I wanted a durable plushy toy for my small dog and wasn't able to tell how big this toy was based on reviews and pictures. Although this toy might be too big for some dogs, it's perfect for mine since she likes to tear soft toys apart. She loves this toy so far.

This is my second one as the first one finally gave up the ghost after a year and a half, 1 terrier and 1 gsd puppy later, and after 4 months it's still almost as new.

It's got heft and durable fabric which can stand the occasional chew session (only occasional) and can also stand the occasional tug-o-war between dogs!

The only thing I wish was that it's stuffing was natural cotton not artificial plastic fabric as it occasionally gets injested while they pull out the inside toys.

Out of all the boxes we received this toy was in one of her first boxes. She loves it like a security blanket. The squeak is gone and so are the flippers, but it is always in her mouth.

My large 75 lb Golden loves this toy. She’s very gentle with medium toys . Really any plush toy . However , most of what I buy are medium large toys. Its also pretty sturdy for a plush versus most BarkShop toys but that really isn’t a concern for us . I still might not recommend it for a determined chewer.

Side note : The barrel squeaker in it is stiff and at first I thought my girl would not like it but she has worked on it so she is able to squeak it which is important to her.

My puppers continue to share their new friend and seem very happy about it. It’s holding up well and it is really difficult to squeak, which is great for my sanity,
