Cute, durable toy.
It’s about as durable as you can expect a stuffed animal to be. I have two new puppies who are still teething and they love these things. I got the Kyjen sheep mat version (it’s a square shape, rather than the two rows of squeakers) for the little girl. Both dogs sleep with it in their crate and we take them on trips with us. I’ve gone so far as to open up the toy and replace the broken squeakers (costs about 5$ for 30 large squeakers).The rest of the toy is fine. Our german shepherd puppy absolutely loves the rattle that’s located in the head of the gator as well. The rattle also helps initially getting the dog engaged with chewing on the toy rather than your clothing or furniture. Then they discover the squeakers and it’s endless entertainment and a good distraction for your dogs.I haven’t had any problems with the thin, decorative material that’s represent the teeth, claws and back fins. It’s a slightly thicker felt that’s soft and flimsy. Honestly, I’m not worried about it. Even if they were to eventually chew these off, they’re not a choking hazard. Our little guy has thrown up solid pieces of kibble that are larger and harder than this. Seriously now, common.The eyes are sewn into the head, so there’s no risk of pulling them off and swallowing.I toss these in the washer on a gentle cycle to clean off the slobber and dirt about once every couple weeks and the squeakers are fine, though they sometimes have to dry out to be 100% functional again. It never takes long.Overall, I love the amount of squeakers just due to the breaking problem with have with single squeaker toys. Once they break, the dog loses interest. Which is also a nice way to train the dogs the difference between the non-squeaking kids toys. The dogs absolutely love this toy and wont sleep without it. When the fabric eventually wears out (not even a slight issue after a few months), I’ll be buying another one.

Great toy for dogs that love Squeakers
Our boy loves these. The shear number of squeakers allows him to play with it for a long time before he torn all of them out. He loves to carry it around and looks ridiculous when he does because of how long it is. These are one of if not his favorite toy and I keep having to buy him new ones when he does eventually “kill” it. Great toy.

Dog’s Favorite
My dog loved this toy. Now, if you have an extreme chewer like I do, it won’t last long. By day two, the head was completely ripped off and half of the squeakers were torn out, but I gave it five stars anyway. She wouldn’t even go on her walk. Typically just saying the word “walk” will make her barrel out of the door at lightening speed. She hasn’t dropped it since she first saw it. It deserves a rave review just for her sheer enjoyment and how hilarious it is to watch her flop it around and rip the squeakers out. So, to sum up: PROS – absolute enjoyment for the dog, and entertaining for the owner, large size, tons of squeakers, on the whole, pretty durable for a stuffed toy; CONS – Be prepared for quick destruction if you have an extreme chewer (although you should know that any stuffed toy is not going to live long if you have a dog like this.), small dogs might choke on some of the small squeaker parts, legs, etc. Other than that, cute and fun. I would definitely purchase again.

Great toy but
The dogo loves it. Be prepared to vacuum up bits of green fur frequently (as often as it is played with). It is quite large with plenty of squeakers. I would not say it is durable, sturdy, or has much of a long life. However, most toys do not last with my dog. In 3 days, most of the stuffing (just some in the head) was out, and most squeakers were destroyed. After almost a month, there are still 2 or 3 squeakers remaining, which is not that bad. I would repurchase it, though the vacuuming can be a bit much. And, after nearly a month, it has not slowed down – little bits of green and yellow fluff everywhere.

Augie’s favorite toy!
A gift for my son’s dog (giant Yorkie). He loves it. It’s a sturdy toy for a dog that plays rough, and it’s holding up well. Augie Doggie plays with the toy, carries it around, it’s now become his favorite toy!

Seams failed in 24 hours for my non-chewer.
I thought this was the greatest toy! I bought it one day ago. I looked down and my dog had a squeaker in her mouth. In less than 24 hours the seam had ripped open. She’s not even a “chewer.” In fact, she’s a small dog for an XL toy. If it had been a large dog, it could have choked on the squeaker. I’m really bummed! It’s so cute! Hopefully I just got a defective one.

Mi bóxer de 4 años lo ama y le divierte mucho. A unos meses de haberlo comprado aún sigue vive y con forma 😆

This toy keeps my dog happy and occupied. The multiple squeakers keeps him going. Expect a mess though but it take him a few months to get through it. Plus he lives to play tag with it.Great toy worth the mess!

Bought for my Jack Russell who decided he wanted the bigger one, bought for the American Bulldog. Luckily, they have swapped and all is calm amongst the 4 legged family.This one doesn’t seem as robust as the other, larger one, but, so far is still intact after 5 days and counting. One of the 6 small squeakers has given up the ghost, but it is being well chewed! The squeakers are a lot quieter than the bigger toy,thankfully, as I doubt I could take the noise otherwise. The original large one of this make, is still going strong after more than a year, just 2 silent squeakers! This smaller one will surprise me if it lasts that long tho’……time will tell.

It survived a corgi puppy. He enjoyed flipping it and attacking the paws.
