic that will shatter valuables.  Also, it is easy to clean by just throwing it in the wash (although it says to hand wash, but we needed to give it a deep clean).  I would definitely buy her another one of these.

I put the fox version of this toy up in the SkipHop forest friends baby gym and this is the only toy my 6-week-old has tried to play with so far.  She will stare and coo at it for five minutes at a time - which is an eternity for an infant!  She loves it!  She seems to love the soft chime in the one foot and the low rumble of the retracting cord the fox hangs from.  She also stares at its "face" which is a black nose and two closed eyes - must be something about the graphic contrast.  Also, the corduroy fur is so incredibly soft, and the long dangly legs have made it easy for her very uncoordinated hands to grasp at.  This is easily her favorite object in our house--must say I find myself a bit jealous of this fox from time to time!  She smiled at it more yesterday than she did me!

My pit LOVES this rope, even in its pulled apart form. I was disappointed she had it destroyed so quickly (under an hour)  - then again, she's a powerful chewer. It's still her go to toy though, over her Kong, Goughnut, Nylabone, Tire & ball. I can't bear to get rid of it, I think it would break her playful heart. I find it offputting to play with, but she sure doesn't. For the price it's worth the purchase.

This toy took me by surprise - I was really skeptical that they wouldn't like it. My dachshunds typically love the larger plush toys but these are a huge hit! I'll need to buy some more because one of my dogs tore a couple of these to shreds (she is a heavy chewer though, so I expected this). Do some price shopping on other sites to make sure you get a good deal on them!

This is a very tough toy. I had my daughter's dog for a weekend so I bought this for her.  She chewed on it all weekend.  Sent a photo to my daughter and she said "Time it".  As if it was going to be shredded in minutes, hours, etc., like all her other toys! It's still intact and ready for the next visit.  I sent one to their house so she can enjoy it every day.

An excellent purchase.

I just recently bought this toy for my 17mo old twin girls. But I didn't purchase this toy from Amazon, I got it at Target for right around $25. I thought my girls would get a kick out of this toy and they do. They can easily play the music which they like to dance to. They don't play it like a 'guitar' becuase they don't get it yet but that's just room to grow into the toy they already love to play with.
The colors are bright and is made of sturdy, hard plastic. The front has the powdered feel so it's 'velvety'.
You can strum or play music and the buttons play differnt 'notes' and music.
The dog bone whammy bar and buttons on the paws play music and songs.
The strings can be a little difficult to strum at first. You have to strum it just right.
The strap has a velcro closure but is a little long for my girls right now and is not adjustable.
The dial switches from On/Off to Acoustic to Electric to Dog Barks.
There is also a volume control...which for me a must for any toy, and thankfully the nose is a stop button.
And when left on after playing it will whine. Adorable.

Overall, a great toy and I really, really like it. I would most definitely recommend to a friend.

I have bought many Kong toys in the past and have never been disappointed. This is no exception. I recently got a new dog and bought this to see if my two dogs would play tug-of-war and they do! It's adorable! I love this toy. It's durable and my dogs love it. As with all toys I buy, I don't expect it to last forever. I'm sure it will eventually have all the loose ends torn off at which point I will definitely buy another.

Right now my girls are giggling like crazy listening to their baby panda talk to them. We did have to turn the tv off to get it to work better, but I'm impressed with how well the panda responds to them and to the rattle. The mechanical noises don't seem to bother my kids at all. The way the panda takes her bottle is probably their favorite part. And my favorite part is the on/off switch! We will not teach them how to turn the toy on and off, and even when the toy is in the off position they have enjoyed playing with it and its accessories. I would definitely recommend this pet!

My Pit Bull loves to squeak toys.  She doesn't have much of a desire to tear it up, but the cheaper plush toys break so easy when she plays.  The squeaker goes dead in a few minutes so this tuff toy holds up better to her chewing.  My Jack Russell on the other hand loves plush toys but for he sole purpose of tearing out all the stuffing.  She loves to pull everything out and then she is done with it.  Now while she adores this toy since it takes her so long to rip, give her a half hour and it's stuffing is missing.  Too expensive to be turned into fuzz, but still both my girls enjoy it.

I'm always on the look out for a toy that won't be destroyed by all the dogs that I board. I LOVE this toy because they are so soft the dogs can throw them around. They bounce and don't make a lot of noise. It's a very safe toy for the dogs to roll around indoors. ALL the dogs that have been here since I got it have played with and no power chewers have been able to damage it. I like the idea of being able to customize the size of the hole to the size of treats.

I hve 5 dogs and I would like to think I love them all the same but it's not true.  One of my dogs, Prue, has seriously made me question whether all dogs go to heaven or some dogs have a special place they get to go instead.  I still love Prue, however, and, once a year, I buy her a special gift.  Every year, Prue gets a new "Toy Toy." Toy Toy is a stuffed lambchop toy that the dog adores.  The dog can jump up and bite my nose repeatedly most mornings (I wish I were joking) but she has a special fondness for this 10" super plush stuffed lamb that I cannot figure out.  She carries it around.  She squeaks it's middle and it's paws.  She cuddles it's soft plush head.  She is very protective of it and won't let the other dogs de-stuff or de-fuzz or de-squeak it.  This goes on for months.  She carries the toy, which is almost bigger than her, in her mouth until, inevitably, she turns her back for too long and our meaty 18 pound de-squeaking monster of a dachsund grabs the toy and runs to a place where Prue can't get to Toy Toy.  For weeks after, Prue will carry around the empty carcass of Toy Toy until she brings it outdoors and it can't come back inside because it is dirty.

And then she waits until I buy her another one.  She just got her new one and when I hid it behind my back and squeaked the squeaker I am not exaggerating when I say this teeny tiny chihuahua jumped 3 feet in the air over and over again.  When I gave her 2016 Toy Toy she grinned and has not let it out of her sight.  When she is happy to see us she bites into Toy Toy and squeaks it at us.

I have no idea what I will do if they discontinue this toy.  It is the only thing that makes this dog behave and I am pretty sure that Prue's special place is one that doesn't have Toy Toy in it.  This is a great soft squeaky toy of excellent quality.  It generally lasts a while for dogs that don't just destroy things.  Clearly my dog loves it and I have bought this repeatedly.  I will continue to do so because, desptite her flaws, I love this dog.

This has become my 5 year old daughters favorite toy. She's never slept with a toy or been attached to one specific toy but she never puts this one down and it's been a month or so now.
