Bottom Line

The KONG Pillow Critters Giraffe Dog Toy offers great fun and comfort for smaller dogs or gentle chewers. It may not last long in the presence of strong, aggressive chewing, which makes it more suitable for cautious or infrequent users and not an ideal toy for aggressive chewers. Overall a fun but possibly fragile choice.
