    For breds of less than 14 pounds the toy is a tad hard to handle

"My dog Sweetie loved this toy she tore it up in a matter of seconds but within 4 months she still plays with the limbs of the poor zebra. I would not recommend however if you want a lasting toy."

— PattiC

"This toy was just big enough for my dog (Golden Retriever) to hold in her mouth without swallowing, but just barely. The fur covering is a weird texture that keeps dog saliva on it and gets extremely slimy - much more so than other stuffed toys. It lasted all of 15 minutes before the ears were chewe..."

Bottom Line

Not the best option if your dog likes to chew hard. For a small poodle however it provides enough fun.
