Highlighted Reviews

— Dianne

"My dogs are not destroyers of toys so I cannot rate that, but they sure did enjoy this cutie."

— Carol

"I have a large, active dog who sometimes chews holes in toys going after the squeakers. This toy however just pulled apart at the seams and I have never had a dog toy just pull apart."

Bottom Line

Overall, the Clifford The Big Red Snuggle Buddy Plush Dog Toy is a mediocre choice due to its poor durability and sizing issues. Consider this toy for calmer, less aggressive chewers, but be prepared for it to fall apart quickly. Prioritize alternative plush toys that may be more durable.
